Nordicum 1/2007 takes a look at Finland’s biggest cash deal ever, when the Sampo Group sold its banking operations to Denmark’s Danske Bank in November 2006. The question remains as to what Sampo Group will do with the proceeds – more than EUR 4 billion.
Nordicum also introduces some aspects of leadership training like executive coaching and situational leadership.
Nordicum 1/2007 is a special transport and logistics issue, so ports, forwarders, rail, road and shipping companies are covered. Finland and Sweden both have expertise in lifting solutions and manufacturing equipment, so companies in these fields are also introduced. Further, Nordicum has a traditional survey of north German ports and shipping companies operating in the region.

Nordicum 1 2006 focuses on transportation and logistics. The aviation industry has been in turmoil since 2000. Most airlines are still facing financial difficulties – also in the Nordic countries. One of the few successful ones is Finnair. Nordicum interviews Finnair’s new CEO Jukka Hienonen – he does not deny that Finnair will also face restructuring in the near future.
Nordicum also reports on the successful expansion of the Icelandic aviation and maritime sectors, yet we take a critical look at the poor profitability of the airline industry in general.
In our business culture article, we analyse differences between Finns and Swedes.
The transportation and logistics special report provides valuable information about maritime safety, Finnish and German shipping and ports, as well as about warehousing and transit trade to Russia through Finland. ■ Read now ■ Table of contents
