Wal-Mart is the World's largest grocery retailer andcontrol of its empire, despite its IT advantages,
could leave it weak in some areas due to the huge
span of control.
Since Wal-Mart sell products across many sectors(such as clothing, food, or stationary), it may not
have the flexibility of some of its more focused
competitors.
The company is global, but has has a presence inrelatively few countries Worldwide.
Weaknesses

To take over, merge with, or form strategic alliances with
other global retailers, focusing on specific markets suchas Europe or the Greater China Region.
The stores are currently only trade in a relatively small
number of countries. Therefore there are tremendous
opportunities for future business in expanding consumer
markets, such as China and India.
New locations and store types offer Wal-Mart
opportunities to exploit market development. They
diversified from large super centres, to local and mall-
based sites.
Opportunities exist for Wal-Mart to continue with its
current strategy of large, super centres.
Opportunities

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/walmart-cool-the-pppt-by-aditya 20/24
Being number one means that you are the target of
competition, locally and globally.
Being a global retailer means that you are exposed
to political problems in the countries that you
operate in.
The cost of producing many consumer products
tends to have fallen because of lower manufacturing
costs. Manufacturing cost have fallen due to
outsourcing to low-cost regions of the World.
This has lead to price competition, resulting in pricedeflation in some ranges. Intense price competition
is a threat.
