Gangur, Adrttir, Afer gti – Gera Knverji flagi hafa hvaa a tekur keppa alheims-?
Tilbinn til notkunar gti – can’t fela a company’s skortur af tilbinn til notkunar framkvmd savvy with money or people for too long. Sooner or later you get beat by companies that excel in this capacity. Wal-Mart is known for operational excellence. They are known to execute at a degree of effectiveness and efficiency with a cost basis that makes competitors just wonder how they will ever compete.

Understanding Retail – Does China know how to service the final customer?
Retail Excellence – you need to understand your customer, you need to be able to forecast your demand chain, you need to be able to almost predict the future and shape consumer behavior if not cater to it with utmost efficiency and effectiveness. There is possibly, when compared in sheer scale of operations (Google is probably ahead of Wal-Mart in this capacity if not well ahead), no other company in the world that can even compete with Wal-Mart in terms of its depth and breadth of consumer measurement and intelligence. Wal-Mart is like a government of a highly successful country with some key differences being: Wal-Mart collects profit not tax (what is the difference anyway?), Wal-Mart probably measures their customers more than governments track and monitor their people, and Wal-Mart is seeking to extend services in their country (their store) that allows the consumer to spend every bit of all the money in their wallet or purse at the store if not more.

For those of you not in the business of retailing then we can’t even begin to describe how complicated and how complex and how rapidly changing the game of retail is and how the demand chain is not won by money or sheer strength – absolutely not. Now back to China and the challenge of their globally minded suppliers and corporations involved in selling products to the world. So…who has the size, the sheer scale, the infrastructure (global logistics, regional and national distribution centers, fleets of trucks, global telecommunication and network infrastructure, global work force operating under process driven management, global business intelligence network, global relationships, global financial management infrastructure, etc. etc. etc) to be the highway for China’s aspiring companies (Lenovo is already there, Haier is growing, others still struggling) to reach the final customer and reap the promised profits of opportunity? For now, that’s probably only Wal-Mart.

Let’s examine what FRONTLINE reported in 2004 at PBS:

“Wal-Mart has a very close relationship with China,” says Duke University Professor Gary Gereffi. “China is the largest exporter to the U.S. economy in virtually all consumer goods categories. Wal-Mart and China are a joint venture.”

So imagine…if China bought Wal-Mart then what could it do? What would that mean to sourcing direct from China? What would that mean to every company’s product in the world that isn’t in a Wal-Mart anymore because Wal-Mart is selling only Chinese (ok, ok, maybe some local country products as well)? Imagine the power of owning that demand chain…the power of owning the front door to the customer…

Once again and finally to what David Barboza published in the Global Policy Forum in 2005:

Japanese and South Korean companies like Toyota, Sony and Samsung made the moves from national to global brands quite successfully, but it took years. Analysts say Chinese companies do not have that luxury, because the rapid pace of globalization means that markets are now quickly won and lost.

“Chinese companies don’t have that much choice but to acquire overseas companies,” said Joe Chang, a China specialist at McKinsey. “Very few companies can build organically any more. If they wait 10 to 15 years, they could be dead.”

Being the world’s low-cost factory floor is no longer the country’s singular ambition, analysts say. That is perhaps why China Entrepreneur magazine recently devoted a cover story to the question, “Should China Buy Wal-Mart?”

China Buying Wal-Mart? Why not?
