At the core of all organization workings are people. Their ability to effectively communicate and cooperate with each other contributes to the return of investment for the organizations, and is of critical importance for the quality of life for all involved. What we know, feel and think is reflected in our use of language. By a careful study of our language in use, it is possible to spot problems perhaps long before they have reached a conscious level. This is what I do.

During my research on the Swedish Management style as applied in Singapore, I had the pleasure to meet with numerous Scandinavian top-level managers successfully living and working in Asia. They all had a story to tell. During long interviews, they shared their experiences and insights with me which I have analyzed in detail, and the method of analysis with its subsequent findings have been presented in my Doctoral Thesis, which you are welcome to download for free here in pdf format.

These insights and experiences are interesting and beneficial for others who are, or might soon find themselves in a similar position abroad. At top management level, a single individual can make or break the efficiency and cost returns at an entire organization. Thus the selection and training of those who are going to be asked to take on this responsibility is of critical importance.

The purpose of this web site is to offer the method, findings and results of my research which is based on a linguistic framework applied to business management studies. The framework and model is applicable within Human Resource and International Management.

Please feel free to e-mail me if you have any queries. I offer executive consultations, seminars or open courses in specifically Swedish International Management as applied in Asia.
