Walmart Business Challenges
3/26/2015CaseAnalysis-NitrofixGhana,Inc.
6
01 External Factors
 Maturing market in its core business
 Target for critics on social issues: pushing production
from the U.S. to low-wage overseas producers resulted
to a depressed wage growth in the U.S.
02 Internal Factors
 Might reach saturation point so unable to sustain high
year on year growth rate
 Prodigious rate in stores growth lead to sales
cannibalization
 Sam’s Club warehouse stores performance is much
lower than leading store “Costco”
 Shifting away from its original target market, i.e. low
income customer which focuses in low price
 Hard time in international operations due to inability to
respond local markets
 Imbalanced Chinese relation
• Is it possible for Walmart
to sustain its accustomed
high growth rates?
• Is it necessary for
Walmart to find new
business to continue its
historic success?

The retail business is a highly
competitive industry. Wal-Mart faces a
number of competitors in all segments of
their business.
 Exit barriers are high
 Slow industry growth
 Have excess capacity
 Cost structure of firms: sensitive to
cost
 Buyer’s switching cost is low

Low
Being that the retail industry is a
highly saturated market, new
entrants would face difficulty
succeeding in this industry. In fact, it
is highly difficult for discount
retailers to penetrate other markets
as Wal-Mart tried to enter Germany
and South Korea. The company was
unsuccessful and had to pull out
because of its unprofitability

High
Consumers today are searching for the
best deals possible. They are waiting
for discounts and sales to bulk up on
products. Customers know what they
want and how far they are willing to
search for the item. Thus, switching
cost is low. Retailers must maintain
high inventory levels to retain
customers and their market share.

Medium
Substitute products are products that can
be used as replacements for other
products to satisfy the same necessity.
Wal-Mart benefits from this idea as
discounters have lower prices than
department stores and consumers go for
higher quality product with the lowest
prices.
 Prices and quality of substitute
products are very competitive.
 Performance of substitute products are
similar.
 Consumer switching costs are low.

Medium-Low
Forging relationships with suppliers is
essential to Wal-Mart’s business. Without
timely inventory deliveries, Wal-Mart could
not maintain its full shelves and would lose
customers.
 Wal-Mart purchases huge quantities of
products from its suppliers.
 Low switching costs from one supplier to
another.
 Products have a lot of substitutes.
 Almost all the products are not critical for
Wal-Mart.
