...Kathryn England Brenna O’Regan John Hudson IKEA’s Global Strategy: Furnishing the World IKEA is a privately-owned international furniture manufacturer known for its low prices and unique style. The company’s vision is to create a better everyday life for its customers by offering a great selection of well-designed, practical home furnishings. Since IKEA has chosen this sort of affordable and distinctive marketing strategy, the company has been very successful in its expansion throughout the world. In 1943, Ingvar Kamprad founded what is now known as IKEA in Almhult, Smaland, Sweden (Johansson, J.K. (2006) p. 85). Initially, the company sold such items as pens, wallets, picture frames, table runners, jewelry, etc., anything that Kamprad thought there was a need for (“IKEA” n.d.). Then, in 1947, furniture was added to their product selection, followed by personally designed pieces in the year of 1955 (“IKEA” n.d.). IKEA is also greatly known for its concept of selling disassembled furniture. Using this sort of strategy, in turn, has considerably reduced costs and their use of packaging, creating another great advantage for the company (“IKEA” n.d.). IKEA continues to use the same warehouse store design and layout as it has in the past. This design consists of “knockdown” inventory kits being stacked on large racks throughout the store, with an assembled version available for display (Johansson, J.K. (2006) p.85). Having their items packaged and stored in...

...fall; department stores had a better month but household good retailers registered a second monthly decline suggesting we may be seeing renewed caution/restraint from consumers big ticket discretionary spending. Small ticket categories continue to hold up comparatively well. • The wedge between mining and non-mining states is widening with retail sales down 0.6%mth in NSW and 0.4%mth in Vic – both states having recorded four monthly declines in the last six months. In contrast, Qld and WA continue to record solid 1%+ gains. • Notwithstanding areas of strength – the resource states and some small-ticket discretionary categories – the overall picture remains decidedly soft. Even allowing for the 'extenuating circumstances' affecting retail – online competition in particular - the message appears to be of subdued consumer demand that at the very least has extended the soft Q4 result into 2012 and may even be seeing a further weakening. Retail sales posted another disappointing month in February, albeit one that was in line with expectations. Total retail sales rose 0.2%mth to be up 2%yr. That followed a 0.3% gain January. While the two months is an improvement on the flat finish to 2011, trend sales growth continues to moderate and is now tracking at just 0.1%mth, an annualised pace of 0.9%yr. With population growth at around 1.5%yr and retail price inflation running at 1.5%yr in trend terms, the pace...

...UNIT – 1 / ADVERTISING Advertising Literal meaning of Advertising: Advertising was originated from a Latin term ―advertire‖ which means ―to turn to.‖ The dictionary meaning of the term advertising is ―to give public notice or to announce publicly.‖ Definition of Advertising: The American Marketing Association has defined Advertising as ―any paid form of non-personal presentation and promotion of goods, services or ideas by an identified sponsor.‖ Elaboration of the above definition: First advertising is ―paid for‖ that means it involves commercial transaction. Secondly advertising is ―non-personal‖ that means it is directed towards a mass audience not directed towards any individual as it is in the case of personal selling. Finally advertising is identifiable with its sponsoring authority or advertiser. It discloses or identifies the source of opinions and ideas, it presents.

...CHAPTER- 1 1.1: INTRODUCTION The word 'business' is actually derived from the idea of 'busy-ness'. This idea accurately describes most organizations: they are busy organizing resources, producing, selling, managing people and keeping track of finances. The people running the business have to organize people, money, materials and machines to produce a good or service to sell or give to their customers. Organisations: Since the dawn of time, civilized man has designed and built facilities in which to present great ideas. The Concept Organization manages ideas with the same monumental approach. Few things touch our daily life as much as Organisations do. We depend on organisations for education, food, clothing, shelter, health, wealth, recreation, travel, and much more. But what are they, have they come with us? Yes, organisations are as old as the human race itself. Archaeologists have discovered massive temples dating back to 3500 BC that were constructed through the organized actions of many people. The fact that impressive monuments were built suggest that not only did complex organisations exit, but that the people in them worked cohesively for common causes. “They are groups of people who work independently towards some purpose. Organisations are not physical structure; rather they are people who work together to achieve a set of goals. People who work in organisations have structured patterns of interactions, meaning...
