Book excerpt: Now that Wal-Mart has conquered the US, can it conquer the world? As Wal-Mart World shows, the corporation is certainly trying. For a number of years, Wal-Mart has been the largest company in the United States. Now, though, it is the largest company in the world.

Wal-Mart World is the first book to look at this incredibly important phenomenon in global perspective, with chapters that range from its growth in the US and impact on labor relations here to its fortunes overseas. How Wal-Mart manages this transition in the near future will play a significant role in the determining the character of the global economy. Wal-Mart World's impressively broad scope makes it necessary reading for anyone interested in the global impact of this economic colossus.

Book Synopsis A Theory of Grocery Shopping by : Shelley Koch
Download or read book A Theory of Grocery Shopping written by Shelley Koch and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grocery shopping is an often ignored part of the story of how food ultimately gets to our pantry shelves and tables. A Theory of Grocery Shopping explores the social organization of grocery shopping by linking the lived experience of grocery shoppers and retail managers in the US with information transmitted by nutritionists, government employees, financial advisors, journalists, health care providers and marketers, who influence the way we think about and perform the work of shopping for a household's food. The author provides insight into the contradictory messages that shape how consumers provision their households, and details how consumers respond to these messages. The book challenges the consumer choice model that places responsibility on the shopper for making the "right" choice at the grocery store, thereby ignoring the larger social forces at work, which determine what products are available and how they get to the shelves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diploma Thesis from the year 2002 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: 2,7 (B-), University of Applied Sciences Regensburg (Business), 44 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Wal-Mart In 1945 Sam Walton opened his first variety store in Newport, Arkansas. It was a Ben Franklin franchise. After five years it became the number-one Ben Franklin Store for sales and profit within six American states . In 1950 Sam Walton opened Walton′s Five and Dime store in Bentonville, Arkansas, where Wal-Mart′s headquarter is still based today. It was only the third self-service variety store in the United States of America. Though it was still a Ben Franklin franchise Sam Walton bought in much more products from other sources . After successfully rolling out this model into other towns he and his brother James ′Bud′ Walton launched their first Wal-Mart in Roger, Arkansas in 1962. It was their first independent store. In 1969 Wal-Mart stores were incorporated as Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. Shortly after, in 1970, Wal-Mart now operating 18 stores with an annually turnover of $44 million went public. In the same year they opened their first distribution centre and their home office in Bentonville, Arkansas. With sales of $1.2 billion and 276 stores the company′s stock was approved and listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 1972. This Text is looking at the impact Wal Mart's expansion outside the US has had on both the UK and the German grocery market places. It contains a demographic market analysis of both the German and UK grocery market and deals with possible movements caused by Wal Mart's entry to these markets. It also provides an overview of its US operations and long term strategy. Part of the text is a comprehensive analysis of Wal Mart's market entry strategy in relation to market entry strategy.
Book Synopsis Concentration and Power in the Food System by : Philip H. Howard
Download or read book Concentration and Power in the Food System written by Philip H. Howard and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who controls what we eat? This book reveals how dominant corporations, from the supermarket to the seed industry, exert control over contemporary food systems. It analyzes the strategies these firms are using to reshape society in order to further increase their power, particularly in terms of their bearing upon the more vulnerable sections of society, such as recent immigrants, ethnic minorities and those of lower socioeconomic status. Yet this study also shows that these trends are not inevitable. Opposed by numerous efforts, from microbreweries to seed saving networks, it explores how opposition to this has encouraged even the most powerful firms to make small but positive changes. This revised edition has been updated to reflect recent developments in the food system, as well as the broad political economic forces that shape them. It also examines the rapidly changing technologies, such as Big Data and automation, which have the potential to reinforce, as well as to challenge, the power of the largest firms.
Book Synopsis The Impact of Wal-Mart Supercenter Conversion on Consumer Shopping Behaviors by : Minha Hwang
Download or read book The Impact of Wal-Mart Supercenter Conversion on Consumer Shopping Behaviors written by Minha Hwang and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents an empirical study of the impact of Wal-Mart supercenter conversion (i.e., expansion of traditional discount-format stores by adding new departments) on consumer shopping behaviors. By using a difference-in-difference estimator and a joint model of store visits and expenditure based on a zero-inflated Poisson model and a log-linear model, we find that Wal-Mart gains 42% in weekly revenue from the conversion. Decomposing the revenue gains into components attributed to store visits and per-visit expenditures, we find that the majority of these gains were due to larger expenditures, with a much smaller impact from store visits. In contrast, among competing retailers, grocery stores experience the most significant loss (20% weekly revenue) mostly from fewer store visits, with a much smaller impact from per-visit expenditure. Taken together, these findings show that consumers may benefit from reduced shopping costs by making fewer overall trips and increasing their Wal-Mart basket sizes. In addition, we find that overall revenue gains for Wal-Mart from the conversion outweigh the small cannibalization loss at the existing Wal-Mart supercenters located farther away. Finally, from category-level analyses, we find evidence of increases in category-level spending in pre-existing categories in the converted supercenter. However, we also find that the increase in category-level spending is limited only to food categories and that there are no changes in spending in the non-food categories. We discuss the implications of our findings for academics and retail managers.

Book Synopsis The Economic Impacts of Walmart Supercenters by : Richard Volpe
Download or read book The Economic Impacts of Walmart Supercenters written by Richard Volpe and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our purpose is to review the economic impacts of Walmart's disruption of the food retailing industry. This review synthesizes the extant knowledge and research findings related to the economic impacts of Walmart's entry into, and subsequent domination of, food retailing in the United States and more broadly globally. The findings suggest five broad generalizations: (a) Walmart's physical growth in the United States has slowed considerably, but the company is growing rapidly in terms of total assets, digital capabilities, international presence, and sales per square foot; (b) Walmart's entry and presence are associated with lower food prices for households; (c) Walmart has considerable negative impacts on large competitors, particularly supermarkets, but the evidence for Walmart's deleterious impacts on small businesses is limited; (d) there is no consensus on the impact of Walmart on local employment, but most studies on the topic point to a modest increase in retail employment; and (e) Walmart likely increases food access but does not improve dietary quality.
