Description
Conduct research on Amazon, Costco, Sam’s Club and Walmart.
Familiarize yourself on how each company started, their respective business model, and compare their retail/wholesale operations (pre-Covid 19 and during Covid-19).
How have all four retailers/wholesalers adapted to a Covid-19 economy, CDC protocols, and consumer needs?
Prior to Covid-19, under normal market conditions and a booming economy, with the exception of Amazon, which of the other three would you consider to be the most competitive in its segment? Why?
- In a Covid-19 economy, Amazon’s 100% e-commerce model has dominated in the consumer goods market. Has Walmart made any gains in the e-commerce segment? How can they continue to expand their e-commerce operations in oder to compete against Amazon?
