Personal Details Everywhere
While it’s established that Swedes value their privacy, there’s no need to share your life story with a stranger on the bus.. However, despite this inclination, Swedes’ personal information, including telephone numbers and email addresses, is readily accessible online.
Contrary to practices in other cultures where reaching a CEO requires navigating through layers of administration, secretaries, or personal assistants, Sweden’s “no hierarchy” approach welcomes direct calls to even the most esteemed C.E.O.s. An additional intriguing tidbit is that Sweden holds the distinction of being the world’s first country to possess a telephone number.
