Busan Business Pulse
- Culture Dynamic, industrial, and more direct than Seoul. A major maritime and trade hub.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Best times for calls are 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Professionals in Busan are known for being more direct and expressive than in Seoul. The maritime and logistics sectors are very active. Hierarchy and punctuality are still strictly followed. Avoid the 12-1 PM lunch hour.
Zurich Business Pulse
- Culture Precise, formal, and highly efficient. Values quality and punctuality above all.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The ideal window is 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Punctuality in Switzerland is non-negotiable; being even one minute late is considered a serious lack of professionalism. Keep your discussion focused, data-driven, and highly organized. Avoid calling during the 12-1 PM lunch hour.
