The management style of IKEA is quite informal. This type of management style may work inScandinavian and European countries. But this will not work in different part of the world. Whena company is going global, it needs to modify its business style a little bit according to thecountries culture. IKEA, for example does not maintain any formal hierarchy, it workscompletely based on teams (as a family), with no proper designations even for seniormanagements, as well as no formal clothing, and is egalitarian. But for instance, if it operates inAmerica it needs to change a little bit because Americans are more formal and suited at work place, focus on hierarchy, and believe in pay for performance. So these things are needed forIKEA to be considered when they are operating on a global scale.
