Organization Proposal
The following proposal entails the discussion of Wal-Mart Inc. as the organization of
choice that I am familiar with. Wal-Mart Inc. is an example of a multinational retail corporation
operating in the retail industry. The organization operates as discount subdivision stores and a
chain of grocery stores as well as hypermarkets. The organization provides both products and
services to its customers such as clothing, grocery, electronics, and furniture as some of its
products as well as Wal-Mart Pay and Wal-Mart MoneyCard as services. Wal-Mart Inc. was
founded in 1962 by Sam Walton and the organization was based in Bentonville, Arkansas as
headquarter in the United States (Successstory.com, n.d.). The organization started operating
locally in the United States but in 1991 the organization begun to expand internationally starting
with an expansion to Mexico followed by Canada. Currently, the organization operates in 28
countries with over 11,700 retail units globally. The selection of Wal-Mart Inc. can be held as a
good match for this project since this business operates as a retailer which is one of the listed
examples of type organizations to consider. Besides, the availability of information concerning
Wal-Mart business model, supply chain and customer relationship management also makes WalMart Inc. as a good organization for this project since the availability of this information will be
helpful in the other section of the project. Lastly, the facilitation of online business transactions
by Wal-Mart Inc. also makes the organization good for this project since the information of
online transactions by the company would help in completing another section of the project.
