Ikea entered the united states in 1985 and china in 1998. but the company started in 1958; why did it take so long to move into the united states and china? why do you think ikea is not in more than 28 countries today (there are almost 200 countries in the world)?

It took Ikea a long time to move into the United States and China because of limited resources. A company can't just open a business and spread throughout the world no matter how successful it is. A business has to prove that it has a solid plan and is successful before they can branch out and move into other countries.
