Business culture in Medicon Valley
A business meeting in Medicon Valley will start at the scheduled time. Participants are expected to arrive well prepared and on time.
It is relatively easy to get a meeting with top managers in Scandinavia, and meetings are usually efficient – and always confidential. Questions and discussions are very welcome; however, we have a tendency towards making quick decisions, based on majority votes rather than consensus.
Scandinavian business people appear to be direct and informal, just as the dress code may sometimes seem a little relaxed to a foreign businessperson. However, they get down to business right away and are generally both honest and reliable.
Scandinavian companies are characterised by flat, non-authoritarian organisations, which means that employees of all ranks may speak and ask questions at meetings.
