Christchurch Business Pulse
- Culture Hardworking, resilient, and professional. Values "kiwi ingenuity" and community.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal window for calls is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. Like the rest of New Zealand, the vibe is friendly and professional. Resiliency is a key trait here. Be mindful of the time difference; early morning in NZ is late afternoon on the US West Coast. Avoid calling late on Friday.
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.
