Abstract:
This article tests the impact of Walmart's corporate decisions to end the sale of handguns at its stores in 1994 and to discontinue the sale of all firearms at approximately 59% of its stores in 2006 before resuming firearms sales at some of those stores in 2011. Using a difference-in-differences framework, we find that that from 1994 to 2005 counties with Walmarts robustly experienced a reduction in the suicide rate and experienced no change in the homicide rate. These models suggest that Walmart's policy change caused a 3.3 to 7.5% reduction in the suicide rate within affected counties, which represents an estimated 5,104 to 11,970 lives saved over the studied period (425-998 per year). In contrast, Walmart's 2006 and 2011 decisions to discontinue and subsequently resume the sale of rifles and shotguns in many of its stores was not associated with a robustly measured effect on homicide or suicide rates. We do find evidence that Walmart's 2006 decision to reduce the number of its stores that sold firearms caused a statistically significant reduction in the suicide rate for counties in which Walmart did not subsequently resume firearms sales.

Abstract:
Purpose Walmart achieved extraordinary success and growth in its home country before embarking on a strategy of international expansion. While most of Walmart¹s international expansion efforts were successful, the retailer experienced some challenges in Germany and South Korea, exiting both less than ten years after initial entry. In 2016, Walmart announced the closure of 269 stores worldwide. Although most Walmart stores are now outside the USA, the performance of these stores lag their US counterparts. Walmart has not been able to simply export its “Everyday Low Price” approach. It is important to understand cultural differences in the way people shop in addition to understanding the market, economy and laws of various regions around the world. Design/methodology/approach Walmart’s successes and missteps in each country are analyzed. The studies looked at each country’s culture, shopping habits and discuss what worked and what did not in each country. The authors hope that managers planning international expansion will learn from the successes and failures of this giant retailer. Findings Walmart has a significant presence in Mexico, the UK, Brazil, China and Canada. It has been successful in countries where it has adapted the Walmart model to the local market. International expansion for Walmart, along with other retailers, is now being highly impacted by the growth in online shopping. However, the use of technology for shopping is not a homogenous global experience. The increased demand for online retailers suggests that firms slow down (but not stop) brick and mortar international expansion. Practical implications Considering the projected growth in online shopping, retailers with global aspirations need to have a strong and sustainable competitive advantage (e.g. products, operations, marketing and brand name reputation) in addition to a clear internationalization plan. The same factors critical to brick and mortar expansion are applicable to online growth. Having a successful, long-term presence in selected countries requires a clear understanding of each country’s infrastructure, demographics, political and economic systems, in addition to cultural awareness and an understanding of shopping practices. Social implications The growth of online shopping internationally will also fundamentally alter international expansion for Walmart and other retailers. Interestingly, Chinese shoppers may be leading the trend in online shopping, as nearly 65 percent of Chinese shoppers use their mobile phones for online shopping, are more likely to buy from off-shore online retailers and are more likely to use their mobile phones to compare prices than either Canadian or US shoppers (PWC, 2016). Walmart’s recent acquisition of Jet.com is sending a clear signal that brick and mortar shopping is not the only way to expand internationally. Originality/value This original work about Walmart’s growth strategy internationally is unique. This work will be of great value to managers thinking of expanding internationally. The non-embracing of local cultural habits and use of non-local managers is something that can be easily overlooked when thinking of expansion. Serious financial consequences can be easily avoided by being aware of the mistakes that others have made.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to understand the role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) communications in business by merging previously unconnected lines of thought in communications and law. Using Walmart as an example, the study shows that CSR communication can legitimize a corporation’s autonomous legal system of regulation and governance over its business practices. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative case study of all online corporate communications webpages from Walmart was examined. Discourse and qualitative analyses were used to show how language and online communications practices created actional legitimacy for Walmart’s CSR practices. Findings Using the UN’s Guiding Principles for Business as a framework for analysis, the study demonstrated how CSR communications helps Walmart to establish its own system of CSR norms, structures and remediation processes for its business outside of the state. These communications also sought to legitimize these actions among stakeholders. Research limitations/implications This case study looks at one corporation (Walmart) to illustrate a new connection between CSR communication and legitimacy. Future research in communications can extend this line of inquiry by examining how communications can reinforce autonomous legal systems and public perceptions. Originality/value Backer’s (2007) autonomous legal system and the concept of actional legitimacy in communications have not yet been studied systematically. This case study demonstrates how CSR communications can legitimize a multinational corporation’s business practices, which, in turn, raises ethical considerations for the ways this communication serves the greater society.

Abstract:
<p class="Keywords">The main objective of this study is to present the Walmart’s financial performance, making the important valuation of the company. The study used quantitative method using secondary sources. The finding of this descriptive study is that Walmart is the lucrative choice for the past, present and future investors with the estimation of terminal value at the end of the fiscal year 2026 estimated US $580 billion and the fundamental value of US $736 billion. The result shows that due to the emergence of stronger competitors and for being matured, Walmart is not performing as expected by investors, but its gigantic market size will make it capable of doing business profitably over a longer period of time. The ultimate decision given for the investors is to buy. The assumption is made on in-depth financial analysis with reliable data and calculation. The study has noteworthy importance to the financial market stakeholders.</p>

Abstract:
La dissolution de l’établissement de Walmart à Jonquière fut une suite immédiate de l’accréditation du syndicat des salariés du lieu. La problématique mit en opposition concrète ces deux libertés : la liberté de commerce de l’employeur et la liberté d’association des 190 salariés qui y travaillaient. Pourtant, l’article 59 du Code du travail impose à l’employeur, dont les salariés sont maintenant représentés par un syndicat accrédité, de maintenir le statu quo ante du moins jusqu’à l’acquisition du droit au lock-out ou à la grève (art 59, al 2 Ct)! À la suite de cette dissolution de l’établissement de Jonquière se posa cette double question en droit : parce que la Cour ne crut pas disposer du pouvoir d’annuler la dissolution de l’établissement de Jonquière ni d’ordonner, en conséquence, la reprise des activités en ce même lieu, elle se refusa à ordonner la réintégration au travail de ces 190 salariés, de plus, la Cour suprême reconnut que l’arbitre qui intervint au différend (art 93.1 Ct – première convention collective), puis qui fut désigné par les parties à titre d’arbitre de grief, dispose à ce dernier titre du pouvoir de réparation nécessaire. Ainsi, la Cour suprême du Canada s’en remit à cet arbitre de grief pour en traiter et en tirer les conclusions juridiques et pratiques qui pourraient s’imposer. Les deux juges dissidents considérèrent que l’article 59 Ct était inapplicable en cette affaire et qu’il aurait fallu d’abord établir si le démantèlement de l’établissement fut un acte antisyndical de la part de Walmart. Nous notons que l’on semble parfois, en cet arrêt, confondre les concepts d’« entreprise » et d’« établissement », du moins selon le libellé de certains énoncés. Une telle confusion des termes ne pourrait-elle pas être aussi porteuse d’éventuelles malheureuses interprétations ou extrapolations?

Nesse contexto, as empresas podem contribuir com essa perspectiva, já que possuem diferentes interações sociais quanto ao CS seguindo a ideia de: (1) desenvolvimento de novas práticas e tecnologias; (02) mudanças nos incentivos econômicos; e (3) mudanças na cultura da rede de influências. Desse modo, percebendo essa possibilidade de atuação, toma-se como pergunta de pesquisa: Como práticas responsáveis adotadas pelas empresas a partir de um conjunto de interações sociais com seus stakeholders podem contribuir para com o consumo sustentável? Na busca de sua resolução, utilizou-se o modelo de Michaelis (2003) como norteador das análises realizadas, bem como o estudo das práticas adotadas pelo Walmart Brasil na cidade de Recife/PE como caso que pode contribuir para o entendimento do CS no setor de supermercados, com foco na marca Hiper Bompreço. Baseando-se na perspectiva paradigmática positivista utilizada, a pesquisa tem como abordagem predominante a qualitativa, mas faz uso também de dados quantitativos para compreensão do fenômeno, ao utilizar como métodos de verificação o levantamento bibliográfico e documental, entrevistas semi-estruturadas, questionários e observação direta não-participante. Com a pesquisa, identificaram-se como categorias teóricas: Eco-eficiência, Práticas próprias de consumo, Incentivos do governo, Elos na cadeia de suprimentos, Edição de escolha, Cidadania corporativa, Marketing responsável e Diálogo com stakeholders, que podem ser utilizadas juntamente com os critérios e parâmetros que foram definidos. Com os resultados, observou-se que mesmo com ações favoráveis nesse sentido, o Walmart Brasil possui muitos critérios aquém do necessário para uma contribuição efetiva. A partir dessas considerações, percebe-se como principal contribuição da pesquisa a articulação teórica realizada, já que se esquematizou uma forma de operacionalizar o modelo e identificou-se a necessidade de inserção do ator Organizações do Terceiro Setor que não estava contemplado na rede de influência de Michaelis (20003). Além disso, há uma contribuição empírica na medida em que a empresa desenvolve práticas empresariais responsáveis, contribuindo efetivamente para a evolução das discussões sobre a temática

El alcance de este proyecto es total y transversal a Walmart Chile, se incluyen todos sus formatos de supermercados: Líder, Express de Líder, Súper Bodega aCuenta y Ekono, así como también las otras unidades de negocio que reportan ingresos. A partir de una metodología general de trabajo basada en los procesos, las personas, la tecnología y los sistemas, se planteó un modelo de situación deseada en contraste con la situación actual, describiendo las brechas existentes y cuáles serían las iniciativas para realizar el cierre de las mismas brechas. Producto de lo anterior se diseñó una estrategia que disminuyó el alto grado de atomización presente en el servicio actual, se eliminaron duplicidades en los servicios y se revisó con detalle y en contraste cada punto importante para el modelo propuesto. Este plan también abordó temas de flujo de procesos, análisis comercial y de mercado, tópicos legales y planificación de la implementación. Los resultados muestran que existen expectativas de percibir ahorros por $3.567.- millones de pesos chilenos y también alcanzar importantes mejoras en el plano operacional que redundarán en un proceso más optimizado y acorde a las necesidades actuales del negocio.

Abstract:
Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited<br>From 1961 to present day, Walmart has expanded its number of Supercenters to 3,336 locations throughout the continental United States, growing to be the most readily accessible grocer in the lower forty-eight states. This thesis will demonstrate that concentrated populations of active duty and retired military personnel are subject to shorter commutes when shopping at Walmart Supercenters rather than military commissaries. This thesis will further demonstrate that the average military base is closer to a Walmart than a military commissary and that the average number of Walmart Supercenters exceeds the number of commissaries within specific distances from military bases. With rising fuel costs and the number of Walmart Supercenters available nationwide, eligible commissary patrons may be less willing to drive long distances in order to save money on groceries. The closer and more convenient option may best serve the needs of the military customer. If better alternatives exist outside of the commissary, the government can reexamine the practicality of dedicating annual appropriations to the Defense Commissary Agency.

Abstract:
Memoria para optar al título de Periodista<br>Diciembre de 2008 fue un mes especial para el sector supermercadista nacional. En una operación sin precedentes en Chile, la compañía norteamericana Walmart –reconocida por ser la empresa más grande del mundo– anunciaba su arribo a Chile, a través de una operación de fusión con la principal firma supermercadista chilena, D&S, propietaria de la marca Líder. Las inquietudes no tardaron en aparecer. Los agentes del mercado especulaban sobre el efecto que la llegada de Walmart tendría en él. Los consumidores, algunos por primera vez, escuchaban que el gigante Walmart traería campañas de precios bajos, que irían en su beneficio, pero que podría tener altos costos para los principales competidores en el mercado chileno (Cencosud, Tottus –controlado por Falabella–, Supermercados del Sur, entre otros). Sin embargo, la mayor incertidumbre recayó sobre los trabajadores de la compañía. “No sabíamos si íbamos a seguir trabajando con la misma gerencia, si iban a ocurrir cambios y no sabíamos mucho cómo iban a llegar ellos acá”1. En medio de un escenario tan incierto, la compañía inició una campaña comunicacional que tenía dos objetivos principales: disminuir la incertidumbre y aumentar el nivel de compromiso de los trabajadores, fomentando el orgullo de pertenecer a una organización como Walmart. La campaña se llevó a cabo en dos etapas, la primera enfocada únicamente en reducir los niveles de ansiedad y la segunda, orientada a reforzar los valores de la compañía, integrando elementos de la cultura de D&S y la de Walmart. En esta investigación, relataremos cómo D&S abordó desde el punto de vista comunicacional, el proceso de cambio de propiedad, detallando los procesos que se implementaron durante los dos primeros años de integración entre las compañías. Pero el relato no estará centrado sólo en los procesos, también en las percepciones y visiones que los trabajadores de la compañía han tenido al respecto. Veremos que, pese a que los ejecutivos de D&S señalaron desde un comienzo que la integración entre ambas compañías no sería tan compleja, dado que desde hace años D&S trabajaba en base a los principios de la firma norteamericana, los procesos comunicativos no estuvieron exentos de dificultades, al menos en el período inicial. Cómo llegamos a analizar este proceso: Partimos de la base de que la fusión entre D&S y Walmart traería cambios importantes en la forma de hacer las cosas dentro de la organización. Incluso así lo han señalado los propios ejecutivos de D&S al mencionar que la llegada de Walmart llevará a la compañía a incorporar nuevas prácticas para optimizar su gestión y para alinearse con los métodos de la empresa norteamericana.

This study is an analysis of the worldwide retail activities in order to verify how the use of Big Data can contribute to the construction of customer value, focused on the American retailer Walmart. Through a case study, it was possible to identify how innovative and technologyfocused positioning in information analysis has brought benefits to the company, creating customer value and exceeding its expectations. Among the results found in the US operation there are the growth of purchases made online with the option to pick up in a physical store and in the number of customers that choose the use of geolocation in order to speed up the purchase process and, in Brazil there are reduction in the number of complaints, growth of interactions with customers in social networks and increased sales online<br>Mudanças no acesso à informação conduziram o consumidor a um novo patamar; os consumidores hoje em dia estão mais acessíveis para recebimento, busca e difusão de informação a qualquer hora ou lugar.

Abstract:
The purpose of this research was to conduct an ex-post review of the Walmart-Massmart merger remedy, focusing on the impact of the supplier development fund on the SMMEs it supported. The research also considered the impact of the supplier development fund on Walmart-Massmart as the buying firm as well as the use of a panel of experts in designing the fund and how this affected the outcomes achieved. This qualitative research was conducted as a single-sample case study. Interviews were conducted with a representative of Walmart-Massmart, some of the suppliers who participated in the fund, and one of the experts who was on the panel of experts used by the Competition Appeals Court. The research found that the supplier development fund assisted the suppliers with funding for capital expenditure, working capital, access to markets, improved governance and operational efficiencies.

Made available in DSpace on 2016-04-25T16:45:28Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Eduardo Pereira de Souza Nogueira.pdf: 1385609 bytes, checksum: 15cf97df7b95578fbf8090febfeb2039 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010-06-09<br>Currently, there has been a growing discussion of the environmental impact on consumption patterns, in which lifestyles and society s consumption models are increasingly being questioned. As a result of this new relationship with the environment, of both consumers and society, the opportunity to use Marketing geared to sustainability applied to private label products of large supermarket chains in the country arises. Retail plays a key role in the day-to-day life of individuals, and may be an agent of attitude and behavioral change of consumers, since such consumers change may ensure the necessary resources for the future generations. The present study aims at analyzing the use of green marketing as a tool for building a competitive advantage for private label brands in the supermarket segment. By searching authors such as Reginaldo Dias, Nirmalya Kumar, Jan-Benedict Steenkamp, Michael Porter and Zymunt Bauman, in addition to field work involving interviews with professionals from two of the largest supermarket chains in the Brazilian market, an analysis was carried out as to how these organizations use green marketing in the management of their own brands. It was finally concluded that the social concern of the sustainable development of the planet leads to an environmental concern in all segments: economy, education and politics. Although social responsibility is discussed today, this research reveals that the actions are still very subtle, and green marketing actions regarding private label brands are still incipient<br>Atualmente se intensifica a discussão do impacto ambiental dos padrões de consumo, e cada vez mais se questionam o estilo de vida e os moldes de consumo da sociedade. Como resultado dessa nova relação com o meio ambiente, tanto por parte de consumidores quanto pela sociedade, surge a oportunidade do uso do Marketing orientado para a sustentabilidade aplicado aos produtos de marcas próprias das grandes redes de supermercados do país. O varejo desempenha um papel fundamental na vida cotidiana dos indivíduos e pode ser um agente de transformação de atitudes e de comportamentos dos consumidores, pois a mudança do comportamento do consumidor poderá garantir os recursos necessários para as próximas gerações. O presente estudo procura analisar o uso do marketing verde como ferramenta para a construção de diferencial competitivo para produtos de marcas próprias no segmento de supermercados. Por meio de uma pesquisa bibliográfica de autores como Reginaldo Dias, Nirmalya Kumar, Jan-Benedict Steenkamp, Michael Porter e Zymunt Bauman, além de trabalho de campo com entrevistas junto às duas maiores redes de supermercados do mercado brasileiro, foi verificado e analisado como essas organizações utilizam do marketing verde no gerenciamento de suas marcas próprias. Considerou-se ao final que a preocupação social do desenvolvimento sustentável do planeta desperta uma preocupação ambiental em todos os segmentos: economia, educação e política. Hoje, se fala em responsabilidade social, porém a pesquisa revela que as ações ainda são muito sutis e as ações de marketing verde, nos produtos de marcas próprias, são ainda incipientes

Abstract:
The emergence and acceptance of social media have become a crucial aspect of daily lives in the worldwide population. As a result of this phenomenon, it is not surprising that customers’ buying patterns exhibit continuous change. For capturing the experience of consumers during their visit to a retail store, previous studies have proposed in-store customer experience (ISCX) scale from data captured through traditional methods like survey research. Accordingly, ISCX is conceived as a subjective internal response to and interaction with the physical retail environment. The present study builds upon prior research and we take the concept of ISCX with the purpose of developing an automated model for capturing ISCX from data collected through a social network like Facebook. This approach offers a low-cost, real-time alternative to traditional elicitation methods. We gathered data from English written contents by Facebook users and collected approximately 1,6 million comments made in public sites belonging to 50 companies worldwide (e.g. Clothing and jewelry retailers, whole Box and electronics Stores), including IKEA, Samsung, Whole Foods, Walmart, Tiffany, Victoria Secret, and Dillards. Five reviewers manually checked the messages filtered by the automated model, resulting in a high accuracy, confirming the high effectiveness of the model in classifying Facebook written messages. Keywords: Customer Experience; Machine Learning; Data Classification; Text Mining.
