Synchronization Context
Syncing between Berlin and Shenzhen is challenging due to the 7 hours offset. Teams should prioritize asynchronous communication or specific 'handover' windows.
Berlin Business Pulse
- Culture Direct, efficient, and values privacy. Clear separation between work and personal life.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM. Germans value efficiency and direct communication; do not be offended by a lack of small talk. Respect the strict 9-5 (or 8-4) work day. Calling after 6:00 PM or on weekends is considered a major intrusion into private life.
Shenzhen Business Pulse
- Culture Hardware capital of the world. "Shenzhen speed" means ultra-fast prototyping and decision making.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Call between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM for the quickest decisions. This is the fastest-paced city in China; expect your contacts to value speed and efficiency above all else. Avoid the 12-1:30 PM lunch/nap window. Respond to follow-ups immediately to maintain momentum.
