Individualism vs collectivism differs much between the two cultures.



A similar comment is made on the website of a company (Communicaid) that provides consultancy service on culture and communication skills. On the structure and hierarchy in Turkish companies, they say that "Decisions are always made by the most senior business people. However, due to the strong sense of collectivism that underlines Turkish business culture, the decision maker will often consider the group involved in that decision."
