"Managing in Turkish Culture" written by Prof. Dr. Acar Baltaş, has been made available for the readers by the publisher Remzi Kitabevi.

This book is a look at the business life with the eyes of a psychologist.

Western languages do not have the equivalents of words that wrap up unclear concepts of bondage, loyalty or obligation in approaching relationships as in our language because the cultural resources of these languages lack these concepts. In contrast, the equivalents of concepts of “vision”, mission, strategy and planning are not found in our language. Accoding to our tradition “the caravan sets out and its steam comes from behind”.

Language psychology which reflect the thinking style of a culture demonstrates the reasons for the formation and not formation of these types of concepts and their traces in the present life. This book, as does language psychology, searches how the Turkish business world is affected by its own cultural values and aims at showing the leader interested in these values how to be successful at home and abroad.
