Case Study: Wal-Mart in Africa

IA06 – Case Study: Wal-Mart in Africa

The purpose of this assignment is to develop and demonstrate and understanding of the strategies that need to be followed by companies when entering a foreign market of which they have little experience. The point is to explore the policies that Wal-Mart, through its subsidiary Massmart, should follow in order to maximize the probability of success and to avoid future controversies that it might face regarding its business practices in Africa.
