Should Walmart have pursued e-commerce more aggressively sooner? 300 words

Answer 1

Solution:-No,Walmart should not pursued e-commerce more aggressively sooner.It would not shown the obvious impact on the e-commerce more aggressively.It is not obvious that Wal-Mart should have pursued e-commerce vigorously prior to 1999. Few consumers were on-line prior to 1999, and those that were on-line tended to be more affluent (not the typical Wal-Mart customer). Note that a potential disconnect exists between Wal-Mart’s traditional customer base (mid to lower income families) and the higher income consumer who can afford the hardware, software, and connectivity services required to be on-line. Until the cost of getting connected falls to the point that traditional Wal-Mart shoppers are on-line, or public access to the internet through institutions like local libraries becomes broader, investing a lot to create Wal-Mart.com may not be warranted even now.
