"
Ingvar Kamprad has become one of the richest men in the world yet he retains and embodies a frugal approach. In his late 80s he still travelled the world to visit IKEA stores. He drives and old Volvo car, stays in cheap hotels and flies economy class. He addresses IKEA employees as ‘co-workers’ and encourages everyone to dress informally, enjoy work, give excellent service and keep costs down."
