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.

Oslo Business Pulse

Culture Values work-life balance and honesty. Informal but professional.
Lunch Break 11:30 AM - 12:15 PM.
Pro Tip Norwegians start their day early; 8:30 AM to 11:00 AM is the best window. The work day often ends early, especially on Fridays or during the summer (sometimes as early as 3:00 PM). Be direct, honest, and avoid any "hard-sell" tactics. Work-life balance is extremely respected.
