Throughout Europe, recruitment tools appear remarkably similar. The tools most used across Europe to recruit executives for a company are: application forms, employment interviews and tests. How these vary across Europe is the purpose of the description found in the article. However, behind the various application forms, the manner in which selection interviews are conducted, and the uses made of certain tests, what emerges is the attachment of these tools to the national cultures from which they issue. It is this variety of these instruments and their modes of use which this article discusses.

Argues that although the four Nordic countries are commonly lumped together, given their historical ties, they show many differences. While all share a deeply rooted love of nature and solitude, the prevailing egalitarianism in these countries manifests itself differently when it comes to management or communication. Finland has the most autocratic management style but Norway, which shares a similar literary tradition has a very participative management style. While unions play an important role in Norway and Sweden, Denmark and Finland avoid collective bargaining and manage less democratically. The adjustments required by a Euromanager to adapt to the Nordic lifestyles are very demanding, requiring corporations to select and filter candidates seriously for any Scandinavian mission. Outlines the main characteristics of the people of the four Nordic countries, both on a personal level and in a work context. Compares and contrasts the management styles of the four countries.

The article describes recruitment tools used in the four main Nordic countries (Finland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark). It tries to compare résumés, covering letters and interviewing techniques used so as to extract what is most valued by each of them. Both junior and senior levels of management need to be aware of the variety of practices described here but it is their decision to tailor their documents to the expectations of the country to which they are applying. In a similar fashion, employers need to be more open-minded as to how recruiters across Europe bear judgment on anyone’s application. The question may also be raised as to who will set the European standards for such documents in the future. But, as résumés in the Nordic countries, as elsewhere, reflect management values, they are bound to differ for some time until a European management style eventually emerges. The specificities of the tools used by Finland, Norway, Denmark and Sweden are studied in detail as well their underlying managerial values.

Management styles differ greatly across Europe although Europeans themselves may not always be aware of it. European executives usually deal with the countries closest to them and more distant countries are not as well known to them, whether linguistically, culturally, or geographically. As Europe 1993 makes executive transfers and recruitment easier than before across the European Community, it seems important to make managers aware of the variety of management styles across Western European countries. European managers frequently know more about American management and even Japanese management than they do about other European management styles. Their lack of understanding about European management styles may inhibit the emergence of a unified European management style in the future. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

... Literatürde; bugüne kadar yapılan çalışmaların birçoğunda, firmaların satış performansları, bireysel olarak satış temsilcilerini odak alarak sonuçlar elde edilmeye çalışılmıştır, ancak diğer etkili olabilecek faktörleri irdelememek çoğunlukla yetersiz sonuçlara sebep vermiştir (Churchill ve arkadaşları, 1985). Diğer yandan, her ne kadar yönetim biçimleri ve kurum kültürü ilişkisi üzerinden satış performanslarını değerlendiren kimi araştırmalar olsa da, satış yöneticilerinin etkisinin, satış performansı üzerindeki etkisi de araştırmalara konu olmamıştır (Tixier, 1994). Yapılan araştırmaların, istenilen sonuçları vermemesinden ötürü, firma yöneticileri ve araştırmacılar bazı durumsal değişkenleri incelemeye başlamışlardır. ...

... In the Nordic countries there is a widespread feeling that employees need to be treated in a socially responsible way (Brewster 2007;Smith et al. 2003). The management of employees is considered more decentralized and democratic, where the organizations are flat and the hierarchical differences between individuals are very small (Tizier 1996), and titles and surnames are used less and less (Andersen 2005). Managers are often required to remain accessible and accountable to their personnel (Smith et al. 2003). ...

The study compares and contrast how CVs are structured, how interviews are conducted and how selection is done to chose the best candidate. ...

... On balance, they suggested that employees who work for similar organisations in relatively similar positions show a degree of cultural convergence in value orientations. Tixier (1995) observed the evolution in styles of management and the reduction of cultural differences between those involved, through an examination of the operation, dynamics, and intermingling of culturally mixed management teams with executives from France, Romania, and Bulgaria, among others. The acquiring of new or distinctive values and behaviours among local managers and employees in CEE was also observed by Cyr and Schneider (1996). ...
