Walmart's 3 Year Strategic Plan

When Walmart makes a move in the retail world (and increasingly in eCommerce and the requisite technology) folks should take note.

How about a 3 year strategic plan?

Sounds like it is worthy of a read.

Here is a snippet from the piece:

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. has unveiled a new plan to drive sales by bolstering its U.S. and e-commerce businesses.

The Bentonville, Ark.-based mega-retailer intends for its new three-year strategic framework to improve the in-store experience, use Walmart’s unique supply chain capabilities to lower costs, and establish meaningful digital relationships with shoppers.

"These are exciting times in retail, given the pace and magnitude of change," said Walmart President and CEO Doug McMillon.


Happy Reading,
