The Scandinavian Model

Course title: The Scandinavian Model
Dates will be announced soon

The Scandinavian Model is especially based on a Protestant work ethic and devotion to duty.
Denmark is a relatively small, tribal nation of only 5 million people. It has a tradition of social equality, and the effects of this are seen in both politics and business life. Thanks to the country's tribal nature, the Danes are apt to share, implicitly, the goals and means of their government and their superiors in industry. Bribery and corruption are seldom seen.

The Danes have also embraced labour flexibility, or what they call "flexicurity" This Third Way trade-off gives employers the right to hire and fire easily, while the state guarantees a good wage and retraining for those who are fired. The Nordic model apparently manages to combine generous welfare benefits with flexible labour markets, which results in low levels of unemployment.
This course identifies the characteristics of the “Scandinavian Model” and attempts to offer explanations for its relative success.

Students are specifically offered:
 

  • Knowledge and understanding of business theories and methods applied in Scandinavia
  • Awareness of the management functions of a modern Danish company and the external conditions under which it operates
  • Understanding of the present situation and future trends in business in Scandinavia
  • A challenging but supportive environment in which personal responsibility for learning, initiative, motivation and commitment are positively encouraged
  • The opportunity to acquire the skills and knowledge which will further enhance their value both as future employees and active members of their community
  • Understanding of different cultures, values and norms, enabling them to operate appropriately and effectively in different cultural and social settings
