Against the backdrop of the strongest consumer market in over a decade, supported by near 50 year-low unemployment, robust consumer spending and strong 18 year-high consumer confidence, the 2018 holiday season brought healthy results for a select number of retailers, particularly those executing a strategy designed for the new world order of retailing. It also amplified the ongoing narrative of the industry’s big getting stronger – one of the themes highlighted in this paper. Despite this reasonably positive setting, we have entered 2019 amidst market volatility, a nascent trade war with China and the prospects of a slowdown in global growth, particularly in China and Europe. Any combination of such factors could once again cloud the retail sector picture and challenge retailers less prepared for change. With an eye towards these developing factors, we evaluate the trends shaping retail today and spotlight the critical themes we believe will impact retail deal-making in 2019.

    Is Wal-Mart Good for America?

    Frontline Is Wal-Mart Good for America? One, Two, Three, Four … We Don’t Want Your Superstore Across the country communities weigh the costs and benefits of opening their doors to the nation's largest discount retailer. Wal-Mart has made billions selling toaster ovens and polo shirts for pennies less than its competitors; after all, the company motto is "Always low prices." And who wouldn't want cheaper goods? Yet some communities are fighting to keep the retail giant out of their neighborhoods, claiming that Wal-Mart's low prices could damage their quality of life. In Vermont, Wal-Mart's opponents argue that the state's economy and culture would be damaged by the retailer's presence. In California, opponents say the company has cost taxpayers millions by shortchanging its employees on healthcare. Here is a roundup of some instances of community backlash against Wal-Mart and the company's response. Superstore vs. small business Activists regularly argue that competition from Wal-Mart destroys small businesses, particularly the "mom and pop" stores that they say make their communities unique. This criticism has become even more vocal since Wal-Mart began moving into additional retail areas, such as groceries, opticals and flowers. In an article in the Los Angeles Times, one small businesswoman, Bonnie Neisius, owner of a UPS franchise in Las Vegas, Nev., described how she has watched surrounding businesses close and her own business decline since Wal-Mart moved in down the road. "I'm probably down 45 percent," Neisius said. "I just don't get the foot traffic anymore." More recently, the retailer has come under attack in Vermont, where preservationists say the character, culture and economy of the entire state is under threat from an influx of superstores, particularly Wal-Mart.

    Large Supermarkets (Co-Op, Morrisons)

    Useful information for new students – including tips from current students On-line shopping options: The delivery services are more expensive but can deliver quickly. Deliveroo https://deliveroo.co.uk/– take away food and also pairs with small and large supermarkets (Co-op, Morrisons) UberEats – https://www.ubereats.com take away and grocery deliveries from smaller super markets/local shops and a few of the larger supermarkets e.g. Asda Amazon pantry and Morrisons https://www.amazon.co.uk/ Student tip: You can get a free amazon prime membership for 6 months with your student account, so you can order a lot of necessities on there the day you arrive and it’ll deliver the next day usually, this might help to free up space in your suitcase. Large supermarkets (cheapest to most expensive) Lidl: no online service currently Aldi: click and collect service but no on-line delivery Asda https://www.asda.com/ Tesco https://www.tesco.com/ Morrisons https://groceries.morrisons.com/ Sainsbury's https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/ Ocado (paired with Marks and Spencer) https://accounts.ocado.com/ Student tips: It is worth signing up for a few supermarkets so you have options if you can’t get a slot you want. Remember to book before you completely run out as you will likely have to wait for a slot. On the first day you move in, I’d say book an online slot to get your groceries delivered to halls by Tesco, Asda or Sainsbury’s. You usually have to book a slot a week or two earlier and you can do it from home.

  • Walmart Inc. Takes on Amazon.Com

    Walmart Inc. Takes on Amazon.Com

    For the exclusive use of Q. Mays, 2020. 9-718-481 REV: JANUARY 21, 2020 DAVID COLLIS ANDY WU REMBRAND KONING HUAIYI CICI SUN Walmart Inc. Takes on Amazon.com At the start of 2018, Walmart faced critical decisions about its future as e-commerce continued to explode. Walmart just lost its long-held crown as the most valuable retailer in the world to online leader Amazon. With Amazon’s recent acquisition of Whole Foods for $13 billion, Amazon moved aggressively into the offline world to challenge Walmart in its biggest business, grocery. Walmart was not standing still, making moves like buying Jet.com for $3 billion in 2016. While Walmart’s U.S. e- commerce revenues grew to $11.5 billion in 2017, there was no debate in Bentonville, AR: Walmart remained far behind. The question for Walmart CEO Doug McMillon and Walmart.com head Marc Lore was how to respond to its most aggressive competitor ever (Exhibits 1a and 1b).1 Amazon The Early Years (1994–2001) Jeff Bezos founded Amazon in 1994 to exploit the Internet, still a relatively nascent technology. He determined that selling books online was most promising, because the number of titles available was greater than even the largest brick-and-mortar store could stock. Bezos and his wife drove west to start “Earth’s Biggest Bookstore” in Seattle, WA. Amazon offered 1 million titles for sale on its opening day in July 1995. Next year, the company had over 2.5 million book titles for sale, with revenue doubling every quarter (Exhibit 2).
