| Abstract: | This research paper examines how a more lateral style of working, such as the Swedish model of management that reflects a more linear manner of managing organizational knowledge, is carried over and transferred to Swedish managed organizations in Singapore. The study bases on interviews with 33 top-level managers (23 Scandinavians and ten Asians) who worked in Swedish managed organizations in Singapore. The Swedish style of handling information and knowledge within the organization has been found more open, flexible and accessible than Singaporeans might initially expect or understand. |
