Volume 9 takes up the questions -- national, sociolinguistic, strategic, economic and educational -- which arise in relation to the increasing use of English alongside national or vernacular languages, focusing on its use as the language of instruction in Danish Universities. Inevitably, this also makes globalisation a theme of this issue. The dilemmas of the universities, however, have a special character within this wider issue, partly because they are in the frontline of globalisation processes, and partly because they are regarded as having new and enhanced social significance in the post-industrial society. In addition to the academic articles in this issue there is a series of 'position statements' written by some of the major participants in the Danish debate on language policy in the universities. They were invited to state in about 500 words their essential views on the theme. Their contributions give some of the flavour of the argument that has been going on with increasing intensity in Denmark for the past ten years.

Denmark's business culture is known for its "flat hierarchy". This means fewer layers of people to keep an eye on you, which can be refreshing, but it means there are also fewer people around to help if you’re confused or overwhelmed. "How to Work in Denmark" is a guide to working in Denmark for newcomers to the country and recent graduates of Danish universities. It reveals how to write your CV to apply for a job in Denmark, how to prepare for a Danish job interview, and which job benefits you can expect from a Danish company. The book includes tips on Danish business etiquette, such as how to handle a meeting, what to wear to work, and how to handle business gifts in Denmark. You'll also learn how to socialize with your Danish colleagues, how to make sure your spouse gets settled in properly in Denmark and (if you don't have a spouse) whether or not it's a good idea to date one of your co-workers in Denmark. In addition, the book explains what a Danish boss expects from an employee and how to advance your career in Denmark. There are positive aspects to working in Denmark and negative aspects to working in Denmark. This book looks at both sides of Denmark's working culture.
