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.

Shanghai Business Pulse

Culture Highly competitive and fast-paced. Business is often conducted with a mix of modern efficiency and traditional "Guanxi" (relationships).
Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (Nap time is common).
Pro Tip Respect the 12-1 PM lunch and rest window; lights are often dimmed in offices for naps. The best time to call is between 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM. Avoid calling during major public holidays like Golden Week or Lunar New Year, as business comes to a complete halt.
