Synchronization Context

Syncing between Stockholm and Tokyo is challenging due to the 8 hours offset. Teams should prioritize asynchronous communication or specific 'handover' windows.

Stockholm Business Pulse

Culture Consensus-driven and egalitarian. Values sustainability and innovation.
Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
Pro Tip Reach out between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM. Swedes value consensus and "Lagom" (just the right amount); avoid being overly boastful or pushy. Hierarchy is flat, and decision-making involves everyone. Do not schedule meetings over "Fika" (the essential coffee and cake break).

Tokyo Business Pulse

Culture Consensus-based and very formal. Respect for hierarchy and "Meishi Kōkan" (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.
