Case Study: IKEAs Localisation Efforts in China IKEA, the Swedish furniture giant, has successfully expanded into the Chinese market through effective localisation strategies. One notable example is their adaptation of product names to resonate with Chinese consumers. For instance, the IKEA "MALM" bed frame was renamed " " (M r m ) in Chinese, which sounds similar and is easy to remember. Another example is IKEA's adaptation of its food offerings. While Swedish meatballs are popular in Europe, they may not be as appealing to Chinese consumers. To cater to local tastes, IKEA has introduced Chinese-inspired dishes, such as steamed dumplings and sweet and sour pork. Challenges and Solutions Regional Dialects: China has several regional dialects, including Mandarin, Cantonese, and Wu. IKEA has addressed this challenge by offering localised content in multiple dialects, ensuring that its message reaches a wider audience. Cultural Sensitivity: IKEA has been careful to avoid any content that could be offensive to Chinese consumers. For example, they have avoided using certain colours or symbols that may have negative connotations in Chinese culture Technical Challenges: IKEA, with its dedication and problem-solving skills, has overcome some technical terms or concepts that may not have direct equivalents in Chinese. They have worked with local experts to find appropriate translations or explanations, demonstrating their commitment to providing a seamless experience for their Chinese customers.
