Synchronization Context

Reykjavik Business Pulse

Culture Informal, egalitarian, and values innovation and work-life balance.
Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
Pro Tip Reach out between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM. Icelandic business culture is very informal and flat; do not worry about titles. Efficiency and honesty are highly valued. Punctuality is appreciated but the vibe is relaxed. Avoid calling late in the afternoon or on weekends strictly.

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.
