> IKEA’s Global Strategy
Furniture retailer IKEA is a Swedish company that has transformed itself into a
global organization over the past three decades. Ingvar Kamprad founded the firm
in Sweden in 1943 when he was 17 years old. IKEA originally sold pens, picture
frames, jewelry, and nylon stockings—any product that Kamprad could sell at a low
price. In 1950, IKEA began selling furniture and housewares. In the 1970s, the
company began expanding into Europe and North America. IKEA’s philosophy is to
offer quality, well-designed furnishings at low prices. The company designs “knock-
down” furniture that the customer purchases and then assembles at home. Designs
implement functional, utilitarian, and space-saving features, with a distinctive Scan-
dinavian style.
IKEA Group sales for the fiscal year 2006 totaled 17.3 billion euros, mak-
ing IKEA the largest furniture retailer in the world. Its stores, usually located in
major cities, are mammoth, warehouse-style outlets, with each stocking approxi-
mately 9,500 items, including everything for the home—from sofas to plants to
kitchen utensils.
IKEA is now owned by a Dutch-registered foundation controlled by the Kam-
prad family. Its corporate offices are in the Netherlands, Sweden, and Belgium.

Product development, purchasing, and warehousing are concentrated in Sweden.
Headquarters designs and develops IKEA’s global product line and branding, often
in close collaboration with external suppliers. Approximately 30 percent of the mer-
chandise is made in Asia, and two-thirds in Europe. A few items are sourced in
North America to address the specific needs of that market, but 90 percent of IKEA’s
product line is identical worldwide. Managers at IKEA stores feed market research
back to headquarters in Sweden on sales and customer preferences.
IKEA targets people all over the world, with a focus on families with limited
income and limited living space. This global segment is characterized by liberal-
minded, well-educated, white-collar people—including college students—who care
little about status and view foreign products positively. Targeting a global customer
segment allows IKEA to offer standardized products at uniform prices, a strategy
that minimizes the costs of international operations. IKEA seeks scale economies by
consolidating worldwide design, purchasing, and manufacturing. It distinguishes
itself from conventional furniture makers that s ...

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. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations.

2. THE CHALLENGE
Falling media interest in the catalogue
launch brought a need for revitalising the
Norwegian catalogue launch.
The catalogue launch had become an
event for a chosen few, rather than for the
many.
The catalogue launch has traditionally
communicated the same message to a
great number of target groups. We will try
to create more relevant activities and
messages through customisation and
segmentation.
3. THE CATALOGUE LAUNCH
The catalogue launch was based on the
creative urge of Norwegians in general,
and women especially.
The launch was over 3 days, with a launch
party on day 1, a trade day with a number
of smaller seminars on day 2 and an open
day for the public on day 3.
The trade day included a mum's café, the
seminars quot;creative womenquot; and quot;women's
lifequot; and a special blog seminar for
selected interiors bloggers.
The public open day included an interiors
workshop, interior auction and café.
4. THE BLOG SEMINAR - CONTENT
In Norway there are about 200 active
interiors bloggers. Together these
represent a relatively large and important
network.
IKEA identified the 12 most important
interiors bloggers and issued them a
special invitation to the catalogue launch.
The bloggers were VIP guests at the launch
party and were also actively used with the
media.
5. THE BLOG SEMINAR - CONTENT
During the trade day on day 2, a separate
seminar was organised for the selected
bloggers.
The content of the seminar was simple.
Vampus, Norway's foremost and best
known blogger, gave the bloggers an
introduction in how to work better on their
blogs. IKEA's own trends expert gave a
presentation of the year's news and trends.
Time was also allowed for the bloggers to
exchange experiences. This was
particularly appreciated.
6. RESULTS OF THE BLOG
SEMINAR
IKEA functioned as a facilitator for the most
important Norwegian interiors bloggers to
cement strong bonds between each other -
and with IKEA.
IKEA now has a network of bloggers we
can and will use actively in coming
promotions and activities.
The bloggers act as enthusiastic and
credible ambassadors for IKEA among all
the other active interiors bloggers.
The competence given to the bloggers has
made them even more capable and active.
7. RESULTS OF THE BLOG
SEMINAR
The blog seminar helped to create positive
coverage from around 20 bloggers before,
during and after the event itself.
The blog seminar resulted in 6 large pieces
of media coverage, in addition to coverage
of the catalogue launch alone.
All blog and media coverage presented
IKEA's message in a good, positive way.
