Helsinki Business Pulse

Culture Extremely direct, honest, and values silence and deep focus.
Lunch Break 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM.
Pro Tip Best reached between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM. Finns are remarkably direct and honest; do not waste time with small talk. Silence in meetings is a sign of thinking and respect—do not rush to fill it. Honesty and reliability are the most important business values.

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.
