Accra Business Pulse
- Culture Professional, friendly, and relationship-oriented. Moves at a steady pace.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal window for calls is 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM. Ghanaians are known for being exceptionally polite and friendly. Relationship building is vital. Maintain a warm but professional tone. Punctuality is valued, but allow for some flexibility in meeting start times.
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.
