Contexte culturel
In Turkish business, 'yol yordam' often involves building personal relationships (relationship-oriented) before getting to the actual business (task-oriented). There is a strict 'yol yordam' for serving Turkish coffee. It is usually served to the eldest guest first, and always with a glass of water. In traditional neighborhoods, 'yol yordam' includes greeting the local shopkeepers (esnaf) and looking out for elderly neighbors. Historically, 'yol yordam' was tied to 'Adab-ı Muaşeret' (rules of politeness), which were highly codified in the Ottoman palace.
