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.
Seoul Business Pulse
- Culture Extremely hardworking and hierarchical. "Pali-pali" (hurry-hurry) culture drives rapid growth.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The ideal window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. South Koreans value speed ("Pali-pali") and expect rapid responses. Avoid the 12-1 PM lunch hour strictly. Ensure you follow hierarchical protocols if senior leaders are present, and never arrive (digitally or in-person) late for a call.
