Wal-Mart is America’s largest retailer and is located in all 50 states and is now branching out overseas. ... Wal-Mart’s master plan is consistently low prices and high consumer service. ... Wal-Mart was able to generate over $3 billion in free cash flow in their 1997 Annual Report, which greatly enhanced shareholder value. ... A SWOT analysis of Wal-Mart would include the internal assessment of the organization, which contains the corporation’s strengths and weaknesses. Wal-Mart’s strengths include manufacturing efficiency, a skilled work force, good market share, strong financing, and a superior reputation. ... Wal-Mart is currently backed with the latest technology. ... A skill workforce is also one of Wal-Marts strengths. ... When customers come to Wal-Mart, they want the associates to be friendly and knowledgeable of the products while exiting the store in a quick and timely manner. Wal-Mart also has excellent market share. ... Since Wal-Mart is such a successful organization, it does not need a lot of financing from outside the company. Another advantage of Wal-Mart is a superior reputation. Wal-Mart is the largest retailer, is located in all 50 states of the United States, and is even branching out overseas. ... I do not think that Wal-Mart contains and of these “weak” aspects. Wal-Mart definitely does not have outdated facilities. ... Wal-Mart is also expanding with the creations of more Sam’s Clubs, Bud’s Discount City (discount warehouse outlets), and an international division. Wal-Mart also does not have any obsolete technologies since it has the newest and most accurate satellite system. Neither does Wal-Mart have any weak management. The district managers of Wal-Mart do not allow for any weaknesses in their management teams. ... I do not think that Wal-Mart would be able to function as successfully as it has if there was any type of involvement of weak management. Also, Wal-Mart has not had any past planning failures, as far as I am aware of, since it still manages to remain the number one retail store.
