Question

Answer 1

Did you want 3 things that wld change Wal-mart positively or negatively? Anyway, here are some things that can happen:

Possibly positive:
* To take over, merge with, or form strategic alliances with other global retailers, focusing on specific markets such as 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.

Possibly negative:
* 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 price deflation in some ranges. Intense price competition is a threat.
