TESTAMEN T A Furniture Dealer’s Testament Written in 1976, it constitutes the conceptual basis of IKEA.
TESTAMEN T 1. The product range – our identity. 2. The IKEA spirit. A strong and living reality. 3. Profit gives us resources. 4. Reaching good results with small means. 5. Simplicity is a virtue. 6. Doing it a different way. 7. Concentration – important to our success. 8. Taking responsibility – a privilege. 9. Most things still remain to be done. A glorious future!
TESTAMEN T 5. Simplicity is a virtue • Complicated rules paralyse. • Exaggerated planning is the most common cause of corporate death. • Simplicity gives strength.
CULTUR E Simplicity - in our behaviour and in our solutions. – Simple habits, simple actions are a part of IKEA but we must never forget to show respect for each other.
TESTAMENT 8. Taking responsibility – a privilege • Only when sleeping one makes no mistakes. • The fear of making mistakes is the root of bureaucracy and the enemy of development. • Exercise your privilege, right and duty to make decisions and take responsibility.
CULTUR E – Consideration, respect, friendliness, generosity, sincerity, admitting your mistakes, listening to others – these are the qualities we like to encourage at IKEA. This is what we mean with humbleness – A question of taking responsibilty, making the decisions and having the courage to act. This is what we mean with will-power
CULTUR E Leadership by example - Set a good example by your behaviour and thereby, create a feeling of well-being and a good working environment.
Leadership by example Striving to meet reality Simplicity Constant desire for renewal Cost Consciousness Living the IKEA Values e nt g to b e differ Darin Constantly on the way Humbleness and will power Accept & delegate responsibility Togetherness and enthusiasm

SWOT IKEA as an ” employer in INDIA
Strengths • Unique Culture & Values. • Family friendly company – actively encouraging work life balance. • We stand for equal opportunities – 50/50 at all levels. • A global successful company/foreign brand with 25 years of history in India. • Possibilities to offer a stable and secure employment. • Mature company with people processes and tools in place. • Local and global career opportunities within the same company.
Weaknesses • Low Brand awareness as an employer in the market. • Flat organisation, no perceived upward movement. • Compensation is at the median. • Perceived as slow in decision making
Where we are coming from • Since 2009 IKEA and our suppliers have developed from very labor intensive production to automation. Asia sourcing is stronger than ever before and we have big growth plan according to GIT 2020. • At the same time we have also faced challenges. Despite our investment in automation we have not reached our desired efficiency gains and quality outcome. • We have the ambition to build the most competent and professional purchasing organization in Asia. We want to create industry leadership with suppliers in partnership. • Success depends on our people and their willpower and capability in making things happen. Both in IKEA and at our suppliers. Competent and motivated co-workers is one of the key enabler for creating a platform for business growth.
Today’s reality
Some facts • Labor cost will double within 5 years • Asia has an insufficient supply of skilled talents • Only 1 in 10 graduates have ready to work skills • Workforce performance will have to increase by 29% to hit business goals • Only 22% of employees want to stay • Employees in Asia expect to get promoted 30% faster than global peers • Only 14% of leaders position have ready-now successors • Versus global peers, leaders in Asia are 12% younger and 27% less experienced
