Muscat Business Pulse
- Culture Formal, polite, and relationship-driven. Business is personal and steady.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 9:30 AM and 12:30 PM. Omanis are known for being exceptionally polite and professional. Relationship building is a critical first step. The work week is Sunday through Thursday. Avoid calling during daily prayer times and during the mid-day heat break.
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.
