Please answer (maximum 2 pages) the following two questions with regards to the following IKEA Mini-Case

1. How is the IKEA operations design different from that of most furniture retail operations?

2. What do you think might be the major problems in running an operation like IKEA?

With over 300 stores operating throughout the world, IKEA has managed to develop its own special way of selling furniture. Customers often spend around two hours in the store – far longer than in rival furniture retailers. This is because of the way it organizes its store operations. IKEA´s philosophy goes back to the original business, started in the 1950s in southern Sweden by Ingvar Kamprad who was successfully selling furniture, through a catalogue operation. Because customers wanted to see some of his furniture, he built a showroom in Stockholm, Sweden. Not in the centre of the city where land was expensive, but on the outskirts of town. Instead of buying expensive display stands, he simply set the furniture out as it would be in a domestic setting. Also, instead of moving the furniture from the warehouse to the showroom area, he asked his customers to pick the furniture up themselves from the warehouse, an approach that is still the basis of IKEA´s process today.

  • …….
    …..
IKEA offers ‘value for money’ furniture with a wide range of choice, usually designed to be stored and sold as a ‘flat pack’ which the customer assembles at home. The stores are all designed around the same self-service concept – that finding the store, parking, moving through the store itself, and ordering and picking up goods should be simple, smooth and problem-free. At the entrance to each store are large notice boards which proclaim IKEA´s philosophy and provide advice to shoppers who have not used the store before. Catalogues are available at this point showing product details and illustrations. For young children, there is a supervised children’s play area, a small cinema, a parent and baby room and toilets, so parents can leave their children in the supervised play area for a time. Each child is attired in a yellow numbered top while in this area and parents are recalled via the loudspeaker system if the child has any needs. Customer may borrow pushchairs to keep their children with them.

Parts of the showroom are set out in ‘room settings’, while other parts show similar products together, so that customers can make comparisons. IKEA likes to allow customers to make up their minds in their own time. If advice is needed, ‘information points’ have staff who can help. Every piece of furniture carries a ticket with a code number which indicates the location in the warehouse from where it can be collected. (For larger items customers go to the information desk for assistance.) After the showroom, customers pass through the self-service warehouse where they can pick up the items they viewed in the showroom. Finally, the customers pay at the checkouts, where a ramped conveyor belt moves purchases up to the checkout staff. The exit area has service points, and often a ‘Swedish Shop’ with Swedish foodstuffs. A large loading area allows customers to bring their cars from the car park and load their purchases. Customers may also rent or buy a roof rack.

Please help me with a response so that I can write the following:

1. Discuss the relationship of leadership to the politics of the organization. Please be sure to address the following issues, along with presenting any other ideas about this concept that you find interesting:

…….

(1) Your assessment of the practicality of Dr. Kennedy’s advice, in light of the material presented in the other readings (be specific in your references). Any things that have changed, for better or worse, in the last ten years, from her article until now. Anything about her medical context that makes it problematical trying to apply her ideas in other places, such as, perhaps, your organization.

…….

(2) Your overall thoughts on the management of power in social relationships, and the balance of personal vs. organizational responsibility for doing this management (please note — there’s no “one right answer” here, but when you’ve stated your conclusions, remember that you need to back up your argument with facts).

…….

(3) What, if anything, does thinking about an “organization as a political system” add to what we have learned by thinking about an “organization as a machine”, an “organization as an organism”, an “organization as a brain”, and an “organization as a culture”? Since this course is organized about the utility of various metaphors, this last item is particularly important to attend to!

Document B: Treatise Written to a Devout Man, Excerpt from Primary Source

Walter Hilton was an English mystic who lived during the 1300s. His work Treatise Written to a Devout Man served as a guide on how to lead a Christian life. It was very influential during the 1400s and beyond. In fact, this book is still used for devotional studies today.

Document Analysis

  1. How much influence do you think pastors had on society during the Middle Ages in Europe? Explain.

  2. What is the mixed life?

  3. To lead the mixed life, do you think a prelate or pastor would spend time in a monastery? Explain.

THE third kind of life that is called the mixed life belongeth to Prelates [high-ranking clergy] of holy Church and to pastors and curates [priest assistants] who have charge and superiority over other men or women, for to teach and govern them, both as to their bodies and as to their souls, and principally to animate and guide them in the performance of the deeds of mercy both corporal and spiritual towards their Christian brethren. Unto these men of the mixed life it appertaineth sometimes to use the works of mercy in active life, in help and sustenance of themselves and of their subjects and of others also, and sometimes for to leave all manner of external businesses and to give themselves to contemplative exercises, as to prayer and meditations, reading of holy Scriptures or other good books or to some other spiritual exercises, according to what they shall feel themselves disposed.— Walter Hilton, Treatise Written to a Devout Man,
