Reykjavik Business Pulse
- Culture Informal, egalitarian, and values innovation and work-life balance.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM. Icelandic business culture is very informal and flat; do not worry about titles. Efficiency and honesty are highly valued. Punctuality is appreciated but the vibe is relaxed. Avoid calling late in the afternoon or on weekends strictly.
Tianjin Business Pulse
- Culture Major port city. Practical, industrial, and trade-oriented.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Aim for 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. As a major northern port, business is practical and industrial. Close ties with Beijing mean a similar emphasis on hierarchy and formal protocol. Avoid the 12-1:30 PM lunch break and major public holidays.
