In this issue we focus on the comeback of the nordic region - in both management, business, organisation, and entrepreneurship.The Nordic region is back as an inspiration for the rest of the world.The Nordic countries have too long been influenced by American leadership theories and management ideas that don’t necessarily fit the Norse mentality. It represses the region’s natural strengths, observers think, and it for this reason it is high time to (re-)invent and develop a particular New Nordic Way. The restaurant noma did it for food, and now the time has come for companies, organisations and the Nordic countries themselves.
