Jakarta Business Pulse
- Culture Collectivist and polite. Respect for elders and social harmony (Gotong Royong) is important.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (11:30 AM - 1:30 PM on Fridays).
- Pro Tip Best call window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. On Fridays, avoid calling between 11:30 AM and 1:30 PM due to congregational prayers. Indonesians value "face" and social harmony; avoid being overly blunt or confrontational. Relationship building is a critical first step for any business deal.
Johannesburg Business Pulse
- Culture Fast-paced and competitive. The economic powerhouse of Africa.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Best reached between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM. South African business culture is direct and professional. Be aware of "Load Shedding" (scheduled power outages) which can affect your contact's availability and connectivity; it is a common professional courtesy to check on this.
