MEET KJELL NORDSTRÖM

Dr. Kjell A. Nordström has 20 years of experience of working with multinational companies and has served as an advisor/consultant to several large multinationals throughout the world. The 2011 Thinkers 50, the biennial ranking of management thinkers, ranked him at number 5 in Europe and among the top 50 in the world and he is one of the few who has been ranked among the 50 for 11 consecutive years.
​

Kjell Nordström has published three books and numerous articles on the internationalization process of firms. The book Funky Business - Talent makes capital dance (co-authored with Jonas Ridderstråle) is a manifesto of what our time requires from business firms and their leaders. Nordströms second book Karaoke Capitalism: Management for Mankind (co-authored with Jonas Ridderstråle) is a new manifesto for how to make it in the world of Karaoke Capitalism.

Nordström and Ridderstråle are rebels with a cause. With their unorthodox combination of academic rigor, forceful logic and funky freethinking they once again re-write the rules for revolutionaries. This is a true work-out for the wits. In March 2004 the authors appeared on CNN's program "Global Office" for a long interview, recorded in Stockholm, on the ideas behind Karaoke Capitalism.

Presenting a manifesto of what is required from organisations and their leaders, he delivers powerful and sharp messages to test your views of business. He challenges the validity of conventional approaches in today's world, yet submits real and alternative strategies for sustainability. His style mirrors his message, unconventional yet valid, dynamic yet noteworthy. He is not your typical business guru; his revolutionary message is delivered in a revolutionary way.

Kjell Nordström has published three books (co-authored with Jonas Ridderstråle) and numerous articles on the internationalization process of firms. His books (Funky Business, Karaoke Capitalism, Funky Business Forever) have been featured on CNN and CNBC and appeared in Fortune, Fast Company, Time Magazine, Financial Times, Paris Match, etc. Funky Business was an international bestseller and was translated into 32 languages. Funky Business Forever, the long awaited update takes a look back on the latter half of the millennium’s first decade and provides evolved thinking and commentary in a way that is truly funky and down to business.

Dr. Nordström holds a doctoral degree in International Business from the Stockholm School of Economics, where he is also an Associate Professor at the Institute of International Business (IIB) and is one of the founders of AMP – the school’s most prestigious management program – which attracts the elite of Scandinavian executives.

SPEAKING TOPICS

Funky Business Funky Business tells us that the new world is different. Forget the old world order. Forget what you knew yesterday. The revolutionary reality is that 1.3 kilograms of brain holds the key to all our futures. Competitive advantage comes from being different. Increasingly, difference comes form the way people think rather than what organizations make. Today, the only thing that makes capital dance is talent. In such times we cannot have business as usual–we need funky business.
Technology, institutions and values are being subverted and overturned. They are the triad, the inter–linked drivers of change, transforming each other and creating a global village of turbulance, tribes and fusion. We are deregulating life for ourselves and our children. Whether you like it or not, we are all condemned to freedom– the freedom to choose.

Karaoke Capitalism: Management for Mankind 
Capitalism has won. There is only one small problem. Is this what we want? Perhaps we should ask ourselves what price we are prepared to pay for prosperity. The opportunities for a richer life and for societies in which people have a genuine chance of realising their dreams have never been greater. It is an entrepreneurs heaven.
The democratic market economy is now the preferred choice. However, global market capitalism is not a political ideology. It is neither good nor bad, neither right nor wrong – it just is. It is a set of principles or rules of the game. For most companies this new reality means that they are both under siege by increasingly powerful customers and held hostage by competent individuals who are free to know, go, do and be. To thrive, organisations need to take on the simultaneous task of taming talent and creating new customers.
Against this backdrop, Dr Nordström will:
  1. Outline an overview of the present socio-economic landscape.
  2. Highlight the key drivers behind this development.
  3. Analyse and discuss the overall implications for business firms.
  4. Doing business in a bazaar – economy.
  5. Provide an overview of how the formation of competitive advantages has changed over time. The art of earning money is truly a moving target.
