| Résumé: | This study explores how Scandinavian managers perceive themselves as managers.In particular the focus is on how and to what degree they perceive themselvesas Scandinavian managers, i.e. managers working within a cultural(and political) context to which they have to adapt their management style.Scandinavian management as a concept is discussed. It is furthermore proposedthat management in the three Scandinavian countries does not differsignificantly from one another, but differ from that in non-Scandinaviancountries. In oder to obtain a deeper understanding of the conceptScandinavian management, a constructivistic approach was chosen. Based onFocus-group interviews the motives behind the preferred managementstyle were revealed. Two types of motives were identified: an ideological andan instrumental, meaning that one group of managers had a more calculativeapproach, whilst the other had a more voluntaristic one. |
