OPERATING DIVISIONS OF WAL-MART

15. INDUSTRY ENVIRONMENT –
PORTER'S FIVE FORCES OF COMPETITION

16. 1.RIVALRY OF EXISTING COMPETITORS:
· Wal-Mart has a strong competitive advantage against its
competitors Kmart and Target.
· Rivalry in this industry is not as strong for the competitors compared
to Wal-Mart.
2.BARRIERS TO ENTRY:
· High because it is hard to form a large organization that will be
competitive at the same size as Wal-Mart with such low prices.
· This industry has high barriers because it is too expensive for new
firms to enter and to be competitive.

17. 3.POWER OF BUYERS:
· Weak because basically the prices are low from the
beginning so there would not be any potential for buyers to
bargain with.
4.POWER OF SUPPLIES:
· Weak because Wal-Mart uses its own distribution centers
that are located close to its stores.
· Wal-Mart is also far and away the biggest customer of
virtually all of its suppliers. It's scale of operation allowed
it to bargain...

18. 5. SUBSTITUTES:
· Medium because it depends on where you live and what type
of Wal-Mart stores are closer to you.
· Substitutes would be going to another grocery store, a toy
store, a hardware store; basically going to specialty stores
instead of going to one store that has everything in one, as Wal-
Mart .
