You will spend five weeks completing a 5-7 page academic argument in APA style. Each week is devoted to
one phase of the academic writing process:
1. Topic Selection & Beginning Research
2. Pre-Writing & Organization
3. Draft Writing
4. Revision
5. Final Draft
Week 1: Topic Selection & Beginning Research
Select a topic from the list of approved topics that begins on page two of this document. You will be working
with the same topic for the next five weeks. Choose a topic that is interesting but be wary of topics that elicit a
strong emotional response. We will be writing an objective academic paper in third-person perspective, which
may be difficult if you feel too personally connected to the topic.
As you begin to gather research on the topic, start organizing your work into an annotated bibliography. You
will submit your annotated bibliography for grading and feedback at the end of Week 1. You will use a working
thesis statement to guide you. These items may need to be revised before you move forward.
Week 2: Pre-Writing & Organization
After gathering sufficient research, you will begin to build a credible argument about the topic, which may
require revisions to your working thesis statement. You will submit an outline of your academic argument for
grading and feedback at the end of Week 2. The outline may need to be revised before you move forward.
Week 3: Draft Writing
You will utilize your annotated bibliography and outline as tools to write a rough draft essay. The annotated
bibliography provides you with your research notes while the outline guides you through the structure of your
argument. You will submit a rough draft of your academic argument for grading and feedback at the end of
Week 3. You will have time to fully revise your draft over the remaining two weeks of class.
Week 4: Revision
The revision process contains a number of steps that may overlap and repeat. This includes additional research,
more writing, proofreading, editing, and content revision. You must consider and apply the feedback you
received throughout class as you revise your rough draft. You are expected to use Week 4 as an opportunity for
careful and thorough revision.
Week 5: Final Draft
The final week of class will culminate in the submission of your Final Research Paper. This is the final,
complete, error-free version of your academic argument. The final draft is worth 30% of your final grade in this
class.

PSY 638 Final Project Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric
Prompt: For Milestone One of your final project, you will submit a draft of the Problem Identification section of your grant proposal. Think about the professional
environment you will be seeking upon graduation and a potential problem within that professional environment that could be solved through your
recommended program. Some examples of professional settings and grant proposal problems include:
School/Educational Setting
Orchard Middle School has over 50 at-risk students with a reading performance that directly affects their overall self-esteem and negative behavior
issues. The school submitted a grant proposal to support development of a program to help all students with poor reading skills learn to read at grade
level and increase their reading speed, comprehension, and reading attention span and overall sense of worth, esteem, and achievement. Studies have
shown those who do better in school, fare better with stable mental health.
Outpatient Mental Health
The Open Arms Family Center requested a grant in the amount of $250,000 to contribute to the start-up funds for a family homeless shelter and mental
health services. As an innovative, all-inclusive shelter program, the center aimed to provide for 10 families with children under the age of five who are
experiencing homelessness. The center is committed to its mission of decreasing the overall number of homeless families in the Metro Boston area as
well as working to break the cycle of homelessness.
Community Outreach
The purpose of Healthy Tomorrows is to stimulate innovative, community-based programs that employ prevention strategies to promote access to
healthcare for children and their families nationwide. HTPCP funding supports direct-service projects, not research projects. Healthy Tomorrows is
designed to support family-centered initiatives that implement innovative approaches for focusing resources to promote community; define preventive
child health and developmental objectives for vulnerable children and their families, especially those with limited access to quality health services; foster
cooperation among community organizations, agencies, and families; involve pediatricians and other pediatric, child, and adolescent mental health
professionals; build community and statewide partnerships among professionals in health, education, social services, government, and business to
achieve self-sustaining programs to ensure healthy children and families. Healthy Tomorrows requested a grant proposal for $10,000 to conduct a needs
analysis for a meal delivery program to serve its less mobile community members.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed in your milestone assignment:
I. Problem Identification: Research and identify resources for a specific developmental, behavioral, or diagnostic need for children or adolescents in
your community.

Autism is a complicated progressive disability. Researchers think that Autism exhibits itself during the age of 18 to 36 months old. The illness is the effect of a neurological condition that has an influence on natural brain performance, effecting promotion of the individual’s social and communication abilities. A student with an autism disorder will have a problem with non-verbal skills, and difficulty with activities which involve an environment of play and/or joking. They could have uncommon replies to society, connections to items, refusal to accept an adjustment in their daily routines, and severe behavior challenges.
Autism Challenges
I am Interested in understanding Autism behavior challenges to improve classroom management. As a Special Education teacher understanding Autism behaviors can be very beneficial. A projection of 1 in every 68 citizens in the country has various types of autism; boys are more prevalent than girls. Several professionals think that this (ASD) is linked hereditary or through the atmosphere. Studies show in a classroom of 18 or more. Typically, at least two of the classroom children for each one student are diagnosed with (ASD). Children with (ASD) show disruptive behaviors, and many of them have problems like harming self and anger tantrum. Behaviors form anxiety for parents and specialists, because it inconsistent with the development of desired behaviors and communication skills (DSM-5, 2013), and have risks on child himself and others. Findings show after researching over a hundred teachers in a public major school of students who strugglers with ASDs.
Lack of classroom management, and inconsistent strategies played a huge factor in behaviors. An effort to be made by schools to address the teacher’s perception of causes of challenging behavior as it has an influence on their choice of management strategies. Also, the teachers agreed that the behavior was learned,
and could be improved, but they did not often use strategies that are commonly considered to be effective, at least within the fields of ABA and PBS (Baron, Groden, & Lipsitt 2006). Consistency and reinforcement, they are solutions for resolving occurring behaviors, which increase the likelihood that behavior will continue to occur or occur more often (Cooper, Heron, & Heward, 2007).

Also, the teachers agreed that the behavior was learned,
and could be improved, but they did not often use strategies that are commonly considered to be effective, at least within the fields of ABA and PBS (Baron, Groden, & Lipsitt 2006). Consistency and reinforcement, they are solutions for resolving occurring behaviors, which increase the likelihood that behavior will continue to occur or occur more often (Cooper, Heron, & Heward, 2007).

Purpose: To identify a problem or concern that nursing can change and develop a PICO question to guide the change project.
Directions: Use the form below to complete the PICO assignment in Milestone #1. This includes filling in the table with information about your research question and your PICO elements.
Step 1: Identify the problem. What have you noticed in your work or school environment that isn’t achieving the desired patient or learning outcomes? What needs to change in nursing, what can you change with the support of evidence in the literature? Briefly describe the problem or practice issue that you want to research. What is your practice area; clinical, education, or administration?
Step 2: How was the practice issues identified? How did you come to know this was a problem in your clinical practice? Review the listed concerns and check all that apply.
Step 3: What is the scope of the problem? Does this problem affect an individual, population, or an entire institution?
Step 4: Select the key PICO terms for searching the evidence. Clearly define your PICO question. List each element P (problem, population, or problem), I (intervention), C (Comparison with other treatment/current practice), and O (Desired outcome). Is the potential solution something for which you (as nurse or student) can find a solution through evidence research? Look in your book for guidelines to developing your PICO question.
Step 5: What evidence must be gathered? Everyone should have a literature search. However, what other sources of reliable information will be helpful for your particular question?
Step 6: State the search question in narrow, manageable terms. What terms will you use in order to make sure that your search is wide enough to obtain required information but narrow enough to keep it focused? How will you narrow your search if needed?

Workplace violence, especially in psychiatric settings, is a significant issue that impacts both patient and staff safety. It can lead to injuries, high turnover rates among staff, and other problems. Several strategies have been found to help reduce violence, such as conducting risk assessments, providing de-escalation training to staff, implementing rapid response teams, improving nurse-patient ratios, and making environmental design changes. While ensuring complete safety is impossible, healthcare organizations should treat violence prevention as a high priority through implementing evidence-based practices and recommendations.

Assignment 2 Evidence Based PracticeAccording to the Council .docxbobbywlane695641
Assignment 2: Evidence Based Practice
According to the Council on Social Work Education, Competency 4: Engage In Practice-informed Research and Research-informed Practice:
Social workers understand quantitative and qualitative research methods and their respective roles in advancing a science of social work and in evaluating their practice. Social workers know the principles of logic, scientific inquiry, and culturally informed and ethical approaches to building knowledge. Social workers understand that evidence that informs practice derives from multi-disciplinary sources and multiple ways of knowing. They also understand the processes for translating research findings into effective practice. Social workers:
· Use practice experience and theory to inform scientific inquiry and research;
· Apply critical thinking to engage in analysis of quantitative and qualitative research methods and research findings; and
· Use and translate research evidence to inform and improve practice, policy, and service delivery.
This assignment is intended to help students demonstrate the behavioral components of this competency in their field education.

Workplace violence, especially in psychiatric settings, is a significant issue that impacts both patient and staff safety. It can lead to injuries, high turnover rates among staff, and other problems. Several strategies have been found to help reduce violence, such as conducting risk assessments, providing de-escalation training to staff, implementing rapid response teams, improving nurse-patient ratios, and making environmental design changes. While ensuring complete safety is impossible, healthcare organizations should treat violence prevention as a high priority through implementing evidence-based practices and recommendations.

Chapter 14 Theoretical Basis of Community/Public Health Nursing Public health nursing is a community-oriented, population-focused nursing specialty that is based on interpersonal relationships. The unit of care is the community or population rather than the individual, and the goal is to promote healthy communities. The community health nurse has been assigned to count and interview homeless people sleeping in the local park to help in identifying programs to provide food, clothing, shelter, health care, and job training for the population. The community health nurse has to consider the eight principles of public health nursing in community health nursing practice when completing the assignment 1. There are essential characteristics of nursing service when a community is the client. Describe community-oriented, population-focused care, and relationship-based care. What type of care is been completed by the community health nurse who has been assigned to count and interview homeless people sleeping in the local park to help in identifying programs to provide food, clothing, shelter, health care, and job training for the population? 2. The goals of public health nursing, to promote and protect the health of communities, are facilitated by adhering to eight principles identified by the American Nurses Association (2007) for public health nursing practice. The community health nurse has to consider the eight principles of public health nursing in community health nursing practice when completing the assignment with homeless individuals. What are the eight principles? 3. There are numerous models of nursing practice that can be utilized in community health nursing practice. Theories and models of community/public health nursing practice aid the nurse in understanding the rationale behind community-oriented care. What are five of these models of nursing practice with a brief summary of the model?

Being Prepared: Impact of Disaster, Terrorism, and War Many opportunities are available for both student nurses and experienced community health nurses to become involved in emergency preparedness and response efforts. A disaster is any event that causes a level of destruction that exceeds the abilities of the affected community to respond without assistance. Disasters may be caused by natural or man-made/technologic events and may be classified as multiple-casualty incidents or mass-casualty incidents. Student nurses are developing a plan on how to approach the upcoming community-wide disaster drill.
1. What characteristics of disasters, including causation, number of casualties, scope, and intensity, should the student nurses consider?
2. What factors contribute to a community’s potential for experiencing a disaster?
3. What are the four phases of disaster management that must be included in the student nurses planning for the drill?

Some of these tech predictions became
reality, while others never came close or
were only adopted in a limited fashion. And
some — especially in the area of policing —
exceeded expectations. And on the eve of
the year 2000, the world held its collective
breath, anticipating a massively disrup-
tive Y2K computer crash. But that never
happened at all, in large part because
governments prepared for it. Neverthe-
less, Y2K hype changed the way govern-
ments view and secure digital systems.
Rob Atkinson, president of the Information
Technology and Innovation Foundation,
said technological advancement
sometimes can be too fi ckle to predict.
“People tend to overestimate the
rate of technological change,” said
Atkinson, though there are exceptions.
Stephen Goldsmith, director of the
Innovations in Government Program
and Data-Smart City
Solution
s at the
John F. Kennedy School of Govern-
ment at Harvard University, said that
in some areas, technological advance-
ments have exceeded expectations
made in 2000. But governments have
not kept up with the pace of change
to the degree that could assist their
missions even more, he added.
“We still are operating in command
control silos and hierarchical systems
which tamp down the ability to dramati-
cally use the technological changes,”
said Goldsmith.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

8. CASE 6 BUSINESS MODEL AND COMPETITIVE
STRATEGY OF IKEA IN INDIA PC3-15
St. Petersburg in Russia and confirmed its investment and
sourcing plans. IKEA filed its application seeking the Indian
government’s permission to establish 25 stores. The application
also sought permission to engage in import, export, distribu-
tion, marketing, and warehousing and to have standard IKEA
store features such as cafés, restaurants, food marts, nursing
homes, children’s play area, and publications under its brand
name. In the first tranche, the company planned to invest €600
million (Rs. 42 billion) in opening 10 stores, followed by the
remaining €900 million (Rs. 63 billion)28 for setting up 15
more
stores later. However, stating its concerns over sourcing norms,
the company in its statement said, “We will source at least
30 percent of the purchase value of products sold in India from
our direct and indirect supply chain comprising Indian small
industries. In the longer term, however, the mandatory sourcing
of 30 percent of the value of goods sold in India from domestic
small industries remains a challenge.”29
IKEA’s decision to enter India was met with mixed reac-
tions. Although the backers of the reforms opined that this
investment would help modernize the country’s infrastructure
9. and manufacturing and supply chain, the critics said that the
entry of such companies would put millions of small-time
shops out of business. In addition, the country’s GDP growth
was only 5.3 percent during the first quarter of 2012, and there
was a widening trade gap with a current account deficit of
4 percent of GDP, requiring international capital to overcome
the gap. Hence, the pressure on the Indian government to
implement the economic reforms announced earlier that year
continued, but this move faced opposition from critics. Seema
Desai, India analyst for the risk-advisory firm Eurasia Group,
said, “It doesn’t take the pressure off the government; India’s
balance-of-payments situation requires some more reforms for
foreign-direct-investment flows to strengthen.”30 However, it
was still not clear when India would respond to the proposal.
Overcoming Regulatory and Political
Roadblocks
In July 2012, IKEA sought a 10-year window (instead of one
year) to comply with the sourcing rules. IKEA also expressed
concerns that if it procured from MSMEs (firms with a total
investment less than US$1 million), they would soon grow
and become large setups. Then the company would have to
find other MSMEs, which would affect its product quality and
supply-chain setup. There were speculations in the media that
the sourcing clause might be relaxed. On the other hand, indus-
try experts opined that India had laid out a welcome mat for
single-brand retailing, but only theoretically, and opined that a
compromise solution had to be found. Saloni Nangia (Nangia),
president of retail consultancy Technopak, said, “Keeping in
mind IKEA’s stature, I’m sure the government will work out
Nations Development Program and UNICEF on grassroots
development programs such as female empowerment, health
awareness, education, water and sanitation, and industry-based
programs that benefited 100 million women and children.
Ohlsson also proposed doubling production in India. Speaking
10. about the possibility of IKEA setting up its stores in partner-
ship with Indian firms, Ohlsson said, “A joint venture is simply
not an option. IKEA has spent years streamlining costs, mak-
ing investment money go further, and cutting out middlemen.
As a result, introducing a foreign partner into the mix now is
not something that is under consideration.”23
In January 2012, India approved reforms to allow 100
percent FDI in single-brand retail. In welcoming the change,
an IKEA spokesperson said, “The IKEA Group welcomes the
Indian government’s decision to allow 100 percent foreign
direct investment for single-brand retailers. We will now over
the next few days look into the details of the decision and we
expect to present more information shortly about our intention
to establish retail operations. India is long since a strong and
growing purchase market for IKEA.”24 Industry experts were
expecting that IKEA might announce its Indian entry sometime
soon. Ohlsson too welcomed the change but stated that India’s
requirement for foreign single-brand retailers to source 30
percent of goods from local small and medium-sized establish-
ments came in the way of its proceeding with its investment.
IKEA spokeswoman Josefin Thorell (Thorell) said, “India is
still a very interesting potential retail market for the IKEA
Group, but we need to understand what the guidelines will
mean for us. We have found that the conditions applied to local
sourcing from [small and midsize enterprises] might be diffi-
cult for us to live up to.”25 Some other companies and analysts
too voiced the same concern. Abhay Gupta, CEO and founder
of Luxury Connect, a retail consultancy, said, “Companies like
IKEA and Nike have raised concern on the sourcing clause.
Every brand would like to go alone but this is a major bottle-
neck as it is difficult to find expertise among small vendors.
Also, companies will have to go to more suppliers so that they
are less than $1 million. This will create supply chain incon-
sistencies.”26 Arvind Singhal, chairman of Technopak, also
supported the concern and said, “This condition (on sourcing)
11. is highly impractical and illogical. Big brands entering India
would not like to source from SME players as they cannot
match up to the standards of global retailers. We believe that
the government cannot force this condition on brands wishing
to scale up in India.”27 But the Indian government ruled out
any
changes in the local sourcing clause.

industry, and textiles minister, Anand Sharma (Sharma), at

But India is such a strong pull, they will not mind opening
stores without food courts.”34 Other industry experts opined
that a restriction on so many categories was not a good idea.
Harminder Sahni, managing director of Wazir Advisors, said,
“Home improvement is still the bread and butter for IKEA. The
home furnishing category is all about experience. People do
not mind travelling extra to buy IKEA products.”35 The com-
pany also opined that all its product categories were sold across
stores in 44 countries, and it was not demanding anything extra
from India. Replying to the government’s concerns about in-
house cafés, the company opined that because the stores would
be located on the outskirts of the city, there would not be any
displacement of small food retailers. The company wrote to the
Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) stating
that to keep the “IKEA experience” intact, the company must
be allowed to operate its global model.
On January 22, 2013, FIPB cleared IKEA’s business pro-
posal and permitted it to sell non-furniture items and run cafés
in India. Although FIPB permitted food and beverages to be
sold at IKEA’s in-store restaurants/cafés, it restricted the retail-
ing of any food item off the shelf in any other part of the store.
It also said that IKEA could not use its global procurement of
products to satisfy the Indian demand of mandatory sourcing
(30%) from the country. However, India had given a five-year
window (from the time of the company’s initial launch in
the country) to fully comply with the sourcing requirements.
Other conditions included the restriction of e-commerce sales
and used-furniture sales. After FIPB’s clearance, the proposal
was put before the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs
(CCEA) for final approval because the FIPB had the authority
13. to make a decision only on investments less than Rs. 12 billion.
On May 2, 2013, CCEA approved IKEA’s investment proposal.
Maeztu added, “We feel very welcome in India. This is a big
step in our journey to open IKEA stores in India.”36
Working with Suppliers
After the company got the approval to set up its stores in India,
an IKEA spokeswoman, Ylva Magnusson, said, “It will be
another four to five years before Indians can purchase the com-
pany’s iconic flat-pack furniture.”37 IKEA’s planned
investment
was until then the largest by a foreign retailer in India. IKEA’s
spokesperson, Josefin Thorell, said, “The Swedish retailer’s
presence in India will, in a major way, help improve availability
of high quality, low-price products, increase sourcing of goods
from India and increase the competitiveness of Indian enterprise
through access to global designs, technologies, skill develop-
ment, and global best practices.”38 However, the promoter of
something. Meeting the 30% sourcing target will take time—
Ikea just wants some latitude.”31
In September 2012, the Indian government tweaked
its sourcing clause. It changed “mandatory sourcing from
MSMEs” to “preferably from MSMEs” and said that foreign
firms expecting a relaxation in the 30 percent procurement
norms would have to set up a manufacturing facility in India.
After these reforms, the government asked IKEA to revise
and resubmit its application. On October 8, 2012, IKEA
submitted its final paperwork to start its retail operations in
India. The company, in its application, also gave the assur-
ance that the old furniture collected from Indian customers
in exchange for new ones would not be resold in the market
but donated to needy families or third-party small businesses
through charitable organizations. Ohlsson said, “Once our
application is approved we will develop a solid plan for the
14. establishment of IKEA stores for many years to come, gen-
erating investments and new employment. At the same time,
we will continue to increase our sourcing in India from both
existing and new suppliers building on long-term relations
and shared values.”32
A day after it filed the application, IKEA appointed
Juvencio Maeztu (Maeztu) as its country manager for India,
with a responsibility to find the right real estate and hire talent
for its India foray. The outskirts of Indian metropolitan cities
such as Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Chennai
were expected to be its store locations. Maeztu opined that the
Indian market was different in terms of the varied tastes and
said, “So we have to slightly tweak our model with designs and
pricing, keeping in mind the Indian consumers and the dynam-
ics of the retail industry here.”33
On November 20, 2012, India’s Foreign Investment
Promotion Board (FIPB) approved IKEA’s proposal to start
its operations in India. However, it imposed the following
conditions: IKEA should not operate food and beverage outlets
within the store; it should not sell 18 categories of items (of the
30 initially applied categories) such as gift items, home and of-
fice products, apparel, leather products, fabrics, textile goods,
books, toys, travel and lifestyle items, and consumer electron-
ics; it should not sell any products that it did not brand, includ-
ing secondhand furniture. Citing the reason for the conditions,
a government spokesperson said that according to the norms,
a single-brand retailer could not be a marketplace with such a
wide range of products and could not sell food items.
Citing the restrictions, some analysts opined that the com-
pany might have to change its business model. Ankur Bisen,
vice president of retail and consumer products at retail consul-
tancy Technopak Advisors, said, “IKEA is known to open ‘big-
box’ stores (above 200,000 sq. ft.) with a standardized design.
15. So far, they have not tweaked the model anywhere in the world.

CASE 6 BUSINESS MODEL AND COMPETITIVE
STRATEGY OF IKEA IN INDIA PC3-17
Challenges
IKEA lobbied hard with the Indian politicos and bureaucrats
to overcome the initial hurdles and obtain permission to open
its stores in the country with its global model intact. However,
this was only one part of the problem; the company expected to
face more challenges after its entry.
16. A major challenge for the company in establishing its
stores was the availability of retail space and its cost. IKEA
stores in India were unlikely to be smaller than 350,000 square
feet. Some of its biggest stores around the world had an area
of 606,000 square feet. The accommodation of such a huge
area in any mall in India was highly unlikely. Moreover, any
IKEA store had 6–8 unloading bays and 300–400-foot-long
customer vehicle loading bays, with 20-foot high ceilings.45
IKEA’s 2006 initiative of 100 percent renewable energy usage
required its stores to be supplied with either wind power or en-
ergy from solar panels. Its stores in Germany, France, Sweden,
and at forty more places used either power from their own wind
turbines or from solar panels. The possibility of Indian real
estate developers meeting such stringent energy requirements
was also doubtful. IKEA planned to open nine stores in seven
years: two stores each in the National Capital Region (NCR),
Mumbai, and Bangalore, and one store each at Chennai,
Hyderabad, and Pune. Therefore, with the existing space con-
straints, analysts opined that it was more likely for IKEA to opt
for standalone suburban stores. “In India, the cost of real estate
is high, retail space availability is an issue and overall store ef-
ficiency is a big challenge. They can’t cut and paste their global
model here. They have to develop India-specific strategy,”46
said Dutta of Third Eyesight. Other industry players opined
that though IKEA might opt for suburban locations, it would
be difficult to obtain such large chunks of land, and the price
would be high. D. K. Jairath (Jairath), deputy managing direc-
tor of Style Spa, pointed out, “This kind of land tract will only
be available on the city outskirts and IKEA will have to join
hands with land parcel owners if it is keen to acquire such large
land parcels for its use.”47 Experts opined that land acquisition
through public auction through government or through indi-
vidual owners would turn out to be a greater challenge for the
company in acquiring such huge chunks of land.
17. IKEA had started its hiring activities and vendor nego-
tiations to start its operations in India. However, the orga-
nized Indian players—including Landmark’s Home Centre,
Hindware’s Evok, Future Group’s Home Town, Godrej’s
Interio, K. K. Birla’s Style Spa, and others—claimed that they
did not feel threatened by the entry of the ultra big-box retailer
IKEA. Anil S. Mathur, COO of Godrej Interio, said, “There
will be initial euphoria on IKEA’s entry into India. However,
they will have to work hard on getting market share in India.”
a Ludhiana-headquartered home-furnishing unit (an ex-IKEA
supplier) was not too enthusiastic about IKEA’s entry and said,
“IKEA engages in predatory trade practices. In the first year,
they offer excellent margins. In subsequent years, the margins
reduce to a level that turns a unit into an unprofitable
venture.”39
After the approval of its application by the CCEA, Ohlsson,
said while commenting on the development, “This is a very
posi-
tive development. IKEA already sources products from the
coun-
try and will continue to increase our sourcing in India from both
existing and new suppliers, building on long-term relations and
shared values.”40 India had been IKEA’s sourcing destination
for
textiles and carpets for a long time. However, the company was
interested in further tying up with Indian suppliers in the plas-
tics, steel, lighting, and natural fiber categories as well.
Analysts
opined that this investment by IKEA had come at a time when
the
Indian furniture market lacked big brands and was sure to shake
things up for the benefit of the Indian consumer.41
IKEA already had 70 suppliers and 1450 sub-suppliers
18. in India. After the company got clearance from the cabinet, it
invited all its suppliers to its Gurgaon office and discussed its
plans for the future. It focused its discussion on growth and
doubling its sourcing from Indian suppliers. In response to these
developments, IKEA’s Indian suppliers began gearing up to face
the sudden surge in order volumes. For instance, V Ashok Ram
Kumar, managing director of Asian Fabricx, said, “We certainly
need more people when there’s a sudden increase in order
volumes. To beat labor shortage, automation is being focused
on.”42 Some change in the processes was also taken up by the
suppliers. For instance, earlier 80 percent of the yarn was dyed
before weaving into fabric; but now, to reduce costs, most of
the
weaving was done without the yarn being dyed.
Apart from these benefits, analysts expected IKEA’s entry
to have a great impact on the industry as a whole. They
expected
large box retail formats, which would be located on the
outskirts
of big cities, to be introduced and gain popularity with other re-
tailers in India. An increase in the competition between large
box
furniture retailers that had little or no differentiation and a
partial
or total wipe-out of the low-cost imported furniture market was
also expected. However, retailers or brands that maintained
sharp
differentiation in their products and services were expected to
survive the competition. IKEA, since its founding, had played
on
the price sensitivity of the customer and low-cost furniture. The
company’s website stated, “We design the price tag first and
then
develop the product to suit that price.”43 According to Thorell,
“Product developers and designers work directly with suppliers
19. to ensure that creating the low prices starts on the factory
floor.”44

20. model, in India remained a question. However, IKEA still felt
that its prospects were bright in the country and that it was
ready to tweak its model to win over the Indian consumers.
It was tweaking its product range and showrooms and adding
services to accommodate a new culture. In places where people
lived in smaller rooms, it modeled its showrooms smaller.
Ohlsson said, “Most people don’t really know and can hardly
imagine that we visit thousands of homes round every store in
the world every year. We sit down in the kitchen and talk to
them…. That’s the way we try to learn and understand. ‘What
are you annoyed with? What are your frustrations? What would
you like to have? How much can you afford? What are your
alternatives?’”52 In developed markets, IKEA was positioned
as a low-priced product, but in emerging markets like India, it
planned to target its products at the growing middle class that
aspired to an international lifestyle.
In India, the company planned to open 10 stores by 2023
and 15 more in the next phase. The company might also
take into consideration the consumers’ concerns. As Ridhika
Mandavia, a playschool teacher in Mumbai, said, “I’m not sure
if I will want to travel to the end of the city to buy their furni-
ture. Plus I have heard about how you are encouraged to pack
your furniture up and then take it home and set it up yourself,
and that is not something we Indians are used to. So if they
can change that model and help pack and deliver furniture at
no extra cost, it may work.”53 In India, should IKEA consider
building larger stores closer to customers’ homes as it did in
China? Should it do away with the do-it-yourself (DIY) con-
cept altogether in India?
Country Manager Maeztu also acknowledged the chal-
lenge that store locations posed in India. Because the whole
investment was made from internal accruals, Maeztu said, “An
ideal location for us would be 10 acres space (it could be be-
21. tween 5 and 15 acres), close to a highway with good visibility
so it is not three kilometers inside and with public transport
infrastructure. When I talk of public transport, in India it has
to be metro connectivity because you can have a bus stop and
if you are struck in the traffic for two hours then you are not
properly accessible. We are looking to cater to the real middle
class in India. We will never compromise on a good location.
So even if it takes five years to locate a place it is no problem.
The future is much more important for us than 1 to 2 years. My
job or my salary does not depend on how quickly I open stores.
We try to do it right on a long-term basis. We don’t depend on
banks or on investors and we don’t need to show (quick results)
to our investors or banks.”54
As of July 2013, with the approval of the Indian govern-
ment on opening its stores in India, the company was busy
understanding the Indian culture to introduce the best possible
Jairath added, “There is no collision course with IKEA. It will
definitely add competition to the market as IKEA is an ultra
big-box retailer. If it has to survive in India, it will have to play
on the volume metrics. Real estate costs are highly prohibitive
and they will have to create products suited for the Indian cli-
mate and style.”48
Apart from these two main challenges, IKEA was likely to
face many others. Because the stores were likely to be located
in the suburban areas of big cities and customers had to travel
long distances to make purchases from IKEA, A. T. Kearney’s
Mukherjee opined that the company might have to face last-
mile supply chain issues (from IKEA store to home transpor-
tation). People in Western countries had large cars, houses,
and parking lots where folded and packed furniture could be
accommodated, but Indians had compact cars and homes that
would make it difficult for consumers to stock and transport
their products. Moreover, low levels of car ownership and a
22. patchy road network would make it harder for consumers to
shop at IKEA, and the company might feel the need to locate
its stores nearer urban centers, which in turn would increase its
set-up costs and render real estate acquisition more difficult.
Apart from that, IKEA’s do-it-yourself (DIY) concept might
be a hit globally, but people in India preferred readymade fur-
niture or getting it made by their carpenters. Moreover, Indians
expected shop assistants to guide them around the store, and
the lack of such staff would come as a shock to them. Vivek
Iyer, a 38-year-old lawyer from south Delhi, said, “I’d go with
my driver and he could be doing the loading and carrying I
suppose. Then I could get someone in to build it all. But [the]
point of a shop is that someone will be doing that for you, isn’t
it?”49 Analysts opined that IKEA’s DIY model might suffer if
faced with such consumer behavior.
It was felt that IKEA’s anti-corruption policy might prove
to be another hindrance in its growth in India. For instance
in Russia, the company could open only 14 stores in 12
years because of this policy. According to the Transparency
International Corruption Perceptions Index, and the World
Bank’s Ease of Doing Business reports, India ranked 95th and
132nd respectively,50 which indicated that the company might
face difficulties with the Indian bureaucratic setup. However,
analysts opined that the success or failure of the company lay
in the hands of the next generation of customers, whose recep-
tion of the company’s products was unpredictable.
Looking Ahead
According to retail consultancy Technopak Advisors, the
highly fragmented Indian furniture market was expected to
grow from US$10 billion in 2009 to US$15 billion by 2014.51

After a year of lobbying, negotiating with, and convincing the
Indian politicos and bureaucrats, IKEA’s €1.5 billion invest-
ment proposal to set up its stores in India was finally accepted
by the local government on May 2, 2013. However, as of July
2013, Juvencio Maeztu (Maeztu), IKEA’s country manager for
India, found he still had a colossal task ahead of him.
IKEA, the Netherlands-based Swedish company, was the
largest furniture retailer in the world, with a presence in 44
countries around the globe in countries such as the United
States,
the U.K., Russia, the European Union region, Japan, China,
Australia, and so on. However, it did not enter the Indian
market
until 2013, though the company had had a presence in the coun-
try since the 1980s as a sourcing destination for its global
26. stores.
It had even opened its regional procurement office in Gurgaon,
India, in 2007. In 2009, IKEA tried to enter the country to
estab-
lish its stores, but its attempts were thwarted by India’s
stringent
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) regulations. It again applied
for permission for entry in June 2012 after India made some
changes in its FDI rules. However, IKEA had to wait another
year, hitting many roadblocks on the way, before it was able to
obtain the Indian government’s approval to establish its stores.
The company also had to tweak its global store model to fit the
Indian FDI, sourcing outlines, and Indian consumer preferences.
While Maeztu was tasked with tapping the Rs.i 925 billion
Indian furniture and furnishings market, analysts were keenly
wait-
ing to see what strategies the furniture giant would come up
with
to win the highly fragmented, price-sensitive Indian market;
many
Indian middle-class families preferred to have their furniture
cus-
tom-made from small retailers or local carpenters. No two
Indian
homes had the same kind of furniture; Indians in general
showed
more of an affinity for unique woodwork and designs than for
flat
geometric furniture. “Living room in India is different from any
other country—a place for socializing and every activity is
around
the food. In some countries it is the kitchen and in some
countries
living room is used for sleeping,”2 said Maeztu. More important
27. was the fact that the Indian customer did not like the concept of
do-it-yourself (when buyers had to assemble different pieces of
the
product themselves), a key part of IKEA’s globally successful
busi-
ness model. Analysts opined that although the company
managed
to impress the Indian government, getting into the homes of
Indian
consumers would be an entirely different ballgame.
About IKEA
IKEA was a privately held company. It designed and sold
ready-to-assemble furniture, home appliances, and accessories.
From humble beginnings in 1943, the company went on to be-
come the world’s largest furniture retailer by the 2000s.3 In the
financial year 2001, the company earned revenue of €10.4 bil-
lion. (Refer to Exhibit I for IKEA’s growth in revenue.) By
2012, the company’s revenues increased to €27.6 billion with a
net income of €3.202 billion. (Refer to Exhibit II for IKEA’s
income statement.) By August 31, 2012, the IKEA Group had
operations in 44 countries, including 30 service trading offices
in 25 countries, 33 distribution centers, and 11 customer distri-
bution centers. By the same date, the IKEA Group had a total
of 298 stores in 26 countries and employed 139,000 people.4
Globally, the company had doubled its sales to €27.6 billion in
the past decade and further planned to double them again by
2020 and to open 20 to 25 stores a year from 2015.
IKEA was founded in Sweden in 1943 by 17-year-old
Ingvar Kamprad (Kamprad). IKEA was an acronym of Ingvar
Kamprad, Elmtaryd (the farm where he grew up) and Agunnaryd
(his hometown in Småland, South Sweden). The company’s
products were well known for their modern architecture and
eco-friendly designs. In addition, the firm paid attention to cost
control, operational details, and continuous product develop-
28. ment, which allowed it to lower its prices. Instead of selling
pre-
assembled products, the company designed furniture that could
be assembled by the customer. This helped it cut down on costs

was controlled by a five-member executive committee that was
chaired by Kamprad and included his wife and attorney; how-
ever, it was only controlled (not owned) by the Kamprad family.
It did own INGKA Holding BV, a private, for-profit, Dutch
com-
pany that controlled IKEA’s operations.
IKEA’s structure was a complicated array of not-for-profit
and for-profit organizations. It had two main components:
operations and franchising. Operations included the manage-
ment of its stores, the design and manufacture of its furniture,
and purchasing and supply functions, which INGKA Holding
oversaw. As of August 31, 2012, only 30 of the 298 IKEA
stores were run by franchisees; the remaining stores were run
by INGKA Holding.6
The franchising part (trademark and concept) was owned by
a separate Dutch company called Inter IKEA Systems. All IKEA
stores (franchised and those run by INGKA Holding) shared 3
percent of their revenue with Inter IKEA Systems as a franchise
fee. Inter IKEA Systems was owned by Inter IKEA Holding of
Luxembourg, which in turn belonged to Interogo Foundation
in Liechtenstein. This foundation was also controlled by the
Kamprad family. Apart from these holdings, the food joints that
operated in IKEA stores were directly owned by the Kamprad
family and represented a major part of the family income. This
corporate structure allowed Kamprad to maintain tight control
over the operations of INGKA Holding and IKEA stores. (Refer
to Exhibit III for IKEA’s Corporate Structure.)
Going Global
In 1943, after founding IKEA, Kamprad increased his product
range to include pens, wallets, picture frames, table runners,
watches, jewelry, and nylon stockings at reduced prices. He
30. initially made individual sales calls to sell the merchandise.
When his business grew, he advertised in local newspapers and
operated via the mail-order service using the local milk van to
deliver the products to his customers. In 1948, he introduced
furniture into the IKEA range. The furniture was made by local
manufacturers closer to his home. The furniture met with good
response, and Kamprad decided to expand his range. However,
the company’s sales were threatened by the price wars among

and packaging. The company’s website featured around 12,000
products, which represented its entire range.
Corporate Structure
IKEA was structured in such a way as to prevent any kind of
takeover of the company and to protect the Kamprad family
from taxes. Although Kamprad was the founder, he did not tech-
nically own IKEA. He wanted an ownership structure that stood
for independence, long-term approach, and continuity.
Therefore
in 1982, Kamprad created Stichting INGKA Foundation, a non-
profit organization registered in Leiden in the Netherlands. In
1984, Kamprad transferred 100% of IKEA equity as an irrevo-
cable gift to the Foundation. IKEA was privately held by this
Foundation. Its purpose was to hold shares, reinvest in the
IKEA
Group, and to fund charity through it. It also protected IKEA
from family squabbling and its inheritance in whole or part by
the Kamprad family. Kamprad said, “My family will never have
the chance to sell or destroy the company.”5 The foundation

the competitors. Therefore, in 1953, he opened a showroom
in Älmhult, Sweden so that his customers could look at the
furniture before placing an order. This helped the company
because customers chose the products with the best value for
their money. However, the pressure that competitors exerted on
suppliers to boycott IKEA led the company to design its own
35. furniture. When IKEA began exploring the packaging of its fur-
niture, one of the workers disassembled a table to fit it into a
car
for transportation. This led to the invention of flat packs and the
do-it-yourself assembly concept, which became a huge success.
In 1958, the company opened its first IKEA store, Möbel-
IKÉA, in Älmhult, Småland, Sweden, with 6,700 square
meters of home furnishings, the largest furniture display in the
Scandinavian region during those times. In 1960, it added a res-
taurant to the store, which over time became an integral part of
the store concept and layout. However, after this, the company
began looking at markets other than in its home country. In
1963,
the first store outside Sweden was opened in Oslo, Norway.
Later in 1969, it entered Denmark with its store at Copenhagen.
The company then spread out to other parts of Europe in the
1970s. In 1973, it went outside the Scandinavian region and
opened a store in Switzerland, followed by a store in Germany
in
1974. The global expansion of IKEA stores took place at a rapid
pace during the 1970s and 1980s. Stores were soon opened in
other parts of the world, including Japan (1974), Australia and
Hong Kong (1975), Canada (1976), and Singapore (1978). In the
1980s, IKEA further expanded its store network to France and
Spain (1981), Belgium (1984), the United States (1985), the UK
(1987), and Italy (1989), among other areas. It further expanded
into more countries in the 1990s and 2000s. In 1998, it entered
China by setting up a store in Beijing. In 2010, the company
also entered the Latin American region with a store in Santo
Domingo, Dominican Republic. However, the company did not
have much of a presence in the developing countries.
Germany, with 44 stores, was IKEA’s biggest market,
followed by the United States with 37 stores. The IKEA
store at Stockholm Kungens Kurva, Sweden, with an area of
36. 55,200 square meters was the largest in the world, followed
by the stores in Shanghai, China (49,400 m2), Shenyang,
China (47,000 m2), Tianjin, China (45,736 m2), and Berlin
Lichtenberg, Germany (45,000 m2).7 The IKEA store located
in Tempe, Sydney, was the biggest store in the southern hemi-
sphere with an area of 39,000 square meters.8 By the end of
2013, IKEA planned to open its first warehouse in Croatia and
its first shopping center in Vilnius, Lithuania, which would be
the biggest furniture-selling mall in the Baltic states.
Manufacturing and Other Initiatives
Unlike the traditional retail stores, where the customer could di-
rectly go to the needed section, IKEA encouraged its customers
to go through its store in its entirety. Therefore, its stores were
designed in a one-way layout in the counterclockwise direction.
Most of the IKEA stores were very large buildings decorated in
blue and yellow patterns. However, the newer stores used more
glass for functional and aesthetic purposes to give a better
impres-
sion of the product and a better look to the store and to use
more
natural light to reduce energy costs. The stores required
customers
first to go through the display, making note of the required
items,
proceed to the open shelves to make smaller purchases, and then
to the self-serve warehouse to collect the previously noted prod-
ucts. They were then directed to the in-house warehouse or
exter-
nal warehouse to collect the products and make a payment.
All the IKEA products were designed in Sweden but were
largely manufactured in developing countries. The company

In February 2011, IKEA announced its plans for a wind farm
in Dalarna County, Sweden, to achieve the goal of running on
100 percent renewable energy. As of June 2012, IKEA had
17 stores powered by solar panels in the United States, with
20 additional installations in progress.
In 2004 and 2005, IKEA was named as one of the 100 Best
Companies for Working Mothers by Working Mothers maga-
zine. In 2006, it ranked 96 in Fortune’s 100 Best Companies

Canada’s Top 100 Employers by Mediacorp Canada Inc., and
was featured in Maclean’s newsmagazine.11 In addition to
these,
the company received many more awards and recognitions.
Global Furniture Industry
The global furniture industry changed over the years. It was
not restricted to the making of chairs, tables, and beds but had
expanded into the production of a wide range of furniture, fur-
nishings, and designed interiors that spelled style and elegance.
With the world economy developing at a faster rate since the
beginning of the new millennium, the furniture industry wit-
nessed a boom with new markets opening up. Although every
country had a unique style in its furniture design and usage,
globalization, increasing migration, changing lifestyles, and
disposable incomes all contributed to the increased demand for
stylish and quality furniture and, in turn, to the growth of the
38. furniture industry.
Because of the long established production capacity, ad-
vances in science and technology, greater availability of funds,
and management experiences, the traditional furniture-making
countries in the West took up over 70 percent of the global
market. However, developing countries, such as China, the
Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Korea,
Taiwan, India, Poland, and Mexico, were growing and showing
great potential in furniture production. With their newly identi-
fied competitive advantages, these countries took up the re-
maining 30 percent of the world market. The European region,
on the other hand, accounted for about half of the world’s fur-
niture production valued at around €82 billion, with Germany
taking the lead with 27 percent of the total European Union
production, followed by Italy (21.6%), France (13.5%), and the
UK (10.4%).12 Whereas the United States and Canada were the
largest importers at 15 percent purchase of the global produc-
tion, China was the world’s largest exporter, recording exports
of US$38,882 billion in 2011, up by 15.31 percent year-on-year
and accounting for 35.3 percent of global furniture trade.13
By 2015, the global furniture market was expected to
reach US$436.5 billion.14 With a steady improvement in the
economy and living standards, Asia was expected to become
had 50 suppliers, mostly in Europe and Asia. China, Poland,
Italy, and Sweden formed the top production centers for IKEA.
Most of its products were identified by single word names,
which were Scandinavian in origin such as names of places,
men and women, rivers, lakes, flowers, plants, and so on.
“People flock to IKEA stores because of price,”9 said
Debashish Mukherjee, partner and vice president at A. T.
Kearney, a global management consulting firm. For instance,
in China, the company had cut its prices by 60 percent since
39. it entered in 1998. The secret lay in its designing, sourcing,
and packaging. The company’s product developers and de-
signers worked directly with suppliers, and the concept of
do-it- yourself drastically reduced its cost. Devangshu Dutta
(Dutta), chief executive of Third Eyesight, a retail consultancy,
explained, “When they sell flat packs, there are no assembling
costs, no shipment costs and mostly products are sold on cata-
logues, which helps them reduce operational costs and lower
prices. Those flat packs work well with young consumers
whose budgets are normally tight.”10
Most of the IKEA stores included restaurants serving
traditional Swedish food. However, in some countries, a few
varieties of the local cuisine and beverages were served be-
sides the Swedish staples. For instance, the IKEA restaurant
in Austria offered a free refill policy for soft drinks, a practice
that was otherwise unknown in the country. Another important
feature of the IKEA stores was Småland (Swedish for “small
lands”), where parents dropped off their children at a gate to
the playground and picked them up at another gate after shop-
ping. IKEA also launched a loyalty card called IKEA Family,
which was free of charge and could be used to take advantage
of discounts on a special range of IKEA products.
IKEA was involved in various charity and social initia-
tives. The INGKA Foundation was involved in several inter-
national charitable causes such as helping the tsunami victims
in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and India; the cyclone-affected in
Burma; Somali refugees; earthquake victims in Pakistan and
China; donating to schools in Liberia; saving and restoring
forests; and reducing pollution. In September 2005, the IKEA
Social Initiative was formed to manage the company’s social
involvements on a global level. The main partners to IKEA’s
Social Initiative were UNICEF and Save the Children. IKEA
also took a proactive stance on environmental issues and
developed an environmental action plan in 1990, which was
40. adopted in 1992. The company’s environmental measures
included elimination of polyvinylchloride (PVC) from its prod-
ucts and packaging and minimizing the usage of formaldehyde,
chromium, cadmium, lead, PCB, PCP, and Azo pigments.
The company used wood from responsibly managed forests
and stopped providing plastic bags to customers but offered
reusable bags. In August 2008, it created IKEA GreenTech, a
€50 million venture capital fund, to invest in 8 to 10 companies
with a focus on solar panels, alternative light sources, product
materials, energy efficiency, and water saving and purification.

Consultants estimated that with India’s robust economy, spurt
in real estate and housing activity, burgeoning information
41. technology and services, and the Indian middle class aspiring
to better lifestyles, there would be a further boom in the Indian
furniture industry in the near future, the demand mainly com-
ing from the metropolitan cities of the country.
IKEA’S Entry Into India
Retailing accounted for 14 percent of India’s GDP. The indus-
try consisted mostly of small shops with organized retail stores
accounting for only 4 percent of the industry. After liberaliza-
tion in the 1990s, many foreign companies set their sights on
the Indian market. However, until 2011, FDI in multi-brand re-
tail was forbidden by the Indian government and FDI in single-
brand retail was permitted only up to 51 percent. In November
2011, the FDI reforms were announced but, due to opposition
from different political parties and activists, they were kept
on hold. In January 2012, India allowed 100 percent FDI in
single-brand retail on the condition that the retailer should
mandatorily source 30 percent of their goods from India’s mi-
cro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs); 51 percent FDI
was allowed in multi-brand retailing in December 2012. After
the reforms, IKEA, which had been trying for a long time to
expand into the Indian market, applied for permission in June
2012 to invest US$1.9 billion (€1.5 billion or Rs. 105 billion)
and set up 25 retail stores in India in two stages.19
However, this was not IKEA’s first tryst with India. India
had served IKEA as a low-cost sourcing destination since
the 1980s. Every year, the company sourced around US$600
million worth of goods (textiles, rugs, lighting, ceramics, and
carpets) from 70 suppliers and 1,450 sub-suppliers in India.20
In August 2003, when the company was on an expansion drive,
it set up a raw material trading division in India to ensure bet-
ter cost management. Because the yield of cotton (per hectare)
was very low in India (and therefore higher priced), IKEA
sourced cotton from Australia and China where yields were
much higher. This reduced price pressures on its exports from
42. India. The setup in India was its first trading division to offer
the service of raw material sourcing.
Later, in May 2007, IKEA set up an office in Gurgaon in
northern India to carry out market research and initiate talks
with
Indian players for an alliance. IKEA was then planning for an
Indian debut in 2009. IKEA group president and CEO Anders
Dahlvig said, “We will be there eventually, I’m sure. It is a
ques-
tion of how and when. I think it will mostly depend on things
like legislation and infrastructure development.”21 However,
FDI
restrictions and local sourcing conditions prevailing during
those
times. IKEA tried to persuade the Indian government to ease the
FDI rules and seemed hopeful of a breakthrough in 2008, but
the company failed. The company anticipated that the opening
the center for long-term growth of the global furniture market.
According to a study by the World Bank, the organized furni-
ture industry was expected to grow by 20 percent15 a year, and
the demand for luxury furniture was expected to rise in coun-
tries such as China, Russia, Brazil, and India.
Furniture Industry in India
India was home to rich traditional handicrafts and artistic
works in wood. Indian art and design had earned a worldwide
reputation for themselves. The supreme quality, exceptional
designs, and luxurious trends lent elegance to the Indian
furniture segment. However, with the passage of time, the
preferences of the Indian consumer changed, and the furniture
industry too had changed to suit the consumer needs. The
industry produced a wide range of products related to office,
living room, bedroom, kitchen, garden, and school furniture as
well as mattresses, furnishings, upholstery, parts of furniture,
43. and so on, using a wide variety of raw materials such as wood,
rattan, steel, plastic, and metal and, more recently, silver.
Based on the raw material used, the furniture market in
India was regionally concentrated. According to research by
IKON Marketing Consultants, the furniture market in India
was estimated at around Rs. 700 billion in 2010.16 However,
it was considered an unorganized sector because handicraft
production accounted for about 85 percent to 90 percent of
the total furniture production in the country.17 The market was
highly fragmented, and production came from small regional
firms or individual artisans; only 10 percent to 15 percent came
from the organized sector comprising leading manufacturers,
importers, dealers, and distributors. Within the Indian furniture
market, home furniture was the largest segment, accounting for
65 percent of the industry sales, followed by the office segment
with 20 percent and the contract segment taking the remaining
15 percent.18
However, Indian imports of furniture were growing at
a considerable rate, catering to the need of the urban middle
class for stylish homes in compact apartments. Countries such
as Germany, Italy, Korea, Japan, and, recently, China and
Thailand had been major suppliers of furniture to India. With
a promising market potential in place, several international
brands such as Arredo Classic, Art Design Group, B.T.C.
International, Bizzarri, Cantori, Desirée, Girasole, Gold Line,
Presotto, and Reflex were trying to enter the Indian market.
Top domestic companies such as Godrej, BP Ergo, Featherlite,
Hanworth, Style Spa, Zuari, Durian, and Millenium Lifestyles
also had a presence in the industry (refer to Exhibit IV for
the top 10 furniture companies in India). The entry of in-
ternational brands and changing consumer preference led to
the emergence of furniture retailing in India. IKON Marketing

of the Indian sector would take more time and abandoned its ef-
forts to set up stores in India with an investment of €300
million.
However, IKEA could not ignore the Indian furniture and fur-
nishings market. According to some estimates, the market was
Rs. 925 billion22 of which only 7 percent belonged to organized
retail. IKEA made it clear that it would only enter India when
100 percent FDI was allowed.
In the meantime, IKEA continued with its production
and sourcing in India. In September 2010, the company’s
CEO, Mikael Ohlsson (Ohlsson), visited India to ensure that
its suppliers were not employing young children or forcing
people to work in difficult conditions. IKEA had spent millions
of dollars to create sustainable audit and transparency net-
works in India. It also worked in partnership with the United
