Competitive Advantages in Discount Stores When you
walk into Wal-Mart the first that that hits you is
a display of household items that are point of
purchase items. There tends to be laundry
detergent, Kleenex, and toilet paper. These items
are sometimes on sale and are usually the ones
that people forget to put on their list. The store
itself is very crowded, but the atmosphere is
friendly. Most of the shoppers are in Wal-Mart to
get low prices and a lot of variety. I agree that
Wal-Mart has a ...

I live in Mentor, Ohio, a suburb about thirty-five
miles east of Cleveland. It used to be all
greenhouses, until a few decades ago when it began
the process of commercialization, along with other
neighboring cities. Big-name stores moved into
town, slowly at first. After awhile, along came a
shopping mall and stores such as K-Mart. These
businesses really began to change the community
for the better. As the area became more developed,
more people moved there. Eventually Wal-Mart made
its way int...

argument, in the Bruno's Foods break room, with a

about Wal-Mart. I was reading, How Wal-Mart is
Destroying America (and the World) and What You
Can do About It, by Bill Quinn, when John (FD, for
short) said, A Wal-Mart is better than a K-Mart.

Small Business Owners Wal Mart

Our economy is basically based on one major
concept; competition. Competition is defined in
Webster's Dictionary as being a trial of skill or
ability. Competition can sometimes be a good
thing, and it can also be a bad thing. It all
depends on which end of the spectrum you are.
Competition between two companies can benefit
society just as often as it can hurt society. One
major example of this is Wal-Mart and other large
corporations coming into a small town and running
small privately owned sho...

Overview When Sam Walton founded the first
Wal-Mart in 1962, the idea of bringing in a
discount-shopping store into rural America was
almost unheard of, except for the local five and
dime stores. When Walton noticed that he had a lot
of competition from regional discount chains, him
and his wife Helen traveled the country to study
other new retailing concepts, and were convinced
that it was the wave of the future. With Walton's
vision, Wal-Mart grew to be a multi-billion
dollar, international co...

to take over the grocery retailing industry.

Long-Term Financing Decision for Wal-Mart
Wal-Marts main goal is to increase its profits,
just as it is a goal of every commercial
enterprise. The strategy it employs to reach this
goal is continuous expansion at the expense of
pushing smaller retailers out of business. What
enables Company to offer very low prices is its
dependency on low quality Chinese products. I my
opinion, this strategy is appropriate at present
time. The Wal-Marts rapid growth is the best proof
of that. The demographic dy...
