Analysis of Wal-Mart using some Strategic Management tools:
*** Value Chain
*** Strategic Position And Action Evaluation (SPACE)
*** Resource & Capabilities analysis
***
Walmart* have done tremendous work on supply chain management. One of the
keys to Walmartâs effective logistical system is the flexibility that it has when
choosing suppliers.
When Walmart negotiates with suppliers and the suppliers know that Wal-Mart
will only pay the most competitive prices. This is because it is very easy for them
to find another supplier of that particular material with a lower price and very few
logistical problems
Another reason that Walmart's prices are so competitive is because they buy in
such large quantities that transportation from one end of the supply chain to
another is not as costly for additional units. Here they focus on bulk and get profit
out of it
This aspect of the logistical system does not come from skill or expertise it simply
comes from the sheer size of the company, but this is still a factor.
Walmart buys so many supplies from different places throughout the world, that
they have the luxury of using bigger trucks and using less fuel to go back and forth.
Also if by chance they have to use shipping services to transport material from one
location to another, Walmart will give them so much business that they will get
huge discounts.

Introduction
Walmart is an international retailer that majors in the distribution of electronics, furniture, clothing, groceries and many more. The retail company is based in Arkansas, United States. It is comprised of a number of hypermarkets and grocery stores to help in the distribution of these products. The vision of the retail company is to be the best and most dominant retailer for the customers and for the staff members. The mission of the company can be seen to help people save their money so that they can live better. The companyâs business strategy obeys cost leadership which states that they have to present low prices. Walmartâs just-in-time philosophy ensures that deliveries are made in time.Evaluation of the key elements of Walmartâs operational efficiency with its operations strategy and the tasks that do not align with the operations strategy
Walmart Inc. is an example of a retail company that utilizes operational efficiency while delivering products to the customers (Banker, Mashruwala, & Tripathy, 2014). It also adheres to its business strategy which follows the âlow prices for allâ initiative while maintaining high quality products for the people. The company has an online type of system that customers can use to get access to products so they can order and then have the products delivered to their preferred destination.
For groceries, Walmart uses the âsame day initiativeâ to deliver products to their accustomed customers. The same day delivery services are referred to as Walmart to go. They also use a system of carrier referred to as The FedEx Corp which makes deliveries directly from the stores.
Apart from online deliveries, they allow buying products online with the option of picking the package up from the store and buying online then shipping to the store. They also allow making purchases directly from the stores within the United States.
Some of the tasks that are not in line with Walmartâs operation strategy are profit margins and their business model. The profit margins in Walmartâs case is considered to be thin which results from Walmartâs use cost leadership which dictates low prices for all. The same cost leadership has also contributed to Walmartâs business model to be easily understood by their competitors. This means that their competitors can emulate their business model.New operationâs strategy for Walmart based on the four competitive priorities (cost, quality, time and flexibility)
The new operation strategy for Walmart would be to balance their profit margins. Since they adopt the use of cost leadership, it means that they often reduce their selling prices. As such, they should also reduce their profit margins and focus more on sales (Banker, Mashruwala, & Tripathy, 2014). Since their business models are emulated by their competitors, Walmart should ...

of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

RMD24 | Debunking the non-endemic revenue myth Marvin Vacquier Droop | First ...BBPMedia1
Â
Marvin neemt je in deze presentatie mee in de voordelen van non-endemic advertising op retail media netwerken. Hij brengt ook de uitdagingen in beeld die de markt op dit moment heeft op het gebied van retail media voor niet-leveranciers.
Retail media wordt gezien als het nieuwe advertising-medium en ook mediabureaus richten massaal retail media-afdelingen op. Merken die niet in de betreffende winkel liggen staan ook nog niet in de rij om op de retail media netwerken te adverteren. Marvin belicht de uitdagingen die er zijn om echt aansluiting te vinden op die markt van non-endemic advertising.
5. Porterâs Competitive Forces Model In Porterâs competitive forces model, the strategic position of the firm and its strategies are determined not only by competition with its traditional direct competitors but also by four forces in the industryâs environment: new market entrants, substitute products, customers, and suppliers.
6. AMAZON Amazon developed a value chain of itself to internal it can operationally best add value and maintain a competitive advantage. They used the value chain model from Michael Porter's book, "Competitive Advantage: Creating and Sustaining Superior Performance."Â 2. Analyze Amazon and Walmart.com using the value chain and competitive forces models
17. All in all, by implementing these three important strategies successfully, Wal-Mart has become from a single store to the biggest retailer in the US and to the biggest company in the world. The cost management strategy of Wal-Mart wills create an operational model with the lowest cost which will increase the margin of profit on the financial statements. Moreover, the growth management strategy had dragged Wal-Mart into the right direction of investment and expanded radically around the distribution center. Lastly, the people management strategy inspires all associates to work more efficiency and creates a great workplace environment which full of self-improvement, competition, and respects. It also provides an opportunity for people to build-up experience from the low-rank position to the high-rank position. Therefore, strong management in these three strategies had transformed Wal-Mart into the biggest company in the world with the highest number of employees worldwide and had also provided benefits to millions of people around the world by transferring unnecessary cost into low-cost products.

21. Wal-Martâs e-commerce business model Possibly the single greatest success story of e-business and B2B implementation is that of the rise to dominance by Wal-Mart in the North American retail market. Wal-Martâs impressive growth in such a short time span and arguably the single most important factor in this rise was their harnessing of the power of e-business, e-procurement, and the adjustment of internal processes to maximize this advantage. More than any other company, Wal-Mart has revolutionized supply chain management by using a âpullâ model where customer demands drive the suppliers. Inventory control is finely honed and purchasing trends are available to suppliers, whom now must be able to quickly respond to the needs of millions of customers. The business decision to decentralize the procurement process means that front-line staff in every store can immediately order the appropriate stock electronically, which will in turn require rapid turnout of product from the suppliers. This rapid replenishment system, coupled with accurate purchasing forecasting, helps Wal-Mart reduce overall costs. 4. Compare Wal-Mart's and Amazon's e-commerce business models. Which is stronger?
22. Wal-Martâs e-commerce business model (conât) While not always good for suppliers in general, Wal-Martâs power as a giant in business has helped in establishing new standards for B2B e-commerce. Wal-Martâs mindset of cutting costs at all costs resulted in them deploying EDI over the Internet to eliminate the costly VAN altogether. EDI over the Internet (EDI-INT) uses a new standard called AS2, a communication protocol that attempts to make EDI communications over the Internet both secure and reliable. By mandating their suppliers to use AS2, Wal-Mart leads the way in creating a demand for a new generation of EDI, and in turn drives the whole world of ebusiness forward.
23. Amazonâs e-commerce business model Amazon started as a store that focused primarily on books and music. It quickly expanded to other segments and now sells products in nearly every segment â apparel, home improvement, groceries. In addition, Amazon has expanded from a Business-to-Consumer (B2C) only store to a mixed model with its corporate account functionality that focuses on business buyers.  Added to the mix, is the Amazon marketplace â Amazon's answer to eBay- which allows merchants to list their products and customers to purchase from merchants while using Amazon's eCommerce platform. As a provider of eCommerce software to mid-market, we use Amazon as a reference for the features it has on the web store. Some of these features not easily found on other sites include the â1-Click Orderingâ, âCustomer Viewingâ, âRecently Viewed Productsâ, âKeyword Auto-fillâ on the product search, âYour Personalized Storeâ, and âItems to Considerâ. While some of these features are relatively easy to implement e.g. â1-click Orderingâ, others are not so easy and require an advanced platform .
24. Amazonâs e-commerce business model (conât) But selling goods isn't the only way to make money with Amazon.com. The Web site's affiliate program is one of the most famous on the Web. Through Amazon's Associate Program , anyone with a Web site can post a link to Amazon.com and earn some money. The associate can also take advantage of Amazon Web Services , which is the program that lets people use Amazon's utilities for their own purposes. The Amazon Web Services API (application programming interface) lets developers access the Amazon technology infrastructure to build their own applications for their own Web sites. All product sales generated by those Web sites have to go through Amazon.com, and the associate gets a small commission on each sale. On the flip side, Amazon seems to not have kept up with the Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 user interface improvements and for most part still incorporates Web 1.0 technology which means â you still need a mouse click to view a product as opposed to being able to see product details with a mouse roll-over.  Amazon could use a make-over to make for a snazzier shopping experience.Â
25.
26. I would prefer to make my internet purchases at Amazon because the richness of the content on a product detail page is absolutely amazing. Not only can customers view product images uploaded by Amazon but other customers can upload images and include relevant content to that.  The quality of the customer reviews is better than just about any other eCommerce site. Not only can customers post a review (which most sites offer) but other users can vote on the usefulness of the review. Some reviewers have actually built their following on Amazon.com with good quality reviews. Even when shopping at another store, I find myself going to Amazon.com to see the user feedback on the product.  Other examples of rich content are user-specified tags and the ability to preview a book without purchasing â bringing the âbrowsing a book at Bordersâ experience in home. 5. Where would you prefer to make your Internet purchases? Amazon or Walmart.com? Why?
