unpretentious Explanation: I thought this could only be used of a person (i.e. a manager talking to a subordinate as an equal). Could a Swedish informant please clarify the concept? |

straightforward Explanation: I had to head for the thesaurus to find this - could this be what they mean? Or that they are a no nonsense, easy to approach type of organisation? If you could supply a little more of the Swedish it would could help others to answer.... |

without prestige-mindedness/humble Explanation: This is not really an anwer, but as a non-member I do not think I can add notes, can I? Anyway, what I think they are trying to say (though more context would be helpful) is that the company puts results first, and do not bother with prestige-mindedness. They are humble and not letting matters of prestige get in the way for good relations. Does that make any sense? |
