Lima Business Pulse

  • Culture Professional but values personal rapport. Directness is appreciated but should be polite.
  • Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip The ideal time for calls is 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Peruvians value personal trust and long-term relationships. Traffic in Lima is notoriously bad, so virtual meetings are often preferred. Business is professional but includes a warm, personal element.

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.
