Hanoi Business Pulse
- Culture Formal, hierarchical, and relationship-driven. Government presence is strong.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Best reached between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM. Business in the capital is more formal and hierarchical than in the south. Relationships with authority and government are often important. Trust must be built through multiple polite interactions and formal introductions.
Kuala Lumpur Business Pulse
- Culture Multicultural and professional. Values harmony and respect.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM (Longer on Fridays).
- Pro Tip Aim for 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. On Fridays, avoid the 12:30 PM - 2:30 PM window due to congregational prayers. Malaysia is multicultural (Malay, Chinese, Indian); be respectful of varying religious observances and holidays. Business is generally professional, polite, and consensus-oriented.
