Auckland Business Pulse
- Culture Relaxed, friendly, and professional. Values "kiwi ingenuity".
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip The "sweet spot" is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. New Zealanders are friendly and informal ("Kiwi style") but expect a high level of professional integrity. Be very mindful of the time difference; early morning in NZ is late afternoon on the US West Coast. Avoid calling late on Friday.
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.
