Synchronization Context
Syncing between Edinburgh and Seoul is challenging due to the 9 hours offset. Teams should prioritize asynchronous communication or specific 'handover' windows.
Edinburgh Business Pulse
- Culture Professional, historic, and relationship-driven. A major hub for finance and education.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Best reached between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM. Scottish business culture values personal rapport and integrity. Take a few minutes for polite greetings before the agenda. Edinburgh is a major financial center; expect high standards of professionalism and clear, honest communication.
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.
