Frequently Asked Questions

How does risk perception in Turkey differ from other countries?

Our research has identified several key differences in Turkish risk perception compared to Western countries. Turks tend to be more risk-averse in financial decisions but more risk-tolerant in social and health-related behaviors. There's also a stronger influence of collectivist values on risk assessment, with family and community opinions playing a larger role than in individualistic cultures.

What industries benefit most from your services?

We work with a diverse range of industries including finance (banks, investment firms), healthcare (pharmaceutical companies, hospitals), education (universities, policy makers), and international businesses entering the Turkish market. Any organization that needs to understand how Turkish consumers or employees perceive and respond to risks can benefit from our expertise.

Do you offer services in Turkish?

Yes, all our services are available in both Turkish and English. Our team is fully bilingual, and we can conduct research, workshops, and consultations in either language depending on client needs. We also translate all reports and materials between the two languages.

How long does a typical risk assessment project take?

Project timelines vary depending on scope. A basic corporate risk culture assessment typically takes 4-6 weeks. More comprehensive studies involving field research across multiple regions of Turkey may take 3-6 months. We always provide a detailed timeline estimate during our initial consultation.

Can you compare Turkish risk profiles to other Middle Eastern countries?

Yes, we maintain a comparative database of risk perception across 18 Middle Eastern and Mediterranean countries. While Turkey shares some cultural similarities with its neighbors, we've identified unique patterns in Turkish risk assessment that reflect the country's particular blend of Eastern and Western influences, secular values, and economic development trajectory.
