In this study, following a brief discussion on the deviations of defense projects in terms of defense planning process, Program Management Approach, which may be defined briefly as managing a number of complicated projects for deriving common interests has been introduced. Following that, an alternative governance model which is based on the program management concept has been proposed, in order to manage defense resources in a more organized way. As a consequence, a number of inferences about the applicability of program management approach have been made in consideration of this research and interviews %K Savunma Sanayii %K Savunma Tedariki %K Program Y£¿netimi %K Proje Y£¿netimi %K Tedarik Sapmalar£¿ %U http://dergipark.org.tr/insanveinsan/issue/38221/392155
