QUESTIONS:
1. What are IKEA’scompetitive Priorities ?
Low price with meaning, the goal is to make things less expensive
without ever making customers feel cheap :
- Start Designing with lower price in mind
- Flat pack the products
- Fit all products information into one price tag
- Encourage self delivery
- Encourage self assembly
- Make products people like
QUESTIONS:
2. Describe IKEA’sprocess for developing a new product?
IKEA’sprocess of developing a new product, as put in the case study, begins
with a rough sketch along with a determination of the approximate price for
the item. Ateam comprised of designers, product developers, and purchaser
later establishes the best approaches to develop the item, each providing
input from their respective area of expertise. Amanufacturer is than chosen
using many factors relative to product and the way in which they conduct
business. IKEA,as previously mentioned, is thoroughly involved in the entire
process. With the price and the manufacturer at hand, an internal
competitive process is used to obtain the best design, which should possess
the best possible uses, the most cost effective materials, and good quality in
mind.
QUESTIONS:
3. What are additional features of the IKEAconcept (beyond its design
process) that contribute to creating exceptional value for the customer?
That contribute to creating exceptional value for the customer? The way IKEA
ships their products is the number one way they are able to keep their prices
so low. By requesting customers to assemble the products themselves, they
are able to ship their items flat, therefore increasing the number of items
they ship.
By filling the containers as much as possible (they are at a 65% average fill
rate) and by building their distribution centers near ports, railways, and
highways IKEAhas been able to ship with great efficiency. Since they are able
to ship the maximum amount of products at the right time to the right
stores, they have been able to keep their prices 30 to 50% lower than their
competition.
QUESTIONS:
4. What would be important criteria for selecting a site for an IKEA
store?
Some important criteria for selecting an IKEAstore site would be the
location to a large city with not only multiple shipping options like air,
rail, and sea, but also with higher income. The site would also have to
be large enough to house their theme park-type furniture outlet.
