One huge competitive advantage they had was their logistics. Owning their own warehouses and trucking fleet to establish better freight flow to the stores. Their replenishment system is also one of the best. 99 percent of all the merchandise in a Wal-mart store is ordered through the computer system based on what is scanned out through the registers on a daily basis.

They also stayed away from markets that were saturated with competition while they were small. They avoided larger cities and the higher costs of doing business in large cities (taxes, property costs, utilities, etc.) by purchasing less expensive land in smaller communities.

They also recruited some very good people in their developing phase. They incorporated the best ideas from those person's former companies into what they were doing. Read Sam Walton's "Made in America" for specific examples.

First off Walmart know how and were to build in growing towns to provide goods.

The real money is what is behind the doors with there distribution system, also there help in small manufactures to make more profit.

In addition to the other responses, Wal-Mart further exhibits a competitive advantage by only stocking products with proven sales yields.

In order to have your product considered to be sold at Wal-Mart, a company has to have documented proof of X% of unit sold. So they in essence are not dealing with slow mover products.

Buy in bulk and sell cheap at retail. Expand on that theme. I am not going to write out your entire debate though I could. I dont get paid enough to do that. This is free advice.

Your welcome.

Wal-Mart does several things unique. It utilizes the store-within-a-store concept and JIT or just in time inventory. Wal-Mart does not lose ground by holding on to old inventory. It also manages its labor costs very well.
