Curt Nicolin was for many years one of Sweden's most famous and high-profile business leaders. See the conversation between author Anders Johnson and business leaders Antonia Ax:son Johnson and Jan Carlzon about Nicolin that we have produced and recorded in our premises.

As CEO of companies such as STAL, SAS, and ASEA, and as a combative SAF chairman, Curt Nicolin evoked strong feelings on all sides. He would have turned 100 this year, and just in time for the anniversary on March 10, Förlaget Näringslivshistoria is releasing a new biography by Anders Johnson that depicts both the media image of Nicolin and the person behind the mask.

In this conversation with the author and business leaders Antonia Ax:son Johnson and Jan Carlzon, we get a picture of Curt Nicolin's many faces. The program has been produced by the Centrum för Näringslivshistoria and was recorded in our premises.
