Sole trader

One person sets up and runs the company. The person provides all the capital and has unlimited liability for business debts, even if this means selling personal assets.

Limited company

In a limited company (AmE corporation), the capital is divided into shares, which are held by shareholders. Shareholders have limited liability, but they can vote at the Annual General Meeting to elect the Board of Directors. There are two types of limited company:

1. In a private limited company, all shareholders must agree before any shares can be bought or sold.

2. In a public limited company, shares are bought and sold freely, for example on the stock exchange.

VocabularyUnit Eight Organization

Partnership

A group of people provide the capital, set up the company and manage it together, there are two types of partnership:

1. Partners in an unlimited partnership are like sole traders—if the business fails they are fully liable for all debts, and may even have to sell personal assets.

2. In a limited partnership there can be sleeping partners who do not participate in the management of the company. Sleeping partners have limited liability---in the event of bankruptcy, they only lose their investment, not their personal assets.

are used by the Finnish company, SOL?

Pioneer preaches flexibility while her firm cleans upA Finnish innovator finds new ways to work that

earn big returns in a tough sector. Alan Tillier reports

Smart in yellow uniforms, staff hurry about in Finland’s $60 million-a-year SOL cleaning company carrying laptops and the latest Nokia mobile phones, as well as heavy-duty vacuum cleaners.

it Eigh

t Organ

ization

Reading

This is a company in which people work when they like, and flexibility is being strongly tested. It is one that Dr Joseph Juran, the management guru based in New York, considers to be the future.

SOL’s owner, Liisa Joronen, a slim, Charismatic brunette of 50, back from a 90-mile keep-fit cross-country ski run in Lapland, says that she has thrown out traditional management styles and hierarchies in favour of people motivation and the strict auditing of targets.

it Eigh

t Organ

ization

She has brought fun to the workplace in a nation noted for its engineering innovation, but also for its people’s shyness and introversion. This most extrovert of Scandinavian business leaders sometimes dresses as a sunflower and sings at sales meetings if it will help. The company’s name is from the Spanish for sun, and its sun logo has a curved line turning it into a smile.

The key words around SOL are freedom, trust, goals, responsibility, creativity, joy of working and lifelong learning, Ms Joronen says. People’s creativeness is restricted by routine and traditional office hours. As work becomes more competitive, so we need more flexible, creative and independent people.

Reading

t Organ

To help staff towards independence of mind, Liisa has abolished territorial space, such as individual offices and desks, and organized a communal area similar to a social club. It has a colorful playground, with trees, caged birds and small animals, a nursery, a billiard table, sofas, modern art and kitchen corners.

Staff sit anywhere. There is not a secretary in sight. The boss makes the tea if everyone is on the phone to the field teams. Headquarters can be empty in the day and busy in the evenings and weekends. One headquarters worker, keen to go to midweek tango classes, was switching tasks with a colleague. The person supervising the cleaning of Helsinki’s metro was working from home.

Flying the country Economy Class, Liisa tells 3,500 staff at 25 branches to kill routine before it kills you. At SOL Days, Japanese-style motivation sessions, she has the whole hall dancing, and urges staff: the better you think you are, the better you will become. Half the country sees Liisa as a revolutionary boss, and several television programmes have been devoted to her. The other half thinks she is crazy. From The Times
