Tokyo Business Pulse
- Culture Consensus-based and very formal. Respect for hierarchy and "Meishi KΕkan" (business card exchange) are central.
- Lunch Break Strictly 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The most effective window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Avoid the strictly observed 12-1 PM lunch hour at all costs. Late afternoon calls (4 PM - 5:30 PM) are also acceptable, but ensure you follow formal protocols and hierarchy if multiple stakeholders are on the line.
Vientiane Business Pulse
- Culture Relaxed, polite, and relationship-driven. Business is personal and moves steadily.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM. Laotian business culture is known for being polite and less fast-paced than neighboring hubs. Take time for personal greetings. Hierarchy and social harmony are important. Decisions are often made through consensus over several meetings.
