Synchronization Context
Syncing between Prague and Tokyo is challenging due to the 8 hours offset. Teams should prioritize asynchronous communication or specific 'handover' windows.
Prague Business Pulse
- Culture Formal but becoming more modern and tech-savvy. Values directness.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal window for calls is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. While Czech business can be formal initially, the growing tech sector is more modern and informal. Use professional titles until invited to use first names. Direct, honest communication is preferred over overly optimistic sales pitches.
Tokyo Business Pulse
- Culture Consensus-based and very formal. Respect for hierarchy and "Meishi KΕkan" (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.
