Wal-Mart is an American multinational retail corporation and one of the leading discount department retail stores (Wikipedia). It is the highest- grossing company in the United States (Fortune 2008a), and is by far one of the most successful companies worldwide. Wal-Mart offers a place to buy the majority of our goods under one roof like electronics, furniture, clothing, pharmacy, sports, food, books etc. Wal-Mart sells good at lower price than the others and this is even shown by its slogan “save money, live better”.  It drives out smaller and sometimes even the expensive stores out of business due to its lower prices. Wal-Mart provides jobs for thousands of

From my own experience, the three companies that could learn lessons from this case study are Walmart, Dollar General, and Family Dollar. To me, these three companies could all use a lot of help when it comes to product placement and meeting their customer needs (O’Brien & Marakas, 2011, p. 419-420). This brings me to the lessons to be learned from this case study. The use of the simulation technology of the virtual store environments is a brilliant concept. It is fast becoming a common practice among consumer product manufacturers and retailers (Breen, 2017). It is faster and more cost efficient than the traditional in-store product testing. It also allows a company to get a more accurate feel of the total shopping experience, just as if they were the

The three companies that I think can learn a lesson from Kimberly-Clark is Target, Kroger, and Tractor Supply Company. In the case study, it stated that Kimberly-Clark wanted to “better understand consumer behavior, and make the testing new product faster and effective.” (O'Brien & Maracas, 2011).

I think the concept of the virtual products in virtual stores gives the marketing team opportunities to see what the consumers are looking for to purchase more of what consumers are looking for. The stores I listed that I thought would benefit from this concept because I know from my experience when I go into these particular stores they are always out of certain items, or

3. What strategies could Adesemi have applied to overcome its operational problems once they occurred? What strategies might the company have applied prior to its investment?

The two retail stores I have selected are JCPenny and Macy’s. These two retail stores can be found together at many malls. For example, Westfield South Shore Mall in Bayshore on Long Island contains both JCPenny and Macy’s. Although they are not directly next to each other they are most certainly competitors. They contain many of the same brands however they both have a different approach to how they display the brand. I focused on Levi’s for men and within the Levi’s department there was other garments and accessories other than jeans.
