Doha Business Pulse
- Culture Global, fast-paced, and highly professional. Influenced by energy and international business.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Best call window is 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM. Doha is an international hub; professional standards are very high. Relationship building is important, but discussions are also results-oriented. The work week is Sunday through Thursday. Avoid daily prayer times strictly.
Osaka Business Pulse
- Culture Slightly more pragmatic and direct than Tokyo. Known for a entrepreneurial spirit and "Kuidaore" (eat until you drop).
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Best times for calls are 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM - 4:30 PM. Osakans are known for being slightly more informal and direct than people in Tokyo, but standard Japanese business etiquette (punctuality, politeness) still applies strictly. Avoid the 12-1 PM lunch hour.
