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.
Yangon Business Pulse
- Culture Relationship-heavy and traditional. Business is built on trust and personal rapport.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM. Burmese business culture is highly relational; do not rush into business discussions. Take time for polite greetings and social rapport. Be patient with potential connectivity issues and have a backup messaging option ready.
