Wal-Mart was founded by Sam Walton in 1962 and has grown to be the largest retailer in the world. It employs over 1.6 million associates across over 3,700 stores in the US and 1,500 stores internationally. Wal-Mart's strategy has been to offer low prices every day. Its vision is to provide good quality and services to customers while remaining the market leader. Wal-Mart has a significant presence in the retail market in India as well through joint ventures. There is significant growth potential for retailers in India as modern retail makes up only 8% of the total $200 billion retail market.
- Walmart's supply chain helped lower costs through continuous cost control, asset utilization, and IT investments which supported its low price strategy. However, it may not be able to generate the same advantages in India's fragmented retail market.
- India's retail sector was highly fragmented and regulated, with 98% of the market being small, unorganized stores. The organized retail sector made up just 2% of the market.
- A SWOT analysis of the Bharti-Walmart joint venture found strengths in Walmart's supply chain capabilities and Bharti's local experience and brand, but weaknesses in facing competition from other Indian retailers and potential limits from evolving government policy.
The document provides an overview of the growth of the retail sector in India during 2009-2011 in the context of the global recession. It notes that organized retail makes up only 5% of the total retail sector in India. Several factors such as increasing incomes, urbanization, and global retailers entering the Indian market are expected to drive rapid growth in the organized retail sector during this period. The entry of large domestic companies and relaxation of regulations are also facilitating the expansion of retail formats across India. The retail sector is expected to become more competitive and attractive as new players enter the market and consumers increasingly adopt modern retail habits.

- For organized retail to continue growing, challenges around real estate, infrastructure, skilled labor, and tax policy need to be addressed. When done right, organized retail benefits all stakeholders in the economy.
Walmart struggled in its expansion into Japan, entering the market in 2002 through the acquisition of Japanese retailer Seiyu. While Japan represented an attractive retail market opportunity due to its large economy and consumer spending, Walmart faced significant challenges including a cultural mismatch with Japanese consumers' preferences for quality over low prices. It also struggled to adapt its supply chain and store models to Japan's unique geographical and real estate constraints. Despite branding efforts, Walmart had difficulty competing with well-established Japanese retailers and other foreign competitors like Carrefour that better understood the local market. By 2015, Walmart sold off its majority stake in Seiyu, representing a failed expansion attempt into Japan.

The document appears to list unusual items for sale at Walmart stores in China, including various meats like crocodiles, turtles, frogs, and pig faces. It also mentions low-cost liquor and spirits, as well as odd household goods like dried reptile parts, chopsticks, and antibacterial underwear for men. Many of the items are Chinese specialty foods or have a Chinese cultural context.
Wal-Mart faced several failures in expanding internationally. In Japan, Wal-Mart fired many employees when taking over Seiyu, which is uncommon in Japan's culture. Japanese consumers also saw Wal-Mart trying to force American values like 24-hour stores. In Korea, Wal-Mart selected poor locations and missed local needs, failing to build strong supplier alliances. Expansions in Germany, Brazil, and China also faced issues like not understanding local markets, regulations, and supply chain challenges. To succeed, Wal-Mart needed innovative strategies tailored to each country's unique business environment and consumer preferences.
Wal-Mart has experienced significant growth since opening its first store in Arkansas in 1962. It became the largest corporation in the world in 2003. While it has strong financial performance and supply chain management capabilities, it lags behind rivals in e-commerce. Strategic alternatives include increasing online sales to capture more market share and expanding into new geographic areas to better understand customers through surveys. The recommended strategy is to increase online sales to leverage existing strengths while addressing weaknesses.
Wal-Mart faces different challenges operating in China compared to the US. In the US, Wal-Mart dominates competition and faces no union or legal barriers, while developed infrastructure allows for efficient logistics. However, in China Wal-Mart faces intensified competition from local players, issues with logistics due to a lack of IT integration with suppliers, and obstacles like local protectionism and poor infrastructure. To address these challenges, Wal-Mart's strategy is to pursue adaptation by changing store formats to better fit local needs, pursue higher decentralization to increase responsiveness, and focus on developing relationships with local government and influencers to strengthen its position in China over 5 years.
Walmart is the largest retailer in the world, operating over 7,300 stores globally. It focuses on efficient procurement, distribution, and inventory management to offer low prices to customers. Walmart collects point-of-sale data from stores daily and shares it with suppliers to better match inventory to demand and reduce costs throughout the supply chain. Key to its success is strong relationships with customers, suppliers, and employees as well as low transportation costs through its private fleet.
This document provides an in-depth analysis of Walmart's global strategic management and electronic distribution strategies. It discusses Walmart's history since being founded in 1962, outlines its external and internal environments, and analyzes its business level, corporate level, international, and digital business strategies. The document also examines Walmart's strategic implementation approaches, including strategic control, governance, organizational design, leadership, innovation, and new ventures. It proposes alternative solutions to Walmart's challenges and makes recommendations.
Wal-Mart is one of the largest companies in the world operating over 7,800 stores worldwide with over 2 million employees. The document analyzes Wal-Mart's human resource practices including their focus on teamwork, servant leadership style, open door policy for conflict resolution, health benefits for employees, and emphasis on customer service in their organizational culture. It also discusses Wal-Mart's recent efforts to increase diversity through programs for women and training on diversity issues. While Wal-Mart has strong HR practices that have contributed to its success, the document recommends further improvements could still be made to make it a better place to work.
Wal-Mart is the world's largest retailer, operating over 6,700 stores globally. It began as a single discount store in Rogers, Arkansas in 1962. Key facts about Wal-Mart include its annual sales of $348.6 billion in 2006, over 1.9 million employees worldwide, and Sam Walton's family owning 40% of the company. Wal-Mart has expanded internationally in recent decades, now operating stores in 14 other countries through subsidiaries and acquisitions. However, entering some foreign markets like Germany and South Korea proved unsuccessful due to difficulties adapting to local labor laws and competition.
Sam Walton founded Walmart in 1940 and it has grown to become the world's largest retailer. Walmart pioneered efficient supply chain management practices like centralized distribution and electronic data interchange with suppliers. This allowed Walmart to offer low prices while maintaining high sales volumes. Walmart's use of technology like barcodes, data warehouses, and GPS tracking further optimized its supply chain and logistics operations.
Wal-Mart is considering entering the Indian retail market as foreign direct investment restrictions in India have been relaxed. India's retail sector is growing rapidly due to rising incomes and changing consumption patterns. Organized retail is expected to gain market share over the next few years. Wal-Mart should leverage its strategy of low prices through efficient supply chains and IT. A joint venture is recommended to comply with regulations and penetrate the market quickly. Local preferences, locations, diversity, and values must be considered to build a sustainable Indian business model.
The document discusses HR policies and practices at Walmart.

It also briefly discusses Walmart's operations in India and challenges faced there. The overall document provides an overview of Walmart's extensive HR programs and some criticisms of its approach.
Wal-Mart revolutionized retail by replacing inventory with information. By sharing real-time sales data with suppliers through its satellite network, Wal-Mart was able to reduce costs through efficient cross-docking and vendor-managed inventory.

With the emergence of supermarkets, kirana stores have been depleting day by day. Government is in the grave situation to decide whether to allow 50% FDI or not in the retail sector. There are certain retail outlets such as Walmart, Metro which are better in quality, cheaper in rates, and offering a range and variety of products under one roof. These malls have entered in India but they are into cash and carry business only and not in the multi brand retail sector. Many of them have entered through joint ventures. If government allow them to enter in India, it can be said that all the small shops and kirana stores will not be able to stand in the market. They cannot compete with them. Now the question arise how the kirana stores can be saved from these big giants in the market. It is the need of the hour today to save these kirana stores because in a developing country like India where the income of an average man is low, such types of small business can make them able to earn their living.

FDI is important for the growth of the economy but it should come for the rescue of the existing business and not as a threat. Secondly government intervention is seeked to make improvements in the functioning of the kirana stores. If kirana stores starts using their strategic advantages to the optimum level, they can make can make their existence strong in the market.

11. Cash and Carry ( concept)
In india tesco, carrefour, shoprite is already entered in the market with a cash and
carry in which they supplies to retailers, restaurants, and business houses and
walmart is entering in indian market.
k
The annual revenue of indian retail industry this year is $320 billion.(2006)
And the global sales of walmart is $315.6 billion and that was the entire sales of
India retail industry (2006)
12. Cash and Carry
India consumer class with rising disposable income at 400 million.
The rising income and increased consumerism urban areas along with uprising in
rural consumption will increase the growth around 7% to 8 %.
All the above points shows the potential for cash and carry.
The main problem is that the concept of that big warehouse store that the bigger
store have the high price and the smaller shops have lower prices but in abroad its
totally opposite, thats why the positioning will be the issue for them because the
perception which indian market consumer have is different from the others.
13. Consumer behavior
Wal-Mart Business Model:
1 Everyday low prices for consumer.
2 Squeezing cost out of the system.
3 Customer service with friendly people who greet you
This model might not be appropriate for India because:
1 In India bigger the place for shopping higher the price of goods perceived by
Indian consumers.
14. Consumer behavior
They should avoid discrimination (Ethnic and gender )as a part of employment
practice.
Location based issues:
1 In case of having stores on the outskirts of urban center then people who travel by
train might not be able to purchase in bulk. Consumer will buy less.
2 They need place close to where their potential customer lives.
3 people don’t like to travel 6-7 km.
To overcome this issues do offer E-retailing.
16. Consumer behavior (why should they travel when they can buy
it from karyana stores)
Collaborate with karyana stores to fill the gap. karyana store offers more or less
similar thing.
Take care of the religious affiliation, As Consumer preference changes from religion
to religion.(eg in gujrat alcohal is ban and hindu don’t eat meat).
Do give promotional offers to attract consumers.
17. Rights of the Passage
Biyani ( Big bazaar) says he works differently. “We are not like Wal-Mart; we believe
in a situation of win, win and win,” he says. “The supplier should win, we should win
and the customer should win. In Wal-Mart’s strategy, and maybe that of other
international retailers, the company wins and the customer wins. Somebody has to
lose for those two to win.”
One advantage Wal-mart can have is bharti’s presence in the market and their in-
depth knowledge of consumer behavior.
Biyani and other retailers were against the opening of walmart in india because
Competitions from both unorganized and organized sector have effect on
probability. Higher the competition lowers the profits.
18. Party Spoiler (supply chain)
Infrastructure issues lies India
By keeping the karyana stores included to minimize the challenges in logistics
infrastructure.
19. Copying with oversupply
Wal-Mart, has more than 10,000 stores in every U.S state and 27 countries.
Wal-Mart combined with Bharti Enterprises and established about 20 wholesale
stores throughout India by the name best price modern wholesale.
Do take in account that India is planning to build more malls in future.
So build a mall after analyzing proper demand for mall in particular area and city.
