Multinational corporations (MNE) across all major industries are attempting to undertake significant technology-enabled transformation initiatives.
Strategically, they are becoming increasingly aware of the need to become more agile, and therefore more responsive to market demands, by utilising disruptive technologies as a means to accelerate growth. They understand that exploiting the full potential of such technology will ultimately yield the greatest competitive advantage by way of growth expedition and accelerated market acquisition.
Historically, attention has primarily been focussed on defining clear visions and the subsequent development of strategies needed to operationalise those visions.
In an accelerated business landscape, long term vision and strategy alone are no longer sufficient. With rapid technological advancements and newly emerging market incumbents, it is becoming increasingly difficult to anticipate global business trends in the long term, and thus, taking advantage of such trends can be unpredictable.
Shifting priorities and flexible strategies place executives and programme teams under extreme pressure to deliver strategic initiatives in a timely and effective manner, while becoming increasingly conscious that the useful lifetime value of an ongoing strategy is deteriorating at a faster rate than ever before.
This, inevitably, makes programme and project execution the primary focus of companies aiming to leverage technology in order to improve their response to market changes.
We assessed the 3 change capabilities necessary for organisational agility, as well as how each one represents a requisite condition for the successful implementation of any change initiative.

Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.

Executive Summary
This report is on Walton Group to evaluate the performance of it towards customer
satisfaction and integrity as well as the future prospects of Walton Group, regarding appliances
industry, in a developing country like Bangladesh, where it wants to be the pioneer in this
industry in next 5 years.
As the income range of various income group increases, their buying ability increases
and taste for various electronics products changes. Customers want more affordable quality
products within their budget and as a growing company, Walton focus on consumer comfort
and entertainment along with the proper combination of price with their innovative, glossy and
top-notch artificial products. The related strategies help the organization to compete better with
other competitors. Some of the rivalry companies are tech giants like Samsung, Sony etc. In
order to compete effectively with them not only the price-sensitive strategies can help Walton
but also different managerial decisions about their internal and external environment plays an
important role.
To be the leader in appliances industry in Bangladesh, Walton will face challenges from
more foreign brands. The growing pressure of more modest electronics and automobiles will
be another big issue for Walton. Challenged by increasing competition from the local and
foreign brands and with a huge sales target, Walton realized that aggressive and efficient
business is the best way for them. The skilled managers keep their eye on coming decades and
take decisions in real time to adapt their business strategies to cope with changing environment.
We found that the percentage of Walton`s electronics products sale per week is 31 to
40, which is relatively higher than other competitors but in the case of the refrigerator the
percentage is only 10, which needs to be higher in order to capture market share effectively. In
8. Page 7 of 48
the case of customer satisfaction, we found that 27.5% of the respondents found Walton`s
services as satisfactory.70% of the respondents think that the price isn`t good enough and only
30% is the opposite thinker.72.5% of respondents said that the advertising program of Walton
isn’t effective enough.
Every organization has to face some problem and Walton isn’t different. The presence
of the company in electronics and automobile’s industry is promising and enriched by several
innovative future projects. Stable political and economic condition, as well as categorical
government help, will help Walton to flourish its business in the domestic market and
international market as well.

Bangladesh, with its developing populace and financial development, has tremendous
interest for family unit items. The way that exclusive around 60% of the nation has power
accessible demonstrates that when power will be accessible all through the country, interest
will augment further. As the general population of this nation is for the most part value delicate,
Walton, being the sole producer of the fridge, cooler etc.; is extremely quick to take care of the

The present market condition in Bangladesh is dynamic and the customers want more
than products from companies. They want services, more information, a suitable combination
of product and price with their income, longer after sales services and much more. Those
aspects enhance the marketplace in many ways. Let’s take a look at how competitive Walton`s
marketplace is.
Rivalry
among
existing

Strategic Application
32. Page 31 of 48
Growth Strategy
Top-notch corporation Walton follows concentration growth strategy through which it wants
to increase the number of products offered or markets served. This will help it to gain more
market share by selling more products. It will also be able to gain huge economies of scale
which will lead to reducing its production cost and make it more competitive in the market.
Walton follows three types of concentration strategies: -
Market penetration- This strategy is to sell more products in the same market. Walton
can do this by increasing advertisement which would boost demand for its products and
increase sales.
Market development- This strategy is to sell same products to new markets. Walton
can select those new markets where growth rate is high, so that sales tend to be high.
Product development- This strategy is to sell new products to the same market. Walton
can improve or modify its present products to increase market penetration within
existing customers.
All these strategies are undertaken by Walton in order to increase sales, increase market share
and be more competitive.
Advantages of concentration strategy: -
33. Page 32 of 48
1. It needs to analyze needs and wants of only one segment and then focus all its efforts
on that segment.
2. The concentration of resources which helps to reduce costs.
3. By undertaking the concentration strategies, it will be able to gain the strong position
in the market.
Disadvantages of concentration strategy: -
1. As the company has focused all its efforts on one segment, so if demand falls then its
financial position will also decline.
2. Activities in few locations may lead to higher transportation cost.
3. If there is a significant change in the industry, it can be hard to deal with.
Competitive strategy
Walton’s competitive strategy is cost leadership strategy which means it produces and
provides a better quality product or services to its customers at a lower cost than its competitors
do. This makes it more competitive in the market. Through this strategy, Walton needs to be
highly efficient and do anything to reduce its costs and keep its overhead at a minimum.
To ensure cost leadership Walton needs to acquire some strategies: -
It needs to find cheaper raw materials to keep production costs lower than competitors.
Walton needs to ensure that it enjoys high economies of scale, so that its average costs
are lower.
In order to make costs as low as possible, Walton should make sure that its
transportation costs are low.
It also needs highly trained workers, so that they can work efficiently to reduce
wastages and costs.
All these strategies will help Walton to maintain a strong cost leadership and gain high
competitiveness in the market.
34. Page 33 of 48
Advantages of cost leadership strategy: -
1. Walton will be less affected if the market price falls because it is already selling at
a lower price.
2. As it has cost advantage so it will be protected from its competitor’s firms.
3. Due to low cost, it can sell goods at a cheaper price which will help to increase
sales.
4. Walton’s low price will be a strong barrier against new entrants.
Disadvantages of cost leadership strategy: -
1. Competitors may also undertake cost leadership strategy and lower their price
level.
2. As Walton will charge a lower price, demand may not rise as customers may think
product quality is poor.
3. Walton will not be able to give promotional discounts as it already provides goods
and services at a very low price.
4. Selling at lower prices means profit levels are low, so reducing costs may not
benefit Walton.

Mobile phone industry is excellent in
Bangladesh with 133.2 million mobile network
subscription,10 million+ smartphones and an
outstanding 232% 3G growth rate guided by 6 powerful
mobile operators.
Walton`s journey to phone making was old and boring

smartphone `Primo` and later with innovative, colorful and quality smartphones `Primo
Series`; today Walton has 12% market share in smartphone industry regarding Bangladesh`s
capital. Tech giant Samsung or other foreign smartphone builders are now in the great
challenge before some local companies like Symphony, Walton etc.
This creative turn of Walton Group to smartphone industry has a capability
of revenue or more specifically profit building. Keeping up with this improvement and
maintaining the improvement is a great management issue for Walton Group.

Since the opening of business, Walton’s innovation is always dedicated to the
advancement of society & country and till now it continues with more dedication. This avant-
garde, experimental technology-based corporation has redefined the way for local competitors.
The design of the products is a reflection of modern lifestyle combined with local antiquity.
The capability of meeting customer satisfaction consistently with innovative products as well
as keeping an eye on tomorrow was never easy for any company but with proud, we can say
that one of our local players can do that.
Only some years ago, Walton wasn`t much known to customers due to the lack of
proper promotional effort but now the promotional effort is very decorative. The departments
are gradually integrated and the workforce is continuously augmented. The customer services
and after sales customer services are best among local competitors. More than 57 state-of-the-
art after sales service points along with an ISO certified central service points enriched
Walton’s customer care system. Over 21000 direct and indirect employees are working hard to
reach the topmost level as an organization.
Now Walton is also another name of rectitude, loyalty, probity and sincerity. It is one

“In criticism, I will be bold, and as sternly, absolutely just with friend and foe. From this purpose
nothing shall turn me.”
― Edgar Allan Poe
Positive criticism about any organization will help them to find out important
gaps and recover them. Here’re our small recommendations about how Walton
as an organization can perform better.
A wide area in Bangladesh is still unserved. Walton has to be aggressive
to cover the wide areas as well as make profit.
44. Page 43 of 48
Brand image is very important and the brand image of Walton is fair. In
orderto capturemore market share, it has to build strong brand image along
with sophisticated technology pillared by decorative, sustainable and
quality products.
Proper diversity management and more smoothed R&D department will
play an important role in its growth.
The number ofshowrooms should beincreased and the installations should
be properly integrated for better access to customer information.
The channel of distribution should be strengthened because it will save
time and operational costwill decline.
Walton should pursue the investment in innovation and technology
because their base is technological.
Finding out more skilled professionals from other diverse industries is
another major issues because this type of employees can provide a box of
ideas related to their sector like interior design, waste management etc.
This will help Walton to make its brand image.
Walton should sponsormore educational and sporting events.
One important change should be made to the logo and theme of Walton.
Fordecades we haven`t seen any changes so far. Attractive logo and theme
will help the company to attract more customers.
45. Page 44 of 48
Walton can take more private firms help to find out important information
about other competitors (Business Intelligence).
The internal information database should be updated sync chronologically
and simultaneously.
Here`s some recommendations for managers.
They should take the positive ideas and plop the negative parts of the
ideas in one portion of their thought.
Offering more people structured freedom results in low turnover rate.
Managers should consider this.
They should help the employees to build their positive identities and
trimmed the strength out of the employees.
And of course, While the operate for Walton, if they detect any
sophistical problem or discrepancy, they should decipher the
predicament or problem.
