In terms of financial brand worth, it is among the largest public companies in the world when it comes to sheer sales numbers &#8211; $524 billion in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rapid_Expansion\"><\/span>Rapid Expansion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Walmart is continuing its expansion program. Recently, it has purchased a UK-based retail business, ASDA. In India, the company has successfully possessed Flipkart. Additionally, it has programmed a joint venture with another Indian retail giant, Bharti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Global_Footprint\"><\/span>Global Footprint<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Walmart is truly global in its business volumes and footprint. It has over 11,000 stores around the globe. Some subsidiaries are also operating under different names. All combined, it puts a great number in Walmart\u2019s income statement every accounting cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Competitive_Pricing\"><\/span>Competitive Pricing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Walmart is considered to be one of the cheapest places to do the shopping because of its &#8220;<strong><em>everyday low prices<\/em><\/strong>&#8220;. It has perfected economies of scale and vendor relations, which allow immense control over quality and pricing to the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Exceptional_Supply_Chain_Logistics_Operations\"><\/span>Exceptional Supply Chain &amp; Logistics Operations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though it is the largest retailer, Walmart does not shy away from introducing cutting-edge solutions to its operations for excellent supply chain and logistics operations. With central command control, it can monitor inventories in all 27 countries from one location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Diverse_Workforce\"><\/span>Diverse Workforce<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Since it is a retail business working out of a physical store, employees hold the central key to operations. In the case of Walmart, employees are around 1% of the US workforce, according to some estimates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Control_Over_Suppliers_Vendors\"><\/span>Control Over Suppliers &amp; Vendors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Walmart exercises control over its suppliers and vendors due to its order sizes and influence. This lets the company dictate price and quality in many instances resulting in better consumer experience and profit margins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shift_to_Online_Sales\"><\/span>Shift to Online Sales<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The pandemic has clearly shown Walmart that the future belongs to online shopping.

Many employees reported their concerns regarding gender stereotyping at the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, consumers were outraged when Walmart employees placed multicultural hair products under locked drawers compared to open white hair care products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dependence_on_US_Market\"><\/span>Dependence on US Market<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Walmart has over 4,500 stores located in the US as compared to a total of 11,500 around the globe. Still, the revenue generated from local stores is far higher than those of overseas.

These include China, the Middle East, and Latin America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Business_Alliances\"><\/span>Business Alliances<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of building from the ground up in the new regions, Walmart can easily get into alliances and collaborations with regional companies. Acquisitions and mergers are not out of option, since it is a leader in the retail market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Improved_HRM\"><\/span>Improved HRM<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Walmart has been constantly lambasted by trade unions and employees for its LAX human resource management. The company can repair and even augment its image among peers and the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Quality_Product_Lines\"><\/span>Quality Product Lines<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Walmart retail stores have always focused on pricing over quality. This was great and working for a while but now consumers demand better products for even premium pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Augmented_E-Commerce\"><\/span>Augmented E-Commerce<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the pandemic, the retail market, including Walmart, heavily relied upon physical stores for making tremendous sales. Now, the company has successfully adopted an e-commerce model with discriminatory prices and ease of delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This has opened a new chapter in the history of Walmart as it will take the retail giant in the next century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Better_Employee_Relations\"><\/span>Better Employee Relations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>By improving working conditions and addressing issues faced by employees, Walmart can strengthen its ties with people from diverse backgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The late controversies have tarnished its image. Through social media and active campaigning, the company can reclaim the lost love from its customers and prospects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%98%A8_Threats\"><\/span>\ud83d\ude28 Threats<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Walmart is facing a lot of threats in both commercial and social spheres. Here is a rundown of the most influential ones.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/essayzoo.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Walmart-Threats-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Controversies, stiff competition from its competitors, and economic uncertainty are some of the aspects that are threatening the company\u2019s future.\" class=\"wp-image-2221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/essayzoo.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Walmart-Threats-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/essayzoo.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Walmart-Threats-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/essayzoo.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Walmart-Threats-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/essayzoo.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Walmart-Threats-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/essayzoo.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Walmart-Threats-624x351.png 624w, https:\/\/essayzoo.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Walmart-Threats.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Controversies\"><\/span>Controversies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to poor product control, Walmart was caught into yet another controversy &#8211; Impeach 45. The company sold t-shirts with printed words \u201c<em><strong>Rope. Tree. Journalist. Some Assembly Required<\/strong><\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walmart saved its skin by contesting that these shirts were sold by third-party sellers and not by Walmart. Still, it damaged the company\u2019s public image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other than that, controversies surrounding employee treatment, poor wages, fake products selling off of its shelves, and so on resulted in severe threats to the brand\u2019s integrity and survival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Competition\"><\/span>Competition<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Being great has its drawbacks. In the case of Walmart, the company has been a constant target by its competitors. Companies like Target and Costco have adapted and perfected the same business model. They are continuing to give tough times to Walmart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Political_Legal_Issue\"><\/span>Political &amp; Legal Issue<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Walmart has often come under media scrutiny as well as political and legal issues. By employing a robust team of lawyers and media personnel, Walmart can weather its image issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Poor_UIUX\"><\/span>Poor UI\/UX<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Since Walmart is new in the e-commerce sphere, it will take some time to perfect its online retail model. Recently, many customers have lodged complaints about poor website quality. They said that the site was slow and the products were not organized accordingly. This is another red flag as its online rival, Amazon, is known for its world-class website and relevant services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Economic_Recession\"><\/span>Economic Recession<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Retailers have a hard time adjusting to economic stability. This has been true for Walmart also, despite its large size and market cap. Among other threats, recession can also threaten the company as its sales are directly dependent on how much consumers are willing to spend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Trade_Tussle\"><\/span>Trade Tussle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Walmart can suffer a lot from the trade tensions between countries. For instance, it has over 400 stores in China. With the current tussle between the US and China going on, Walmart can face high tariffs which will ultimately affect its profit margins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Walmart_SWOT_Table\"><\/span>Walmart SWOT Table<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/essayzoo.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Walmart-SWOT-Analysis-Chart.png\" alt=\"Walmart SWOT Analysis Chart\" class=\"wp-image-2224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/essayzoo.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Walmart-SWOT-Analysis-Chart.png 1024w, https:\/\/essayzoo.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Walmart-SWOT-Analysis-Chart-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/essayzoo.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Walmart-SWOT-Analysis-Chart-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/essayzoo.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Walmart-SWOT-Analysis-Chart-624x468.png 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Strengths\"><\/span>Strengths<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\ud83d\udcaa Brand Worth &amp;
