Copenhagen Business Pulse
- Culture Flat hierarchy and very direct. Values design, green energy, and "Hygge".
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 12:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal call window is 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Danes are famously direct and value their family time; avoid calling after 4:30 PM. The culture is informal and egalitarian; do not worry about titles, but do worry about technical competence and honesty.
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.
