Sweden is separated from the continent by its peninsula situation. The advent of the Oresund link in the year 2000 is going to be a historic event that represents a major step in the integration of Scandinavia into the EU. For the first time, Sweden will be linked directly by land to the continental Europe. The new fixed link will have various effects in the region, including impacts on the transport logistics related to the carriage of goods from and to Sweden. It would appear that one of the main beneficiaries of the fixed link would be the railway if efforts are made to develop the European railway network. In particular, this will comprise transport over medium and long-distance. Besides rail transport, road transport on short distances is also expected to be the main user of the Oresund link, taking advantage of the 24-hour opening of the bridge. iv On long distances to the continent, ferry lines via Trelleborg remain the most advantageous routes for road transport as the crossing time is taken as a rest period for the driver. The main airports in the Oresund region, Kastrup and Sturup airports will benefit from the new fixed link which will connect these airports to the road and rail network on both sides of the Sound. KEYWORDS: Oresund Fixed-link, Transport modes, Logistics, Efficiency, Economic impact. v TABLE OF CONTENTS Declaration ii Acknowledgements iii Abstract iv Table of contents vi List of Tables ix List of Figures x List of Abbreviations xi 1 Introduction 1 1.1.

Nowadays, coming to the 21st century, civilisations are very diverse, dragging ideas from each other, which enlarges the importance of undertakings that facilitate communication between places and groups of people. Although communication has expanded into many spheres, such as electronic, digital, and wireless transfer of data, trade is paramount because it relates to tangible products that can be transferred and interchanged from one location to the other, giving to a country what other may produce better, increasing options of purchase, commercial interchange, flow of foreign currency, and by consequence, better standards of living.

  • The Swedish Economy Showed a Relatively Robust Performance in The
    2.27. SWEDEN The Swedish economy showed a relatively robust performance in the first quarter of 2020, in spite of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering a sharp deterioration in economic activity from mid-March onwards. Real GDP grew 0.1% q-o-q in the first quarter, mainly due to positive net exports. Even though only some restrictions were put in place to counter the spread of the disease, both the demand and supply side of the economy took a hit. While the rather less restrictive measures helped cushion the immediate impact on the economy, particularly on domestically oriented branches, exporting industries experienced strong declines in output as cross-borders value chains were disrupted. Durable consumer goods, travel services and capital goods-producing sectors were particularly affected. Real GDP is expected to show a sharp fall in the second quarter of 2020, with a recovery following in the second half of the year. The uncertain outlook for demand and lower capacity utilisation should lead to a sharp decline in capital formation this year. Equipment investment is also expected to suffer, as it is the investment category that reacts most strongly to the business cycle. Private consumption decreases follow on from substantial job losses and uncertainty, as well as the impact of restrictions. The sharp fall in economic activity forecast in Sweden’s main trading partners is expected to translate into a large decline in exports. Economic growth is set to turn positive in 2021 as impediments slowly dissipate and the economies of major trading partners recover. A return to work should foster a bounce back in consumption growth in 2021.

  • Different Countries – Different Cultures Germany Vs Sweden
    Avdelningen för ekonomi Different Countries – Different Cultures Germany vs Sweden Cecilia Jensen och Changiz Saadat Beheshti December 2012 Examensarbete 15 hp C-nivå Examensarbete Akmal Hyder/Lars Ekstrand 1 ABSTRACT Title: Different countries – different cultures Level: Thesis for Bachelor Degree in Business Administration Authors: Cecilia Jensen and Changiz Saadat Behesthi Supervisor: Lars Ekstrand Date: 2011 – 12 Our study is based on two countries, Sweden and Germany, and is aiming to find out if the cultural differences between the two countries have a major impact when doing business together or not. Cross-cultural management is a modern topic and can help transnational companies deal with problems that occur due to different cultures in the organization, but is it really necessary to spend huge amount on intercultural training? We used a qualitative method and did a survey through a convenience sampling among six managers in the two countries. We analyzed the answers sorted by country and then compared them to each other. The result of the survey was that Swedish managers inform and include their staff in decisions to a bigger extend than German managers. Other than the preferences of a more democratic leadership the differences were, according to us, insignificant to perform any cultural training between the two countries. For further studies we suggest a deeper research method with a field study at every workplace, to conclude that the manager‟s answers concurred to the actual outcome. We also think that interviewing more managers, and within the same branch, would increase the creditability of the study. The result indicates that the money spent on intercultural training between Sweden and Germany is quite unnecessary and that the differences are smoothing out.
