Case: IKEA- Building a sustainable supply chain
1. Using the case study, provide two examples of sustainable activities.
2. Explain how each sector of industry is linked together within a supply chain.
3. Describe how IKEA influences all elements of its supply chain to adopt sustainable practices.
4. Evaluate and discuss the effect that IKEA's sustainable practices are likely to have upon the furnishing industry over the longer term.
Requirements-
This case is derived from the London Times site for Business Teachers. The case provides a detailed description of a real-life business problem, the solution that was implemented, and the impact that this solution had on the business. Each student will prepare a 6-8 page paper with the following sections:
• Abstract: Summary of the entire paper in a single paragraph.
• Background: Summary of the problem situation covered in the case
• Solution: Summary of the solution that was implemented (actions taken by the business).
• How does the case relate to the course content? (Refer specifically to textbook references in this portion and include three excel charts.)
• Conclusion: What conclusions can be drawn from this case study? (This portion should include independent analysis and indicate an ability to draw general principles from a specific example.)
• All papers must be typed, no handwritten papers.
• All papers must have your name, date and title
• Proper APA format
