We are going to take an aggressive strategic focus on bringing IKEA online. Not only will we reach potential customers in less populated areas but they will catch up to their competitors. The other reason for this strategy is that this is the way IKEA can start to reach a younger demographic. Younger people are more aware of online activities and are more willing to buy online. The older demographic is still a little scared about buying online

    {draw:frame} The BCG matrix method is based on the product life cycle theory that can be used to determine what priorities should be given in the product portfolio of a business unit. To ensure long-term value creation, a company should have a portfolio of products that contains both high-growth products in need of cash inputs and low-growth products that generate a lot of cash. It has 2 dimensions: market share and market growth. The basic idea behind it is that the bigger the market share a product has or the faster the product's market grows the better it is for the company. Placing products in the BCG matrix results in 4 categories in a portfolio of a company: Stars (=high growth, high market share) use large amounts of cash and are leaders in the business so they should also generate large amounts of cash. frequently roughly in balance on net cash flow. However if needed any attempt should be made to hold share, because the rewards will be a cash cow if market share is kept. Cash Cows (=low growth, high market share) profits and cash generation should be high , and because of the low growth, investments needed should be low. Keep profits high Foundation of a company Dogs (=low growth, low market share) avoid and minimize the number of dogs in a company. beware of expensive ‘turn around plans’. deliver cash, otherwise liquidate Question Marks (= high growth, low market share) have the worst cash characteristics of all, because high demands and low returns due to low market share if nothing is done to change the market share, question marks will simply absorb great amounts of cash and later, as the growth stops, a dog. either invest heavily or sell off or invest nothing and generate whatever cash it can. Increase market share or deliver cash The BCG Matrix method can help understand a frequently made strategy mistake: having a one-size-fits-all-approach to strategy, such as a…

    IKEA’s vision is to offer ‘a wide range of well-designed, functional home furnishing products at prices so low that as many people as possible will be able to afford them.’ Because of their cost focus, they have a very broad target audience of anybody with a price preference, appealing to both business-to-consumer and business-to-business categories. IKEA itself has described its target market as ‘‘young people of all ages’’ (Martenson 1987,p.15) including students who may not be able to travel to the more rural locations of the typical IKEA retail store, low to middle income families who may not be able to visit due to household commitments in the day time, and young urban professionals who may not be able to visit the store during standard store opening hours. In the business-to-business context, IKEA’s e-commerce website targets mainly small to medium businesses from restaurants to hotels looking for multiple cheap and chic furnishing products, where it is more convenient to get the products delivered straight to the business, than to self-transport the goods.…

    IKEA is also viewed as a primary threat by Family furniture, despite being 125 miles away. IKEA’s are so large, catering to families with children’s play areas and food courts that it is an “event” to go there. People are willing to travel great distances to purchase furniture and Cheryl, the owner of Family Furniture, has learned that some of her customers have been driving to shop there. IKEA caters to a large group of people and their vision, per the IKEA website, “is to create a better everyday life for many people…by offering a wide range of well-designed, functional home furnishing products at prices so low that as many people as possible will be able to afford them.” Their biggest weakness reside in their distance from where Family Furniture competes and because they target the masses with low prices they may be viewed as having lower end and lower…

So in those days, IKEA can use that $150 as the revenue to make some more products or even a particular service, so they would earn money, on the other hand, that customer is feeling happy and cared by IKEA. Then he/she would come back again for some of the following deals.…
