Copenhagen Business Pulse
- Culture Flat hierarchy and very direct. Values design, green energy, and "Hygge".
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 12:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal call window is 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Danes are famously direct and value their family time; avoid calling after 4:30 PM. The culture is informal and egalitarian; do not worry about titles, but do worry about technical competence and honesty.
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.
