“Few tasks are more exasperating than trying to assemble flat-pack furniture from IKEA,” The Economist wrote in 2006, “But even that is simple compared with piecing together the accounts of the world’s largest home-furnishing retailer.” IKEA is well-known for its global functional minimalism, Swedish meatballs, and affordability. What’s less commonly known however, is that not only is IKEA not publicly traded, but that it's actually technically a nonprofit entity. How is that possible, you might ask? It’s complicated. But in order to understand how IKEA makes money, it’s important look at how it’s organized.
For the financial and managerial accounting final I was as asked to prepared a narrated presentation using the knowledge gained from the semester to analyse a publicly traded company of my choosing. My analysis was performed on the 2015 Q3 earnings release of Yelp, the (in)famous review site.
