Syncing between Incheon and Istanbul is challenging due to the 6 hours offset. Teams should prioritize asynchronous communication or specific 'handover' windows.
Incheon Business Pulse
- Culture Global-looking, logistics-heavy, and closely linked to Seoul. Values speed and connectivity.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. As a major logistics and aviation hub, business is fast-paced and international. Punctuality and rapid response times ("Pali-pali") are expected. Follow formal hierarchical protocols strictly in all professional communications.
Istanbul Business Pulse
- Culture A bridge between East and West. Business is personal, and hospitality (tea/coffee) is a prerequisite.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Aim for calls between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM or 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM. Turkish business culture is highly relational; starting with "Nasılsınız?" (How are you?) and building rapport is essential. Avoid scheduling critical calls late on Friday afternoons.
