4. IKEA STRATEGY
Ikea's forward-thinking strategy made it the top
furniture seller in the world.
Key Points of their Strategy are:
• Solving the worst part of buying furniture.
• Hitting the right demographic. (Resonate with young
people)
• Not expensive, but not too cheap.
• Stores are a destination.
5. INTERNATIONAL STRATEGY
• Increased market size: They are entering to new geographical markets
with their Swedish designed furniture.
• Greater returns on major capital investments: On initial expansion,
IKEA earned greater return from other countries than their home
country. Therefore they explored different markets. Currently they
have identified US, China and Russia as their main markets which
generate better returns.
• Economies of scale: This can be exploited by expanding into markets
that contain homogeneous consumer tastes and do not require much
adaptation, by using standardized products all over the world.
