In Sweden, punctuality is very important both when doing business and making social engagements. It follows that you should never be late. If you must be late for any reason it is polite to phone and let someone know. Being late is seen as poor etiquette. Scheduling and planning are sometimes mentioned as part of the Swedish ‘way of life’. Sweden often a great difficulty working with people having a different notion of time. As a general rule spontaneity and improvisation are not the strongest characteristics of Swedes.
