Management Class

This semester, I had to take a management course as an elective. The text book was full of Japanese companies' business model, and it made me feel a little little bit patriotic:P

However, what really drew my attention in the class was actually Scandinavian companies:Nokia, Tetra Pak, Maersk Sealand, and of course IKEA, which finally entered Japanese market this April.

Check it out this article about IKEA!


Not only IKEA, it seems quite number of companies (ING, Gucci, Heineken, ABN and Philips etc) are taking advantage of this Dutch NPO system stichting.

Interesting.
