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.
Kinshasa Business Pulse
- Culture Developing and informal but with a growing corporate sector. Relationships are key.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Call between 9:30 AM and 12:00 PM for the best response. French is the primary business language; ensure you have a translator or are fluent for technical discussions. Personal relationships and face-to-face (or video) interactions are highly valued over cold emails.
