Outside Business HoursSynchronization Context
Syncing between Seoul and Stockholm is challenging due to the 8 hours offset. Teams should prioritize asynchronous communication or specific 'handover' windows.
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.
Stockholm Business Pulse
- Culture Consensus-driven and egalitarian. Values sustainability and innovation.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM. Swedes value consensus and "Lagom" (just the right amount); avoid being overly boastful or pushy. Hierarchy is flat, and decision-making involves everyone. Do not schedule meetings over "Fika" (the essential coffee and cake break).
