Naples Business Pulse
- Culture Warm, expressive, and deeply relationship-oriented. Business is personal and relational.
- Lunch Break 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 10:30 AM and 12:30 PM. Neapolitans value personal trust and lively interaction. Do not rush into the business agenda; spend time on building rapport. Be expressive and engaging. Respect that the afternoon often starts and ends later than in northern hubs.
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.
