IKEA is the world’s largest furniture retailer. It has many non-equity alliances with suppliers and manufacturers around the world. IKEA also makes strategic use of non-equity alliances and stakeholder partnerships to participate in finding solutions to social and environmental challenges. For example, IKEA has had longstanding relationships with Save the Children, UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund), and the WWF (World Wildlife Fund, the global conservation organization). Refer to Exhibit 9.4 and consider which of these governance considerations would be most important to this particular type of non-equity alliance.
