Has anyone ever been to an Asian IKEA?
I’m really curious to know if it’s true that the only difference from the original Swedish stores is that they offer an extra set of knives and a wok...
I would have thought there were more differences—for example, special low furniture for eating on the floor in Japan, something like that... so, a lacquered side table with the legs cut down, please!
What else do you think would be a typical IKEA Asia product? I’m looking forward to your theories.
Have a great day everyone...

Billy_Fan3 Mar 2009 15:52It was an economics lecture about different business models. IKEA came up as a prime example because of its revolutionary idea to shift almost all service tasks—such as delivering and assembling furniture at home—that are usually advantages of a store, onto the customer, and still be successful with it (the concept of IKEA Family; shopping and feeling comfortable, and so on). My professor found that very fascinating. It kind of is… but he didn’t want to turn the lecture into a field trip or do in-person teaching on site, so to speak.

I would have thought there are more differences — for example, special low furniture for eating on the floor in Japan or something like that... so, one lacquered side table with shortened legs, please!

Have a great day...Hello,
the first thing that comes to mind is chopsticks. And chopsticks in all colors, shapes, and variations. I don’t know for sure, but they probably also sell them in our local stores.
Maybe also Mahjong sets 😀
