This is part of a case series. This case illustrates the challenges that Dan Tok was facing when he took over as CEO of Skanska CS in Prague, a subsidiary of the Swedish multinational construction conglomerate Skanska AB. Although he was a seasoned executive, he was a total newcomer to the construction business and he was taking over from a man who had been with the company for more than 20 years, 10 of them as CEO. Dan’s objective and mandate from Sweden was to transform and align the practices of the Czech division to the corporate 'no ethical breaches' culture.
