7. • “The judges were impressed by the manner in which
Magnusson has created a homogenous, yet localised
company culture across the Baltic Sea Region, which is
enthusiastically embraced by its employees.
• They have considered the intercultural and virtual
components at every stage and level of their expansion –
and leveraged these to a competitive advantage.
• This is clearly reflected in the organisational structure,
internal communication and knowledge sharing practices,
the diverse functional and cultural composition of
management teams, the international secondment
programme and cross-border professional and social
events.
• Dramatically increased cross-office collaboration and new
high-profile international projects are the tangible results of
these initiatives. A great of example of how to leverage
cultural complexity to commercial advantage.”
