Walmart Versus Their Top Competitor?

Last week in your breakout session, your team applied Michael Porter's five forces technique to Walmart. Additionally, you listed who you believe to be Walmart's most formidable competitors.

• Now you will decide which of Porter's strategies are most aligned with each of the top competing companies: differentiation, cost leadership, or focus.
• Explain why you believe this to be true.
• Given some of Walmart's recent problems with customer service, high labor costs, and logistics, do you think there should be any changes to its strategy in the long run? Explain.
