Krakow Business Pulse
- Culture Academic, tech-savvy, and professional. A major hub for global service centers and IT.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal window for calls is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. Krakow has a very international and professional tech scene. Use professional titles initially until invited to use first names. Punctuality is highly valued. Clear, logical, and data-driven discussions are standard in this intellectual hub.
Osaka Business Pulse
- Culture Slightly more pragmatic and direct than Tokyo. Known for a entrepreneurial spirit and "Kuidaore" (eat until you drop).
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Best times for calls are 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM - 4:30 PM. Osakans are known for being slightly more informal and direct than people in Tokyo, but standard Japanese business etiquette (punctuality, politeness) still applies strictly. Avoid the 12-1 PM lunch hour.
