1. Buying Power - They buy huge quantities from suppliers and maunfacturers at a discount
2. Inventory Control - State of the art systems and programs to reduce the time inventory sits on the shelf to when it is sold reducing expenses; thereby reducing prices
3. Aggressive Labor Management - In all aspects of labor management from wages and benefits to production hours.
4. Aggressive management of overhead expenses such as infrastructure maintenance, travel expenses, etc |

- bad quality
- slave labour
- therefore CHEAP labour
- making there clothes and other things in another country escapes them from not paying regular legit north american workers where you would have to pay then about 8 bucks an hour, insurance, benefits, paid vacation etc.. the people making things for wal-mart are making like 2 dollars a day.. thats why so many people protest again walmart |

They do their best to screw over their employees by not providing health benefits, and they consider 28 hours full time. They usurp third world nations for cheap labor to make their goods. If you really want to learn more for your project watch this documentary called "Wal Mart The High Cost of Low Price" it goes into every detail. I found it on google video so click the link below to watch it. It's about an hour and a half, but you'll know what you're talking about in your report:

They buy in huge bulk.
They demand big discounts from their suppliers.
They keep their stock as low as possible by demanding that suppliers deliver in such a manner that will assist that.
They keep their store and employee overhead very low. |

1. They are large enough and powerful enough to negotiate their prices with the manufactures. They even have a rule that if you are a seller you must have an office in NW Arkansas near their corparate offices. There are over 12,000 distributors, and less than half now have offices there.
2. Bulk buying power, Most companies if you order in large quantities being delivered to a single location will give price breaks. Most of Wal-mart products are delivered to a central warehouse, and Wal-mart handles the next step, by delivering to their stores.
3. Some of the products are produced at a slightly less quality in order to allow for a lower price to Wal-Mart. Levi's is one these companies which have created a product specially for Wal-Mart.
4. Because of the size of Wal-Mart and the amount of product they order and sell, they control the manufacturing company, just simply by sales volume alone. If they were to pull their contract, many of the 12,000 companies that sell to Wal-Mart would cease to exist, or at least profit. So for this reason Wal-Mart basically tells them what they will pay, and company says yes sir. |

(although I would disagree with your statement that walmart sells high quality goods) they are able to sell so cheaply because:
1. Essentially, they dictate the prices they will pay for their suppliers goods; even if it is below their (the supplier) costs.
2. They buy in the highest quantity so they get bulk discounts.
3. They don't pay high wages or benefits to hourly employees, so this greatly reduces their variable costs.
4. Companies widen profit margins by lowering costs or increasing prices-Walmart lowers their costs. |
