London Business Pulse
- Culture London business culture is generally formal but collaborative. "Flexi-Fridays" are common in the summer.
- Lunch Break Typically 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Avoid calling after 4:30 PM on Fridays as many offices wind down early for the weekend. Mid-week (Tuesday to Thursday) between 10 AM and 4 PM is the "Golden Window" for reaching decision-makers. Always start with a brief polite inquiry about their day before diving into business.
Taipei Business Pulse
- Culture High-tech and efficient. Values both modern innovation and traditional professional respect.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Best reached between 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM. Taipei is a major global tech hub; expect high professional standards and efficiency. Hierarchy is respected, but the culture is increasingly globalized. Avoid the strictly observed 12-1:30 PM lunch and rest window.
