What do you think of the company’s product strategy and product range? Do you agree with the matrix approach described in Figure B of the case? What is most important about IKEA’s product strategy and product range is their matrix‚ which is simple enough‚ yet very useful at creating market opportunities. The matrix also creates a way of accepting

[edit]Linear independence As mentioned above‚ the determinant of a matrix (with real or complex entries‚ say) is zero if and only if the column vectors of the matrix are linearly dependent. Thus‚ determinants can be used to characterize linearly dependent vectors. For example‚ given two linearly independent vectors v1‚ v2 in R3‚ a third vector v3 lies in the plane spanned by the former two vectors exactly if the determinant of the 3 × 3 matrix consisting of the three vectors is zero. The same idea is also

Ultimately‚ all persuasion should open opportunities for people to make a choice to assign meaning to a symbol. If persuasion is forced on people and narrows down or prevents them from having the ability to choose‚ the persuasion is occurring on wrong‚ unethical grounds. Clearly‚ persuasion can be used both properly and improperly in the church. If the church tries to open space for people to decide whether or not to accept Jesus as their savior by using God’s words in scripture as support‚ then
