2) Alternatives – this section should consider different alternatives Ikea might have considered when expanding in Russia.
3) Chosen strategy – what strategy did they chose to deal with corruption and to still be successful in Russia and was it the right one? What should they do next?
4) Lessons learned – what are some lessons learned from this venture into Russia and how might they be applied to other scenarios.
