The Secrets of Denmark as a Very Competitive Industrial Nation

Seminar arranged by CBS Executive.

How do you prepare to take on the role as top leader in the global business world?

That Denmark has one of the world’s highest tax burdens, shortest working weeks and most generous annual holiday entitlements are widely known facts.Other unusual features include the exceptionally high degree of unionization and the obligatory inclusion of employees on company boards, are well known outside a country that is also renowned for its lack of natural resources and its inhospitable climate.

Overlooked Secrets to Success

However, the fact that Denmark is an extremely competitive industrial nation that has spawned a host of the world’s leading companies, is frequently overlooked.

Waldemar Schmidt will, during this special event, offer invaluable insight into a group of Danish companies that, despite the great diversity in size and sector, all share one common denominator – they are all absolutely outstanding in their individual fields.
