Question $2(2\mathrm{.}5$ points$)$

If IKEA chose to implement a multidomestic strategy in which it practiced global efficiency and local responsiveness instead of its current successful global strategy, which of the following would be the most likely outcome?

It would sacrifice the efficiency of centralized operations and distribution, which could affect its cost position, potentially driving up costs and prices.

It would need less time to open stores in other countries based on speedy research of prime locations.

Its products would be even harder for customers to build themselves upon purchase.

Its products would stay the same, with the quirky Swedish selection IKEA currently offers.
