customer base was middle and upper class consumers as it offers wide variety of products
differing in price. Its mission was ‘saving people money’ whereas its core value is to provide the
customer with low priced product so they can save money and live better. The vision of the
company is to be an appropriate destination that enables the potential customers in cost saving
regardless of the product shopping.

product quality, sustainability in the exiting market rather than expanding and investing in the
new country. Moreover, it is focusing on the recruitment of skilled human resource and

3. It was assed that Walmart has a reliable Information System as it perform the functions of
monitoring order and managing sales. Thus, it can be help in minimizing the need of the
human resource in the company.
4. The availability of selling diversified products would help the company in inviting the
other brands product in its retail stores. Additionally, it removes the dependence on one
major supplier.
The ‘Weakness’ of low morale employees and poor retail store atmosphere can be
overcome by developing monthly reward based activities for the staff and customers in the retail
stores. The ‘Opportunity’ of emerging in developed countries can be availed by establishing its
services in online channels of the host country. The ‘Threat’ of change in customer preference
can be overcome by assuring the regular customers with the product quality. It should also
develop a scheme of ‘Product exchange’ for customers facing issue with the product quality.
Additionally, the risk of competition can be ignored by offering the customers with the timely
discounts and product schemes.
