The opening case explores IKEA's expansion into India. The Swedish retailer, renowned for its ability to maintain its entire concept in multiple foreign markets, decided that India required a different strategy.

Today, the company has about 400 employees in India, a number it expects to grow to 15,000 by 2025 as the company continues to expand its presence.
