Lisbon Business Pulse
- Culture Relationship-based and relaxed. Business often starts with a coffee.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Best reached between 10:30 AM and 12:30 PM or 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Portuguese business culture is highly relational; do not dive straight into the agenda. Spend time on personal greetings and building trust. Punctuality is valued in professional settings but can be slightly fluid.
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.
