- Review the corporate strategy of AB Electrolux: found here: http://group.electrolux.com/en/category/about/
- As the social and demographic trends continue to evolve so do the opportunities afforded to Electrolux.

It is estimated that by 2030 there will be 3 billion more people in the global middle class than there were in 2013.(Ernst & Young, 2013)
- Correlated with rising incomes worldwide, homeownership has also increased at a substantial rate giving rise to increased demand for consumer durables such as refrigerators, washing machines, and dishwashers. (Electrolux, 2013)

Questions for Week 8 Case Analysis
Discuss whether AB Electrolux can compete with local Chinese consumer manufacturers.
Hit the tab key one time to begin the main body of the paper. Although the abstract is not indented, the paragraphs of the main document are indented. The computer will wrap your text for you based upon the margin settings established by this document template. It is not necessary for you to hit the enter or return key at the end of a line of text. Only hit the enter key (one time) when you reach the end of a paragraph. Comment by Dr. Chambers: Make sure your margins are set to 1’ all around and Times New Roman 12 point font.
Then hit the tab key to indent and then continue typing the paper. In APA any source that you use in your paper must have an in-text citation. In APA these citations include the author’s last name and the year of the publication in parentheses (Barrett, 2002). If the source you are using does not identify an author, use a shortened version of the source title rather than the author name (“E-Portfolios for Education,” 2006). Comment by Dr. Chambers: Pay attention to proper in-text references. If you have questions on certain references, outside of a book, revisit the APA Owl website.
