Wal-Mart Statistical Data
When looking at statistical data in businesses it is important to that there needs to be decisions in order to reach a conclusion about a particular scenario. When looking at Wal-Mart you can see that there is statistical data that shows that they are in a monopoly. This data is seen by their power in the business and their dominance over other businesses. They need to make a decision about how to regulate their future business policies. We can use research methods in order to reach a conclusion about what the company can do in order to better satisfy its customers and competitors. One way of doing this is to follow a customer survey where random people are selected and questioned about the store and the way the employees are functioning. In doing the surveys Wal-Mart can narrow down the problems within the stores. It can compile a set of question to the customers asking about the service, on hand products, outages and the team members, doing this the business can better serve the community based on the answers and the feedback from the survey. By breaking down the survey by gender, age and race the company will have a much broader approach on the problem.
