This transformation has denoted that human re- sources have become more and more accentuated, and a consen- sus has grown for the true power embraced within them. In Sweden, some few prominent leaders have distinguished them- selves by being highly successful in reinforcing employee motiva- tion, and their knowledge and experiences are priceless in the pursuit of utilizing the full potential of the workforce. Purpose The purpose with this thesis is to study how ten of Sweden’s most successful and acknowledged leaders view and work with employee motivation and critically examine their standpoints. The purpose is furthermore to exemplify how other leaders can strengthen employee motivation through adapting these motiva- tional suggestions. Method Qualitative cross-sectional interviews were conducted for the empirical research, holding a hermeneutic and inductive research approach.

  • Millicom International Cellular S.A. Tele2 Ab
    MILLICOM INTERNATIONAL CELLULAR S.A. TELE2 AB FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 31, 2001 MILLICOM INTERNATIONAL CELLULAR AND TELE2 AB CONFIRM DISCUSSIONS REGARDING THE POSSIBLE SALE OF MILLICOM’S RUSSIAN ASSETS TO TELE2 New York, Stockholm and Luxembourg – October 31, 2001 – Millicom International Cellular S.A (“MIC”) (Nasdaq Stock Market: MICC) and Tele2 AB (“Tele2”) (Nasdaq Stock Market: TLTOA and TLTOB and Stockhomsbörsen: TEL2A and TEL2B) today confirm, in response to questions raised by investors, that discussions between Tele2 AB and MIC are ongoing regarding the possible sale of MIC’s Russian cellular telephony assets to Tele2. MIC sold its cellular telephony business in Estonia to Tele2 in 1998. During these negotiations the two parties discussed the sale of MIC’s Russian assets but, at that time, decided not to proceed as Tele2 wished first to focus on building its Baltic operations. Tele2’s investment in the Baltics has been very successful and now the possible expansion into Russia is a logical step, which would bring a total of 124,000 proportional subscribers. Lars-Johan Jarnheimer, CEO of Tele2 AB said: “It is no secret that our Scandinavian competitors have made clear their intentions to develop mobile businesses in Russia to leverage on the increasing opportunities in this market, Telia combining with Sonera and Telenor through Vimpelcom. We believe that the opportunity to purchase MIC’s Russian assets is a natural step in order to establish our position in this growth market following on from our successes in the Baltics.” MIC and Tele2 have appointed Bank of America and Carnegie respectively as advisors.
