This was the beginning of what would come to be known as the Industrial Revolution. There are several reasons why the Industrial Revolution Began in England.

The company, which pioneered flat-pack design furniture at affordable prices, is now the world's largest furniture retailer. IKEA was founded in 1943 by 17-year-old Ingvar Kamprad in Sweden and it is owned by a Dutch registered foundation controlled by the Kamprad family. The company which was originated in Småland, Sweden, distributes its products through its retail outlets. As of August 2009, the chain has 301 stores in 37 countries, most of them in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia.

Inter IKEA Systems B.V. is the franchiser for all IKEA stores, both within and outside the IKEA Group (IKEA, 2007a), which means a franchising contract authored centrally at IKEA controls all business processes in all stores in all countries (Hollensen, 2007b). IKEA is a king of globalization compared to the many local competitors in the furniture industry (Capell et al., 2005; Hollensen, 2007b), if we understand globalization as a process leading to greater interdependence and mutual awareness among economic, political, and social units in the world, and among actors in general (Guillen, 2001). As such globalization means that big global players like IKEA are exposed to an increased global awareness and interdependence, which is recognised when IKEA promotes the reason for considering IKEA as a future employer. This can be seen at their global website under the title “why work at IKEA?”.
It has also joined the World Trade Organization, which helps to reduce trade barriers for foreign goods and services, which will help to build allies in the future. Furthermore, we can see that Russia has slowly begun to develop a strong economy. This has been made possible because of recent decisions and successful outcomes, but also because of their two most important factor endowments: high-abundant land and high-abundant labor. Russia has a very large abundance of land, and as a result, its population is large, which has resulted in a very strong labor sector. In fact, Russia has one of the largest workforces in the world.
