Brasilia Business Pulse
- Culture Formal, political, and influenced by government and administrative cycles.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. As the capital, business is often formal and hierarchical. Political and professional titles are respected. Punctuality in corporate/government settings is expected. Avoid scheduling anything for Friday afternoon as many people travel then.
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.
