Synchronization Context

Riyadh Business Pulse

Culture Formal and traditional. Business hours are influenced by prayer times.
Lunch Break 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM.
Pro Tip The work week is Sunday to Thursday. Call between 10:00 AM and 1:30 PM. Avoid calling during the five daily prayer times (Salat). Business is highly relational and hierarchical; always address senior decision-makers with appropriate respect and titles.

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.
