After that, give Freedom Fighters a try. OOOOO, trust me, I pray for a Freedom Fighters 2 every night

I didn't say to bench him now, but he deserved to lose his job after last week.

Republic Commando, good game.

Playing Republic Commando right now, if you liked Freedom Fighters, you'll like this. VERY polished.

Devin Hester is going to start at QB for the Bears next week, calling it. Rex played well under a lot of pressure, which is good to see, but he scares the **** out of me.

Fin! Just putting stuff together in a final package. Again, I REALLY appreciate the help!

thanks

Thanks for the links, very excellent! The only question I can't find that I have left floating around is if "Six Sigma" and/or "ISO 9000" are taught/used in Denmark. If anyone has any ideas, let me know. Again, thanks for your help. 9 out of 15 pages done.

They don't have to be adopted by the US for the paper. The paper is about Denmark, but obviously I would use my own experiences and country as a comparison at times. Though it would be interesting to know if Six Sigma or Kaizen are used in Denmark, have to look around for that.

Trust me, I've had an arse full of Taylor and Deming. Although, things like Six Sigma have over taken philosophies like Kaizen in the US.

All I can see that I might need right now is just a bit more traditions/culture (especially if they can tie into business). I don't need depth, just a name and brief idea behind it, and I can research it myself. Thanks again!

Good morning, wow, thanks for all the info, time to read through it all! Thanks

Seriously, that was perfect! Stuff like Jante's law, "team player" and the insurance/unions especially. I'm firing off some more, but it's late here so I'm going to get 5-6 hours of sleep before I dive into this paper, so no real rush answering anything. Hopefully Lucius can chime in too! I take it people advance past that then? Do they do so frequently (Do you know what I mean by a masters or MBA?)? AKA how is it viewed. Human Resources In North America it's considered the part of the company that generally does stuff like: Hiring, firing, wages, employee evaluations, health care packages, etc. Worker related stuff. Is there a counter part in Denmark? - When business is done internationally in Denmark, what language is used? AKA alot of countries will use French or English for business, even when neither company uses that language as their native language - In terms of technology, any Denmark based businesses you would highlight as examples of being technologically advanced. - Can you expand upon the role of the unions and why they are losing power? - How stable are peoples jobs. Do people hold positions for 30+ years, do they shift around, a mix of the two? Might be hard to answer, but what is "upward mobility" like, aka promotions? - Any insight as to why Denmark doesn't use the Euro? EDIT: - Any current issues/problems/news in terms of business I should know about? - Actually, can you outline how school traditionally goes? Aka, what the grades mean, how may grades?

No problem, thanks anyway

I'd appreciate any help, unfortunately I'm in a bit of a bind in terms of time, as apparently I completely F'ed up my due date on this one (due in almost 24 hours exactly. 10-15 pages). Could be worse, but the "interview" portion is my sticking point.

Overview wise, kinda what I'm looking for: Customs, traditions, manners that might be unique to Denmark or the region in a business setting (or just a formal setting). Aka, Japanese traditionally bow instead of hand shake. Obviously thats extreme, but another example is that in some Arabian countries it's rude to have the bottom of your shoe pointed at someone. How are gifts viewed in the business world there? Can't except them, are they common, etc. How are employees managed, is their HR in most corporations? Is health care provide via employer or government? How are college degrees viewed, masters degrees? Are they considered fairly necessary? Does your company seem to give it's employees power to make decisions? Stuff like that. Really, anything you can think of. I can spin it one way or another.

I mean, working in a corporation. It might do. I'm looking for generalities, so not necessarily anything specific in terms of info. First job or have you worked elsewhere in a business setting?

It's late over there, but when you Denmark people wake up, I'm finding good info on Denmark, so throw me a bone. EDIT: I'll still take what I can get, I need a "interview" I'm not looking for a grand expertise either, might sound harder than it is

Basically, I need to do a paper for a international business class and I have to interview someone who currently is or who has experience working in a business environment in that country. Specifically, "anyone familiar with the work patterns, leadership styles, decision making, and how employees are managed in that country" basically I'm hitting you up for generic customs, business customs, and the business environment. The latter being the most important. In terms of environment, things like job design, leadership (task or people oriented), decision making (top down, bottom up, etc) I can't use a North American country and I am supposed to avoid England & Australia, etc. I'm hoping some of you Northern Europe peeps might helps me out, but I'll take what I can get. Also, I'd need you to be on the boards to answer questions ever couple of hours or so. Any takers?

It's a MMO tho, I don't think you have to worry about the story of the war.

I'm guessing it's set during the war, but we'll see

Will it be pre or post Wash? Tis the real question.

I guess we'll see how it goes

Thanks, I never got it before you posted the picture
