Beirut Business Pulse
- Culture Entrepreneurial, polyglot, and relationship-driven. Resilience is a key professional trait.
- Lunch Break 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM. Lebanese business culture is relational and resilient. Most professionals are multilingual (English/French/Arabic). Maintain a professional, supportive tone. Punctuality is valued, but be flexible with potential schedule changes due to local variables.
Tokyo Business Pulse
- Culture Consensus-based and very formal. Respect for hierarchy and "Meishi KΕkan" (business card exchange) are central.
- Lunch Break Strictly 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The most effective window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Avoid the strictly observed 12-1 PM lunch hour at all costs. Late afternoon calls (4 PM - 5:30 PM) are also acceptable, but ensure you follow formal protocols and hierarchy if multiple stakeholders are on the line.
