Page 9 - The Way the IKEA manages the Global Environment

Time is a factor that for a long time the management is said to rely on. If the human resource manager is a lazy

person who cannot keep time in his work, then the employees can emulate the same and hence the result becomes
a much-disorganized organization that cannot meet the demands that it has for the particular period of time. The

ability of the human resource manager to coordinate his activities and the ability to schedule the entire team
requires proper planning and scheduling hence the human resource manager needs to have the best ways of doing

this so that it can make the organization see through the achievement of its mission and vision. The need for

communication is not only a central point for every organization but the human resource manager needs to be the
person to whom the best channels of communications come from. The human resource manager who is a reflective

practitioner is always quick to address an issue that has arisen in the organization due to lack of proper

communication. The need for the organization to have a flow in the chain of command is so much an issue that
is fundamental for the organization to follow. The reflective manager therefore considers issues like avoiding

bureaucracies and developing the best vertical and horizontal communication chains in the organization as ever
(Jakopovic, 2017).

By sharing the ideas and visions to the
team, not looking down upon the

decisions of others in the organization and

making sure that the communication is as
respectful as possible; the human resource

manager is able to manage the

organization and aim at the goals that have
been set for the organization. (Pioch,

Conclusion

The inception and the growth of the industrial giant was not so easy and with several challenges faced by them

they learnt a lot about the real scenario of business, how everything works and where to provide highest
concentration to be able to deliver the works seamlessly. Starting from the strategic plan and to materialise that

hiring the real talent and utilising them in the right direction is a huge job. Moreover, there comes the external
pressure and global diversity. Managing this and creating a whole new and unique crossvergence work culture

with all the glocal facilities are the keys of the success of IKEA.
