    IKEA S Global Sourcing Challenge Case Questions

    1. Marianna Barner should decline the invitation for IKEA to have a representative appear on the upcoming forecast of the German video program. The producers of the documentary invited them to take part in a live discussion during the airing, and while this offer does sound beneficial for IKEA to educate the public and the producers of the current efforts taken to fight child labor, it would not be in their best interest. This is attributed to the fact that the producers refuse to let IKEA preview the video beforehand and that they are aware that the producers “planned to take a confrontational and aggressive approach” directly aimed at them. As a result, there is a very high possibility that the representative would then be blindsided with questions and then IKEA’s message of their efforts would not be portrayed accurately. Instead, IKEA should respond to the allegations by releasing their own statement allowing them to explain their efforts once they have had the opportunity to review all evidence and verify the credibility.…

    Ikea Global Sourcing Challenge

    IKEA and Marianne Barner are facing a very challenging issue. Because they were blind sided by the child labor issues with their supplier, they had to scramble to respond to the issues in a quick and appropriate manner. IKEA sent a legal team to Geneva to seek input and advice from the International Labor Organization on how to deal with the problem and to find out more about the child labor issues. They also hired a third party agent to monitor child labor practices in India and Pakistan and to conduct random audits to ensure there were no children working. They had all their suppliers sign a legal document stating that if a supplier employed children under legal working age that the contract would be cancelled. Ikea and Marianne felt that these actions would protect them. They reacted to this as a social issue, they did not ignore the problem and just hope that it would go away, they accepted responsibility and moved towards creating a plan to deal with the problem.…

Gone are the days of simply finding the best contract with suppliers you interact with a number of times a month. Now you seek suppliers from across the globe, those who promise good rates, are professional to work with, draw out attractive agreements detailed with service levels, pay per milestone crossed options and even offer returning fees or no pay if targets are not met.
