Dear friends and members,
It’s been a great year with many enriching events and valuable networking opportunities. We thank you for your engagement and participation in DABF.
Looking forward – we’ve got high expectations for 2011. Mark your calendars for a fantastic Annual Meeting on April 5th. Danish business icon, Jan Leschly will share his US experience, and the new Danish Ambassador in Washington, Peter Taksoe-Jensen will give his reading on the current US business climate. There’s even more on the agenda, starting with our January 13th Roundtable with Charlotte Sahl-Madsen, Science Minister (waiting-list). And don’t forget to sign up for our next seminar - Insurance coverage and product liability: US vs. Denmark - Understand the differences, risks and trends. It will be presented on February 2nd in Copenhagen and February 3rd in Århus. Keep an eye out for more invitations in January.
To close the year, the DABF team would like to wish you the happiest of holiday seasons and good fortune in 2011.
We’d like to use this newsletter to re-publish our top articles of 2010, for the benefit of our new members, and those of you who may have been too busy to read them the first time around. Good reading.
Thank you,
Einar Dyrhauge, Executive Director

Typical Danish values may prove successful in some management situations. But they can also easily be misinterpreted by US counterparts, and sometimes, adapting typically American behavior may be beneficial. This was one of the conclusions from our seminar on US Business Culture.
Don't fear your competitors.
