Meetings

For meetings, one must be on time. Being late is looked down upon heavily.
There is usually not much time allotted for small talk.
Norwegians believe that everyone’s opinion/thoughts should be heard in a meeting. This sometimes results in lengthier meeting and longer discussion around issues that may have already been resolved.
Periods of silence are common in conversation, it is best to not try and fill in the gaps.
It is considered rude to interrupt someone while they are speaking.
If you realize you will be more than 10 minutes late for a meeting or dinner invitation, you should phone with an apology and explanation, saying when you expect to arrive.
