Milan Business Pulse
- Culture The fashion and finance capital of Italy. Sophisticated, fast-paced, and highly professional.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Aim for 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM for the most productive discussions. Milanese business culture is more fast-paced and direct than in Rome, but personal rapport is still vital. Punctuality and professional presentation are highly valued in this stylish global hub.
Tokyo Business Pulse
- Culture Consensus-based and very formal. Respect for hierarchy and "Meishi KΕkan" (business card exchange) are central.
- Lunch Break Strictly 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The most effective window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Avoid the strictly observed 12-1 PM lunch hour at all costs. Late afternoon calls (4 PM - 5:30 PM) are also acceptable, but ensure you follow formal protocols and hierarchy if multiple stakeholders are on the line.
