Globalisation benefits Finland - but it requires greater adaptability
So far, Finland has mainly benefited from globalisation. With enlarged markets, Finland has been able to turn the international division of labour to its advantage. Globalisation will continue to open new opportunities but at the same time it will bring greater challenges in terms of the economy's and society's capacity to adjust. It follows that Finland must continue with measures to improve adaptability.

Finnish Nov GDP up 1.5 pct yr/yr
Finland's gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 1.5 per cent year-on-year and 0.1 per cent month-on-month in November, Statistics Finland (SF) said in a statement Wednesday.
Of the six main sectors, manufacturing and transport declined, with industrial output falling by 1.4 per cent year-on-year.
Boss in trouble?
The pretty secretary came in late for work the third day in a row.
The boss called her into his office and said, "Now look Sharon, I know we had a wild fling for a while, but that's over. I expect you to conduct yourself like any other employee around here.
The boss pressed on, "Who told you you could come and go as you please around here?"
Sharon simply smiled, lit up a cigarette, and while exhaling said, ...."My lawyer."
