the opportunity and control competitiveness with other competitors within the industry, and
hence it will remain competitive (
Anholt,
2016).
Another aspect that leads to tarnished image of the company is gender imbalance. The
corporation needs to take different measures to address this issue. For instance, the corporation
may re-assess different job specifications especially for the top management positions. In
Walmart Corporation, female employees are mostly attached to bottom post for the reason that
females are perceived as weak and incompetent enough to handle top positions. For this reason,
there is need to modify the qualifications for the top positions so as to fit female employees. This
will ensure gender balance in the staff distribution among job posts. The company also need to
get rid of the gender salary gap. This is through increasing transparency within the organization
through explaining to the staff members the criteria used in determining their respective salary in

such a way that female employees get less salaries than their male colleagues. Solving gender
imbalances within the corporation will also play a significant role in building a positive
reputation of the company in the eyes of the community.
Greatest opportunity presented to Walmart Corporation
The greatest opportunity presented to Walmart Corporation is its expansion in developing
countries (
kATIUSCIA
& VEIGA,
2018). This has been strongly founded on the high growth
economic conditions. Over the years, Walmart has grown in terms of its organizational size in
such a way that it has become a global company. This has given the corporation a bigger
opportunity to grow as it invests more internationally. The company has earned itself an
international supply chain, which has further increased the company’s resilience from threats that
may arise from specified markets.
The corporation should take advantage of this opportunity to create new markets for its
products. This will enable the organization to conquer new areas and also reach more customers,
and consequently increase its sales and profit margin (
Noe.et.al,
2017).
The corporation may also use the opportunity to diversify its assets. Such activities
ensure the company’s safety especially against unpredictable events. For example, successfully
venturing into different markets could maintain the company’s profitability through offsetting the
deteriorating markets. The company could also use the opportunity to diversify the products
offered through making enquiries of necessary products that may ensure continuous flow of
revenue (
Gillespie,
2015).
The opportunity also gives the Walmart Corporation an upper hand in gaining
competitive advantage over the other competitors. For instance, the corporation could expand its

markets to levels that the other opponents may not reach. This will enable the company to create
a strong awareness of its brand among the global clients ahead of the opponents.
