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.

Tbilisi Business Pulse

  • Culture Hospitality-focused, relational, and values personal trust and social networking.
  • Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM.
  • Pro Tip Best reached between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM. Georgian business is deeply rooted in personal relationships and hospitality. Spend time on personal greetings and rapport building. If on a video call, expect a warm and engaged atmosphere. Personal referrals are the most effective doors.

  2. Inspect the overlap band. Use the dashboard slider to test the 13:00 to 17:00 Shanghai window before you promise a recurring slot.
  3. Rotate the compromise. If one city keeps taking the early or late edge, rotate the recurring slot instead of freezing the burden in one direction.
