A Finnish innovator finds new ways to work that earn big returns in a
hard sector.
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 expert
based in New York, considers to be the future. SOL is a Finnish company where
its employees look well in yellow uniforms and produce heavy-duty vacuum
cleaners.
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

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 controlled by everyday and traditional office hours. As work
