  4. If it's racking up huge losses in e-commerce business then it's sure that they are not up to the mark in business administration because check out any e-commerce businesses in the entire globe, most of them are booming even those companies who don't have the same amount of resources that Walmart has.

    1. Walmart is facing some problem due to not updating the trend but after updating its marketing strategy it good in e commerce as well and leading the market for e commerce grocery.

  5. Selling products lesser than the purchased price to generate more quarterly revenue may lead to huge loss to the company, if walmart presents it products with a negative gross margin it will be just like business failure.

    1. I think this is the marketing strategy of Walmart. Walmart bis trying to clear the old stock and making some money from the old stock.

  7. Instead of selling its products at comparatively lower price ... If Walmart apply some more pricing technique wid their products ...like " ending price with the number 9 " is one of the best method in order to improve the sell without facing huge losses .... what's ur opinion???
