IKEA’S CUSTOMERS’ EXPECTATIONS
The products must be :
Affordable
Convenient
Varied and creative
Environment friendly
![Page 10: Edwige Ravry, Peggy Nicod, Marine Jubé, Dimitri Cournède, Alexandre Krouglikoff IKEA Best in France Case study March 19th, 2004.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649ec05503460f94bcb70a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
ADAPTATION TO FRANCE
Although the main trends are fixed by the « Board », each national head-office is free to implement them as it wishes.
Nowadays, IKEA’s designers
also get their inspiration from
other countries than Sweden. The colour range for each product changes
from one country to the other.
![Page 11: Edwige Ravry, Peggy Nicod, Marine Jubé, Dimitri Cournède, Alexandre Krouglikoff IKEA Best in France Case study March 19th, 2004.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649ec05503460f94bcb70a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
EXPECTED CONSTRAINTS
Fear that the French would be chauvinistic and not buy IKEA’s products.
Fear of social conflicts and civil service inefficiency.
Fear that the market would be saturated (BUT, Fly…).
![Page 12: Edwige Ravry, Peggy Nicod, Marine Jubé, Dimitri Cournède, Alexandre Krouglikoff IKEA Best in France Case study March 19th, 2004.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649ec05503460f94bcb70a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
STAFF CONSTRAINTS:
Social security charges. Harsh social legislation. 35 hour working week. Trade unions.
CSQ: high costs.
![Page 13: Edwige Ravry, Peggy Nicod, Marine Jubé, Dimitri Cournède, Alexandre Krouglikoff IKEA Best in France Case study March 19th, 2004.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649ec05503460f94bcb70a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
BUREAUCRACY:
Civil service inefficiency.
Huge amount of paperwork.
![Page 14: Edwige Ravry, Peggy Nicod, Marine Jubé, Dimitri Cournède, Alexandre Krouglikoff IKEA Best in France Case study March 19th, 2004.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649ec05503460f94bcb70a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
MARKET CONSTRAINTS:
Highly competitive segment of the market (BUT, Fly…)
No market growth since IKEA arrived in France.
![Page 15: Edwige Ravry, Peggy Nicod, Marine Jubé, Dimitri Cournède, Alexandre Krouglikoff IKEA Best in France Case study March 19th, 2004.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649ec05503460f94bcb70a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
AS A RESULT …
Tough financial constraints : the breakeven threshold is increasing.
IKEA does not expand in France as much as it would like to.
