Recently IKEA hit the headlines with the following:
Ikea blames urban regulation in Spain for the delay in opening new stores (20,000 new jobs)
This has been on their planning since 2009: Ikea plans to create 20,000 new Spanish jobsIkea blames urban regulation in Spain for the delay in opening new stores
Almhult (Europa Press) .- The chief executive of Ikea Mikael Ohlsson , has said that the Swedish company wants to build 10 new stores in Spain and is ready to do it “tomorrow”, but stressed that the regulation of urban planning in Spain may cause you to need five years to carry out its expansion program.
You'd think that such a company would be received with open arms and all the support that can be given.Ikea has penciled in a 2,000 million euro investment and the creation of 20,000 jobs in Spain over the next six years, where it plans to open twelve new stores, nine in their own commercial complexes, according to sources at the furniture and decoration company.
100 companies like this and Spain would have 2,000,000 less on the unemployment lines....
If you had a say at the top, what would you do to make investment projects like this take effect?
