IKEA is very Sweden-centric; that is, they like doing it the Swedish way, from the names of the furniture to the management of t

he company. Sweden is a neutral country, so maybe this is the way to go for a global company, but is smart to be too centric to a specific country when you are a global corporation

Answer:

It can be a smart strategy if the country has a significant amount of soft power (power not on military or economic terms, but on cultural and social terms).

Explanation:

For example, Sweden is a country that enjoys a high level of prestige around the world, because it is a very well developed country, with a very high standard of living, an economic model that many people admire (the Nordic Model), and several cultural exports like Volvo cars, or ABBA, that enjoy popularity around the world.

IKEA, in that sense, is like another Swedish cultural export, and when people go to an IKEA, they go expecting to find something "Swedish", so in this sense, the strategy can clearly pay off because of the soft power that Sweden has.

There is conflict and distrust in the team. Glen, the team leader, doesn't think the team members are working enough. The team members, on the other hand, don't think Glen trusts them to do their jobs. You want to resolve this conflict and make sure it doesn't happen again-<u>This can be achieved by using Conflict Management technique</u>

Explanation:

<u>1) Understand the situation. </u>

Understanding/listening  both the side of the story before resolving the conflict is very important

<u>2) Acknowledge the problem. </u>

Acknowledging the frustration and concerns of the employees is an important step in resolving the conflict. what might seems to be a small problem to an employee may be a big problem for another person

<u> 3)Be patient while making decision. </u>

Information evaluation require time.Do not take any decision related to conflict management quickly,try to understand and resolve the situation.

<u>4)Avoid using coercion and intimidation. </u>

Emotional outbursts or coercing people may stop the problem temporarily, but do not fool yourself into thinking it is a long-term solution. Odds are the problem will resurface. At that point not only will you have the initial problem to deal with, but also the angry feelings that have festered below the surface during the interim.

<u>5) Focus on the problem, not the individual. </u>

Most people are known to be a  “problematic individual” during their work but one must avoid their  own pre-conceived notion or attitude about individuals and should focus on problem resolution.

<u>6) Establish guidelines. </u>

setting guidelines before the meeting

Allow both the parties to keep their points on the conflict and then try to identify the real cause of conflict.

<u> 8. Act decisively. </u>

Communicating  to all the parties involved, and reviewed all the circumstances, and then take  your decision and act. Don’t leave the issue in limbo.
