SWOT Analysis on Walmart

SWOT Analysis Here’s the scenario: You are put in charge of a large corporation and need to figure out where the company needs to go. You must develop the company’s strategy using SWOT analysis and present your plan (this report) to the board of directors.

You will be writing about:

Walmart – one of the largest, most successful companies in the world, but they are struggling internally with labor issues. They face serious competitive pressure from Amazon.com.

You should find and reference a few (at least 3-4) news articles to give background on the company’s current situation. Please follow these guidelines when writing your paper:

• Submit in Microsoft Word .doc/.docx file format

• Include a cover sheet with your name, your paper title, the date, and the paper’s word count

• Use APA style – Times New Roman, 12 pt font, 1-inch margins on all sides (top, bottom, left, and right), first line of each paragraph indented one-half inch, citations and references

• 4 pages

• Cite all sources in the body of the document when outside information is used. List all references in APA style.

Your paper is a report to the board of directors written in third person. It’s a good idea to start with a short introduction, then give some background on the company, then you write SWOT analysis, and finally provide a concluding section that summarizes the paper/report.
