Birmingham Business Pulse
- Culture Industrial, professional, and increasingly diverse. A major center for manufacturing and services.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Best reached between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM. Business is professional and pragmatic. As a major UK hub, it has high standards for efficiency. Punctuality is expected, and a polite, collaborative tone is standard for building successful partnerships.
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.
