Synchronization Context

Syncing between Riga and Seoul is challenging due to the 7 hours offset. Teams should prioritize asynchronous communication or specific 'handover' windows.

Riga Business Pulse

  • Culture Professional, reserved, and values reliability and education. A major Baltic financial and transport hub.
  • Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip Ideal call window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. Latvian business culture is professional and somewhat reserved. Reliability and clear performance are most important. Maintain a steady, professional tone. Punctuality is highly valued. Avoid overly aggressive or "loud" sales tactics.

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.
