Industry Environment - Porter's five forces of competition

1.Rivalry of Existing Competitors:

Wal-Mart has a strong competitive advantage against its competitors Kmart and Target. Rivalry in this industry is not as strong for the competitors compared to Wal-Mart. 2.Barriers to Entry:

High because it is hard to form a large organization that will be competitive at the same size as Wal-Mart with such low prices. This industry has high barriers because it is too expensive for new firms to enter and to be competitive.

3.POWER of Buyers: Weak because basically the prices are low from the beginning so there would not be any potential for buyers to bargain with.
4.POWER of Supplies: Weak because Wal-Mart uses its own distribution centers that are located close to its stores. Wal-Mart is also far and away the biggest customer of virtually all of its suppliers. It's scale of operation allowed it to bargain...

5. Substitutes: Medium because it depends on where you live and what type of Wal-Mart stores are closer to you.
Substitutes would be going to another grocery store, a toy store, a hardware store; basically going to specialty stores instead of going to one store that has everything in one, as a Wal-Mart can.
