Social Sciences - Medical: Health Care / group theory
Swedish term or phrase: arbetslogik/er
grupper samarbetar sekventiellt och team samarbetar synkront medan den parallella arbetslogiken är en mellanform mellan grupp och team

ett adaptivt växelspel mellan sekventiella, parallella och synkrona arbetslogiker

The direct translation should be work logic or work logics, but it doesn't make sense in English. I don't see work logic listed in any English language sources. Any ideas?

sorry, the first bit of explanation is a bit ambiguous
*parallel work mode* is what can be found in computing
just *work mode* seems to work well in other contexts, not related to computing

Workplace theories (or schools of thought)


Explanation:
My monolingual "Svenska Akademiens ordlista över svenska språket" defines "logik" as "lära om tänkandet." My Norstedt's defines "lära" as "science," "theory" or "theories" -- hence my choice of nouns in the target phrase above. Given that "logik"/"logic" has to do with mental concepts or constructs, "workplace theory/theories" seems like the most logical word choice here.

On second thought, "workplace theory" might work even better in English. It turns out "workplace theory" has turned up 11,900 Google hits, whereas "workplace theories" only produced 449.
