The growth in employment and the economy translates into a huge demand for managers and consultants. Additionally, as the business environment becomes more complex, Norwegian firms and international companies located in Norway increasingly rely on management consultants to help them stay competitive. General managers and top executives are needed to plan, organize, direct, control and coordinate the operations of an organization and its major departments or programs. Many work in large metropolitan areas, are self-employed, or work for financial and management consulting firms.

Many opportunities for executives arise when other executives transfer to new positions, start their own businesses or retire.

Projected employment growth of general managers and top executives varies widely among industries.

This is just a sample of what you'll find in the complete Norway guide.
