Turkish consumers appreciate added value in advanced and complex products. They are open to trying new things, new features, new applications, and replacing their phones frequently. This consumer behavior is shaping how technology develops.
BLUE SKY
My [R&D] strategy is to divide up the budget, for example, if I sign over $1 million, I ask for a 20 times return on $700,000, with the other $300,000 earmarked for blue-sky projects. I don't mind how that money is spent, and I don't ask for a schedule—buy a car if you need to, I don't mind, but I want a return on the $700,000.
