The prime minister is nominated by the speaker of the Riksdag after consultations with party leaders and must be approved for office through a vote of the Riksdag. * Ordinary general elections to the Swedish Parliament are held every fourth year. A party must receive at least 4% of the votes in the entire country or 12% in a single electoral district to qualify for any seats in Parliament. * Prominent parties include three non-socialist parties, the Alliance—the Moderate Party (formerly the Conservative Party), the Centre Party, and the Liberal Party—and two socialist parties, the Red-Greens—the Swedish Social Democratic Workers’ Party (SAP; commonly called the Social Democratic...

...heritage and appears to the public to be forever Swedish. It expands its retail stores all over the world including North American, European Middle East and Asian countries but also spreads a kind of its own a highly strong business culture and values with a strong Swedish image to other countries through the establishment of business there. History: IKEA was founded in 1943 in Sweden by Ingvar Kamprad. Kamprad was born in 1926 as the son of a farmer in Småland, a region in southern Sweden. At the age of five Ingvar Kamprad starts selling matches to his nearby neighbors and by the time he is seven, he expands to selling flower seeds, greeting cards, Christmas tree decorations, pencils and ball-point pens. In 1943, at the age of 17, Kamprad became an entrepreneur and created a commercial company called "IKEA." The word IKEA was an acronym of his name and “Ingvar Kamprad” and the address, the name of his farm and village: “Elmtaryd, Agunnaryd”. Company initially sold fish, vegetable seeds, and magazines to customers in his region. Then in 1950 IKEA added furniture and home furnishings to the product line.

Målilla, Düsseldorf, Helsingborg 2007-05-28 Emma Almqvist Barbara Hruzova Kajsa Olsson Abstract The Swedish coffee culture is changing and bringing new business opportunities for multinational coffee shops. Our purpose with this dissertation was to describe the Swedish coffee culture and its changes. We wanted to increase our knowledge about how these changes can make Sweden a more attractive country for coffee shops, like Starbucks, wanting to establish in Sweden. We choose to use a qualitative method with an abductive approach. To gather the primary data we interviewed one barista and sent questionnaires to staff at different big coffee shops in Sweden. The interview questions were made out of five categories of describing culture by Rugman and Hodgetts. These answers and a multiple of articles helped us to describe the coffee culture...

...Master programme in Economic Growth, Innovation and Spatial Dynamics Corporate social responsibility as an organizational innovation: a comparative analysis of its implementation in the institutional frameworks of Sweden and the United Kingdom Klara Simcikova klara.simcikova.111@student.lu.se Abstract: Corporate social responsibility is a management concept originating from the Anglo-Saxon background and associated with the tradition of arm’s length relations between business and institutions in society. However, different institutional systems handle organizational innovations in dissimilar ways, and in the age of globalization, national institutions often interact with global ones. This study discusses how these mechanisms might affect CSR’s implementation in contrasting institutional frameworks – that is, Sweden and the UK, and finds that while explicit CSR seems to have converged, likely due to global pressures for equivalence, on a more fundamental level, domestic institutions remain major actors in influencing what version of CSR will develop. Even though the use of the concept, practices and motivation may appear similar, important differences emerge. CSR in Sweden seems to have a normative justification and an international focus due to the Swedish tradition of corporatist integration whereas in the UK, CSR is justified instrumentally, with a national focus, and is viewed as a complement to or substitute to state action. Key words: Corporate social responsibility,...

Conclusion 17 References 18 1. Introduction The Kingdom of Sweden; IKEA, VOLVO, forests, lakes, snow, democracy, how is it up there? We all know about how well IKEA is doing, and we all know about Zlatan and Abba… but how do we become equally successful? The demands on Human Resource Management is currently increasing as it has been widely discovered and discussed that it directly affects the economic growth. What do we have to think about when we develop our HR department? In this paper we will analyze the institutional context of Sweden and evaluate what impact they have on the decision making of Human Resource management. As students of Economics and Business it is a vital part of our education to go in depth to actually understand and be able to adapt our theoretical skills in a new country. To do this we will consider the government aspect, with political system and political landscape included and its affect in the context of people management practices. Subsequently, the political economic system and its impact will be reviewed, looking at aspects such as welfare distribution, welfare benefits and unemployment. Closely linked to the aforementioned factors are also employment laws, which have a direct impact on the management practices of HR of any company operating in Sweden. The following...
