Abidjan Business Pulse

Culture Formal, relationship-heavy, and the economic powerhouse of French-speaking West Africa.
Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
Pro Tip Best call window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. French is the primary business language; ensure you are fluent or have translation for technical talks. Personal relationships are vital. Hierarchy is respected, and a professional, polite tone is essential for success.

Beijing Business Pulse

Culture Hierarchical and focused on long-term strategy. Government relations often influence business timing.
Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
Pro Tip Call between 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM or 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM. Ensure your communication follows hierarchical lines—always address the most senior person first. Like Shanghai, avoid calling during the 12-1:30 PM lunch/nap window and major national holidays.
