New Podcast Episode: Nordic Corporate Governance with Lars Ohnemus
Is the Nordic corporate governance model a lighthouse for European competitiveness — or a regional exception that cannot be scaled?
This question sets the stage for a new episode (in danish) of Rig på Viden, where André Thormann is joined by Lars Ohnemus from the Center for Corporate Governance.
Drawing on new research by Caglar Kaya and Lars Ohnemus, the episode examines whether the Nordic model’s strong performance is driven by transferable governance principles — or by institutional conditions unique to the Nordic countries.
In the episode, the discussion explores ownership structures at the core of the Nordic model, highlighting why long-term, stakeholder-oriented ownership has been particularly effective in supporting stable governance and strategic decision-making. The conversation also briefly addresses the role of taxation within the Nordic model, before placing the Nordic experience in a broader European context by outlining some of the key structural and institutional challenges currently facing the EU.
Listen to the episode and explore what Europe might learn from the Nordic experience.
Please note that the episode is recorded in Danish.
