Brussels Business Pulse
- Culture International and bureaucratic due to EU presence. Values compromise and multilingualism.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Best times for calls are 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Business here is often international; ensure you know which linguistic community (French/Dutch) your contact belongs to, or use English as the professional bridge. Expect a focus on protocol and consensus.
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.
