Sweden’s economy has several distinctive features which, in resemblance to the bumblebee, should prevent it from flying. And yet, it actually flies better than most countries, all things considered. In this book economist journalist David Crouch has studied how Sweden’s economy works and how the new Swedish model has evolved. The welfare system, the role of the unions, paternity leave, the role of women in the labor market and immigration are some of the topics covered. The book is based on interviews with a large number of business leaders and decision makers, who all have played an active role in the Swedish bumlebee’s successful flight.

Born globals är företag som från start har siktet inställt på världsmarknaden. De har på senare år pekats ut som viktiga för Sveriges framtida tillväxt och jobbskapande. Den här rapporten undersöker svenska born globals inom tillverkning, handel och tjänstesektorn under 2000­-talet, och hur deras utveckling skiljer sig från andra företags. En slutsats är att tilltron till born globals som jobbskapare är för stor. Studien är genomförd av professor Magnus Henrekson, ekon.dr. Shon Ferguson och fil. lic. doktorand Louise Johannesson vid Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN).

The ability to create an intrapreneurial climate that favors innovation and renewal is central to a company’s continued success. Despite this fact, little research has been done within the area of intrapreneurship and our knowledge about the intrapreneur is low. The Intrapreneurship Compass demystifies the intrapreneur in Swedish companies and reveals how the intrapreneurial climate can be improved to unleash the growth potential. The report is written by professor Ivo Zander, Dr. Katarina Blomkvist and Dr. Philip Kappen.

Over the past decades, Swedish as well as international stock exchanges have undergone a complete change, transforming from national, semi-public markets into company-driven, privatized and global businesses. For the Stockholm Stock Exchange (Stockholmsbörsen), this transformation was particularly dramatic since a monopoly business over the course of a few years was replaced by a privately–owned business that actively sought to acquire other stock exchanges in the international market. This book describes and analyzes the development and transformation of the Stockholm Stock Exchange from the mid-1960s until the beginning of the 2010s.
