Big business working in the interests of humanity would be a powerful tool."--Gordon Roddick, cofounder of The Body Shop"The IKEA Edge is a fascinating case study of an entrepreneurial company's growth to maturity. Anders Dahlvig is incisive and surprisingly straightforward in sharing the IKEA story.
