Abstract: With a simple mission statement "to create a better everyday life for the Chinese people", IKEA entered China in 1998. Initially it faced challenges due to high duty rates and the strict quotas levied by the Chinese government. To attract customers in China, IKEA adopted a low-cost strategy and started offering quality furniture at discounted prices. Although, IKEA tasted success in China, analysts are skeptical whether the price-reduction strategy of IKEA would benefit it in the long run amidst stiff competition and the changing customer preferences.
