Synchronization Context

Syncing between Riyadh and Seoul is challenging due to the 6 hours offset. Teams should prioritize asynchronous communication or specific 'handover' windows.

Riyadh Business Pulse

Culture Formal and traditional. Business hours are influenced by prayer times.
Lunch Break 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM.
Pro Tip The work week is Sunday to Thursday. Call between 10:00 AM and 1:30 PM. Avoid calling during the five daily prayer times (Salat). Business is highly relational and hierarchical; always address senior decision-makers with appropriate respect and titles.

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.
