Synchronization Context

Syncing between Copenhagen and Tokyo is challenging due to the 8 hours offset. Teams should prioritize asynchronous communication or specific 'handover' windows.

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.

Tokyo Business Pulse

  • Culture Consensus-based and very formal. Respect for hierarchy and "Meishi Kōkan" (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.
