After almost three centuries of sailing the high seas, the Vikings handed down a huge legacy of wisdom about how to succeed in international trade.

The Vikings’ Guide to Good Business presents the sound advice that people in the North in times of old found most effective in their dealings with others, at home and abroad. These teachings are taken from the King’s Mirror, one of the main works of instruction in medieval Scandinavia.

Complex concepts from the modern business world such as logistics, investment strategies and capital management are found there, but explained in plain language and with great insight and understanding.

Like all true wisdom, these teachings have stood the test of time and can still benefit everyone who accepts them with an open mind.
