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.

Munich Business Pulse

  • Culture Efficient, formal, and values quality. Strong focus on engineering and tech.
  • Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip The "Golden Window" is 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Bavarian business culture is formal and values high-quality engineering and precision. Be very well-prepared with technical details. Respect the local 8-4 or 9-5 workday strictly; calling after 5:30 PM is generally unprofessional.
