style, and are tidy

overly so, their price range is
ideal

sophisticated showroom and cafeteria
• Long-term competitive advantage stems from
a variety of factors (operational effectiveness,
brand recognition, innovation, a strong
network of suppliers, a wide range of
products, and cost leadership)

IKEA’s market entry strategy
for the Indian market
Adopting the wholly-owned subsidiary
• Able to customize their subsidiaries to
fit their goals, vision, mission, etc.
• Operational routines are easier (cost
control, operational details, continuous
product development, etc.)
• Direct reporting and decision making
• High transparency
• Slowness to establish
• High level of risk
• Possible barriers to diversification
• High level of impact related to losses
• Super taxation
• Complex documentation
• Dependency
• Preemption by competitors
* IKEA has over 30 wholly-owned subsidiary in its final report.

happened?

was frequently very heavy
As families ans living spaces shrink and mobility increases, IKEA
now has a better way to join this developing Indian market that is
compatible with the style of furniture the firm produces
The large corporation also had trouble with DIY label
The company’s furniture is not the cheapest in the country
Families all over India are now
sharing on Instagram and other
platforms how proud they are of
themselves for assembling their
own furniture
One of their best moves was to open
the furniture giant’s first ever online
store in Mumbai in 2019
