Introduction
I am planning to set up a franchise of WalMart. This paper will analyse the network, sector and entrepreneurial ecosystem of the venture. Further, it will be discussed about the key actors and characteristics of all the aspects.
Overview
Sam Walton created the corporation in 1962, and it was incorporated on October 31, 1969. Walmart has “10,593 shops and clubs in 24 countries as of January 31, 2022, operating under 48 distinct names”.

The average full-line food distribution facility is “850,000 to 1.0 million square feet in size and employs 750 to 800” warehouse workers (Mounika, Sahithi, Grishmi, Sindhu & Ganesh, 2021). The food distribution networks of Walmart and Sam's Club have merged over time to capture synergies for logistical cost-cutting objectives, particularly on the perishables side of the business.
Walmart has installed high-rise stack cranes that store incoming pallets automatically. Restock multi-level picking modules where traditional voice directed picking to a double pallet jack or pick to belt is done. One of Walmart's issues is that it is such a...
