This is the case in Denmark. As in the rest of Scandinavia, summer is a time of leisure. It is both difficult and inconsiderate to try to conduct serious business during July and August. Many firms close for extended periods during these two months to allow their employees to take summer vacations. Danes have five weeks of paid vacation per year.
Business hours vary throughout Denmark.
Negotiating The Danes tend to get down to business right away, with a minimum of small talk. Danes are relatively informal. You can introduce yourself to the executive with whom you will meet, rather than expecting the secretary to introduce you. Be prepared to give detailed briefings, since Danes are rather meticulous. Danes are often quite frank in their manner of speaking.
