Case Study: Walmart International, Page 437, International Business, Hill, C. W. L., Hult G. T. M. (2020) 13th ed. Irwin/McGraw-Hill
- As one of the largest companies in the world, Walmart has a reasonably limited international exposure-only 28 countries. What do you think Walmart can do to have a broader platform in more of the worlds 195 countries?
- Walmart operates via a number of brands around the world (e.g., Asda in the United Kingdom). Many companies are becoming more and more standardized in their operations and have adopted organizational structures to support such standardization. Can Walmart adopt a more effective global strategy and, if so, what type of organizational structure should the company create to best serve its operation in the global marketplace?
- Walmart Stores Chief Operating Officer Judith McKenna was named president and CEO of the companys international unit effective February 1, 2018. The role is seen as a stepping stone to the top job at the worlds largest retailer, with current CEO Doug McMillon and his predecessor Mike Duke having run the international unit previously. If international is such an important part of the company, what can Walmart do, should do, or must do to leverage its position as the largest in the world?
