This presentation briefly will elaborate how IKEA has adopting Porter's Five Forces and Value Chain Analysis in order to maintain its competitive edges over its rivals in furniture market all over the globe by providing good quality furniture at a lower price tag. Hence by bringing in innovative design, improved functionality, low cost operating expenditures and offering excellent quality at lower prices, IKEA's has proved to be a success.

CONNECT is an EC-funded project offering a new kind of resource, called a Science Action.
It’s a set of activities to integrate a real-life challenge into an existing topic and it ticks lots of boxes:
Engage with a real-life challenge
Know and apply a science concept
Practice an enquiry skill
Understand how science affects their world
Interact with a scientist or engineer ( CONNECT Platform)
Talk about science with family-members

Innovation at IKEA
Redecorating and renovating have become a popular international pastime. In a world facing persistent terrorist alerts and lagging economies, more and more people are opting to stay home and make their homes safe havens. This phenomenon has contributed tremendously to the success of IKEA, the Swedish home furniture giant. In monetary terms alone, that success is measured by sales for the fiscal year ending in 2016 totaling 28.5 billion euros—that’s a lot of furniture!
Much of IKEA’s success can be attributed to its founder, Ingvar Kamprad. Kamprad used graduation money to start IKEA in the small Swedish village where he was born. He started off selling belt buckles, pens, and watches—whatever residents in the small local village of Agunnaryd needed. Eventually Kamprad moved on to selling furniture. One day in 1952, while struggling to fit a large table in a small car, one of Kamprad’s employees came up with the idea that changed the furniture industry forever—he decided to remove the legs. IKEA’s flat-pack and self-assembly methodology was born, and it rocketed the company past the competition. “After that [table] followed a whole series of other self-assembled furniture, and by 1956 the concept was more or less systematized,” writes Kamprad.
Kamprad resigned from his role at IKEA in 2013, and for the seventy years he served at IKEA he was dedicated to maintaining the corporate culture he helped define since the company’s founding in 1943. Despite fabulous wealth he continues to be a simple and frugal man—his idea of a luxury vacation is riding his bike. He is fiercely cost conscious and, even though his personal wealth has been estimated in the billions, he refuses to fly first class. He values human interaction above all, and, even though retired, he still visits IKEA stores regularly to keep tabs on what is going on where the business really happens.
The culture at IKEA is a culture closely connected with Kamprad’s simple Swedish farm roots. It is a culture that strives “to create a better everyday for the many people.” IKEA supports this culture by
· Hiring co-workers (IKEA prefers the word co-workers to employees) who are supportive and work well in teams
· Expecting co-workers to look for innovative, better ways of doing things in every aspect of their work
· Respecting co-workers and their views
· Establishing mutual objectives and working tirelessly to realize them
· Making cost consciousness part of everything they do from improving processes for production to purchasing wisely to traveling cost-effectively
· Avoiding complicated solutions—simplicity is a strong part of the IKEA culture
· Leading by example, so IKEA leaders are expected to pitch in when needed and to create a good working environment
· Believing that a diverse workforce strengthens the company overall

World population is growing continuously with more people living on the Earth than ever before. In 2007, humanity’s total ecological footprint was estimated at 1.5 planet Earths. Resources are becoming increasingly valuable as the Earth is the only source till date and others planets are still to become a viable source of these resources.
Projections estimate that we will need the equivalent of two planets by 2030 to meet our annual demands. The only way, we can reduce our footprint is by producing more with less, and consuming better, wiser and less - the way forward is better and 'frugal' choices!
In this report, we present the trends that encourage better choices; trends in Frugal Innovations, 'Jugaad' and Do-It-Yourself are explored to see how and where we can make our better choices for the future.
We conclude our report with 3 thought provoking future scenarios.

Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.
