The article aims to address the efforts and opportunities for the innovative transformation of the organized industrial zones (OIZ) in Turkey from a sociological perspective. The study offers a holistic analysis by deciphering the factors that are effective in the development of organized industrial zones, which are one of the main components of the manufacturing industry ecosystem. A sociological analysis has been made to understand, explain, and construct the strategy of positioning organized industrial zones as the main constructor and accelerator of the manufacturing pillar of a knowledge-based social transformation. The basic framework of the analysis was carried out on the concepts of field, habitus and capital, based on the reflexive sociology developed by Bourdieu. The Innovation Center, which was established to accelerate the innovative transformation of the Manisa Organized Industrial Zone, was considered as an important case to be analysed in terms of reflexive sociology. As a result of the study, the basic axes for the transformation of organized industrial zones were determined based on the theoretical framework. In this context, a theoretical infrastructure has been tried to be established for more detailed further studies on the subject in the future.
