Tokyo Business Pulse
- Culture Consensus-based and very formal. Respect for hierarchy and "Meishi KΕkan" (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.
Warsaw Business Pulse
- Culture Hardworking, formal, and values education. Rapidly growing tech sector.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM. Polish business culture is generally formal and conservative in the initial stages. Use formal titles (Pan/Pani) until you are invited to use first names. Punctuality is highly valued, and the tech sector is extremely professional.
