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.
Tel Aviv Business Pulse
- Culture Informal, direct, and extremely innovative ("Start-up Nation"). Hierarchy is flat.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The work week is Sunday through Thursday. Do not call on Friday or Saturday (Shabbat). Best times are 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Israelis are famously direct and informal; do not be surprised if people interrupt or speak passionately—it is seen as a sign of engagement, not rudeness.
