Abstract
This is the simplified Chinese version of ''9A88M010''. The mid-1986 Sears new catalogue contained a 20-page section called Elements. This section bore a striking resemblance to the format of an IKEA catalogue, and the furniture being offered was similar to IKEA''S knocked-down self-assembly line. The head of IKEA''S North American operations wondered how serious Sears was about its new initiative and what, if anything, IKEA should do in response.
