A guide to Swedish business culture and behavior

What is business behavior? Why is it important to practice good business behavior? And why is it important for you as a newbie to understand what constitutes as good business behavior in Sweden? Behaving well in business is internationally important but what is considered good business behavior changes between countries and cultures. However, just because you were born in Sweden, doesn’t mean that you know the ins and outs of business behavior.

In fact, many Swedes who have worked in Sweden all their lives are careless with their business behavior. This means that you can benefit hugely from establishing yourself as a professional with a good business behavior. By knowing what is expected of you and maintaining a respectful attitude, you create a good professional reputation in the Swedish labor market – a reputation that will benefit you throughout the rest of your professional career.
