Walmart provides a detailed assessment of the world's largest retailer that forever changed the face of retailing. The book examines Walmart's successes, failures, and whether it can stay ahead for the next 50 years. Despite being a source for best practice in procurement, logistics, systems and store format innovation, the retail giant is now facing several issues that affect its future development. Starting from its inception in rural Arkansas in 1962, this objective analysis of Walmart's history addresses the rapid change of retail, including the rise of e-commerce and multi-channel retailing; Walmart International and its 'everyday low prices' philosophy; the saturation of the superstore format, and much more. In a time of rapid change, will the world's largest retailer be able to reconfigure? Walmart provides the necessary insights for retailers, advertisers, other business professionals and students to understand how Walmart became a retail giant, the lessons that can be learned, and what is in store for the future.

Amazon è la protagonista indiscussa del commercio nel ventunesimo secolo: nata come libreria online, è diventata una delle aziende più quotate al mondo ed è leader di mercato nel cloud computing e nelle tecnologie per lo shopping. Amazon illustra con autorevolezza le strategie di business del gigante dell'ecommerce, analizzando il suo ruolo di outsider e agente della disruption, e il suo impegno per creare valore a lungo termine per i clienti. Questo libro spiega come l'insoddisfazione profonda di Amazon per lo status quo l'abbia condotta a impegnarsi nella creazione di un'offerta retail senza pari, stravolgendo interi settori ma anche innovando nel ramo dell'intrattenimento, della logistica e della tecnologia per creare una customer experience inimitabile e priva di attriti. Frutto delle ricerche di analisti leader del settore, questa guida ritrae l'azienda a uno snodo cruciale della sua evoluzione: il momento in cui comprende che "l'online-only" non basta più. Analizza l'impatto della strategia click-and-mortar di Amazon, offrendo consigli preziosi ai retailer che vogliano reinventare il negozio fisico con il passaggio dalla centralità delle transazioni alla centralità delle esperienze e del servizio.

Come il retailer più inarrestabile del mondo continuerà a rivoluzionare il commercio

The retail industry is facing unprecedented challenges. Across all sectors and markets, retailers are shifting their business models and customer engagement strategies to ensure their survival. The rise of online shopping, and its primary player, Amazon, is at the heart of many of these changes and opportunities. Amazon explores the e-commerce giant's strategies, providing original insight at a time when the company is on the cusp of revolutionizing itself even further. Amazon's relentless dissatisfaction with the status quo is what makes it such an extraordinary retailer. This book explores whether Amazon has what it takes to become a credible grocery retailer, and as it transitions to bricks and mortar retailing, explores whether Amazon's stores can be as compelling as its online offering and if innovations such as voice technology, checkout-free stores and its Prime ecosystem will fundamentally change the way consumers shop. Written by industry leading retail analysts who have spent decades providing research-based analysis and opinion, Amazon analyzes the impact these initiatives will have on the wider retail sector and the lessons that can be learned from its unprecedented rise to dominance, as stores of the future become less about transactions and more about experiences.
