خلفية ثقافية
Punctuality is a form of 'at holde sig til tiden'. Arriving late is seen as disrespectful to the agreement of the meeting time. Danish meetings are highly structured. 'At holde sig til dagsordenen' is expected, and small talk is usually kept to the beginning or end. The concept of 'en aftale er en aftale' (a deal is a deal) is central. Once you have agreed to 'holde dig til' something, it is socially binding.
