Synchronization Context

Syncing between Oslo and Seoul is challenging due to the 8 hours offset. Teams should prioritize asynchronous communication or specific 'handover' windows.

Oslo Business Pulse

Culture Values work-life balance and honesty. Informal but professional.
Lunch Break 11:30 AM - 12:15 PM.
Pro Tip Norwegians start their day early; 8:30 AM to 11:00 AM is the best window. The work day often ends early, especially on Fridays or during the summer (sometimes as early as 3:00 PM). Be direct, honest, and avoid any "hard-sell" tactics. Work-life balance is extremely respected.

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.
