... 24). Its main objective was to challenge the status quo by producing a good product at a low price with the development of innovative and cost-efficient methods. Beginning in 1969, IKEA began to expand its business into additional foreign markets starting with Denmark. IKEA continued to provide its consumers with quality products by utilizing “high-quality materials on the furniture surfaces that were visible and …lower-quality materials on surfaces that were low stress and less visible to the consumer” (Moon, 2008, p. 23). This idea was well received by its consumers and helped IKEA maintain a competitive advantage within the furniture industry. By 1984, IKEA had expanded into 16 different countries with over 167 stores (IKEA Timeline, 1999-2008). IKEA made its debut appearance onto U.S. soil in 1985 with its first store in Philadelphia, PA. From 1997 to 2001, IKEA’s revenue had doubled in the United States from $600 million to $1.27 billion. By 2002, the United States was IKEA’s third largest market and housed 14 of IKEA’s stores (Moon, 2008, p. 27). IKEA’s goal is to have 50 stores in operation in the United States by 2013. SWOT ANALYSIS Strengths • Successful business model – One of the primary strengths of IKEA is in its capability to develop and maintain effective operations management.

...with the launch of a new product can be challenging. Below is a breakdown of the channel strategies, pricing strategies, and environmental factors. In addition, the government and economic factors, innovation and technology, and the demographics of the new product are factored in the plan for the launch. Channel Strategies Most manufacturers do not sell their goods directly to the final consumer. Between the final consumer and the manufacturer stands a group of intermediaries who perform various functions. The intermediaries are referred to as marketing channels, groups of interdependent organizations involved in the process to help make a product or service available for consumption or use, marketing channels (Kotler, & Keller, 2007). Every manufacturer needs a marketing strategy in order to promote their product and make it readily available to the public. So choosing the correct strategy is a critical decision facing management. Apples launch of the new mini iPad will need two channel strategies, one for their domestic market (U.S.A), and one for their international market (Japan). Since the product is new choosing the correct market is crucial for the success of the mini iPad. Apples reputation in their domestic market is one of high brand loyalty. Apple has many brand loyal customers that demand Apple products and choose to purchase Apple products before they go to the store. For this reason a pull strategy is the best route to take concerning the launch of the...

...Problem Statement: By 1996, KONE’s financial condition in Germany had deteriorated compared to previous years. Forecasts were bleak indicating little to no improvement for the near future. KONE business director, Raimo Hatala anticipated the launch of KONE’s latest offering, MonoSpace to improve the company’s financial position. Conversely, as initial test markets began, fears about the product’s ability to master the German market were raised. Hatala contemplated a successful entry strategy that would position the product appropriately and permit the company to leave a durable impression on the German market. Before the launch of MonoSpace in Germany, it was test marketed in select countries. Merely 40 units were sold in France although 300 were expected, even worse, no units were sold in the United Kingdom. The market became saturated; the construction boom terminated abruptly and demand for elevator gear was projected to fall by 15 percent. Competition for new installations was intense, large companies sold their equipment at or below cost to customers. Service contracts were commonly closed with companies that originally installed the equipment. Six major companies dominated the German market in 1995: Schindler, Otis and Thyssen, with KONE placing fourth. 150 small local companies, as well 30 mid-size players comprised the total market share. This resulted in a fragmented market. The largest construction companies controlled 20 percent of the market, while...
