Synchronization Context

Abidjan Business Pulse

Culture Formal, relationship-heavy, and the economic powerhouse of French-speaking West Africa.
Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
Pro Tip Best call window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. French is the primary business language; ensure you are fluent or have translation for technical talks. Personal relationships are vital. Hierarchy is respected, and a professional, polite tone is essential for success.

Seoul Business Pulse

Culture Extremely hardworking and hierarchical. "Pali-pali" (hurry-hurry) culture drives rapid growth.
Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
Pro Tip The ideal window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. South Koreans value speed ("Pali-pali") and expect rapid responses. Avoid the 12-1 PM lunch hour strictly. Ensure you follow hierarchical protocols if senior leaders are present, and never arrive (digitally or in-person) late for a call.
