Competition Between Rival Companies

• Currently, they are three main incumbent companies that exist in the same market as Walmart: Sears, Target, K-Mart.

• Walmart often has an absolute cost advantage over other competitors.• Walmart has a mature industry life cycle and thus a tough competition is

maintained.

Bargaining Power of Buyers

• The individual buyer has quite a minimal power when it comes to Walmart.• Consumer could shop at a competitor who offers comparable products at

comparable prices, but the convenience is lost as the convenience.• Walmart has a wide range of customers, but they most target the lower middle

class citizens. Because, those are the customers that are seeking the best quality for the lowest price.

Bargaining Power of Suppliers

Page 20: Walmart Stores

• The high-market share of Walmart doesn’t give a lot of power because by Walmart threatening to switch to a different supplier would create a scare tactic to suppliers.

• Another potential risk to suppliers is Walmart could vertically integrate.

Substitute Products

• When it comes to this market there are not many substitutes that offer convenience and low pricing.

• Performance of substitute products are similar.• Consumer switching costs are low.

Entry Barriers

• Entry barriers are relatively high, as Walmart has an outstanding distribution systems, locations, brand name and financial capitals to fend off competitors.

• The new entrants will definitely face a stiff competition to enter into the industry which has already some matured players.

Conclusion

Sam Walton didn't care much for technology.

Wal-Mart’s networks are cutting edge, communicating to every employee in the company from the cashier to the CIO. Strategically outsourcing their technical communication has allowed Wal-Mart to focus on the business itself with efficient mobility and low prices.

The biggest move Wal-Mart has made to improve their system intelligence is outsourcing their databases to NCR Corporation bringing their total disk storage to over 7.5 terabyte make it the largest commercial database system in the world.
