Walmart has launched its Walmart To Go grocery home delivery service in a bid to gain a share of rising online spend and to counteract falling domestic sales. Although high levels of car ownership and the vast size of the US make it difficult to offer such a service nationally, the rise of online retailing along with a maturing market make the trial an imperative move for Walmart.

A new laptop with an operating system that is compatible with, though much cheaper than, laptops running the Microsoft Office system has been launched by Wal-Mart and Linspire. The low-cost laptop opens up the market to lower-income consumers, though is unlikely to convert most from tried and trusted Microsoft software.

As Wal-Mart reported strong results for the three months to July 31, 2007, chief executive Lee Scott cast a shadow, warning of tougher times ahead. Blaming rising interest rates and fuel costs, Wal-Mart's exposure to lower income earners has dealt it a blow. As a result, overcoming a less than certain economic outlook in the US will be Wal-Mart's biggest challenge going forward.

An outlet in Quebec, Canada has become one of the first Wal-Mart [WMT] stores in North America to obtain union certification. Famous for its low prices and infamous for its lower wages, Wal-Mart has long opposed such a move. In light of recent negative publicity, however, resisting unionization could create more woes for the retail giant.

Wal-Mart's Q2 net income declined by 26.0% to $2.08 billion, its first fall in profits for 10 years. It cited losses made from the disposal of its operations in Germany and South Korea. The retailer is now focusing on broadening its appeal upmarket in its core US market and this should put it in a better position to compete with fast expanding rivals such as Target.

After Wal-Mart's fiasco in Germany and Korea, a change in its expansion strategy is emerging. The retailer is understood to be planning a move into the fragmented and fast-growing Russian market via the joint venture route rather than using its considerable financial muscle for acquisitions. If it goes ahead, Russia could re-establish Wal-Mart's credentials as a truly international retailer.

Wal-Mart [WMT] has finally joined the battle against a new Californian ballot measure that would require large businesses to pay at least 80% of workers' healthcare premiums. The decision is a further example of Wal-Mart's strategy of using its corporate bulk to defend its competitiveness, despite the negative publicity that such tactics can generate.

Consumers are making fewer trips to traditional grocery stores. Supercenters' lower prices are the primary driver, given the continued uncertainty over the economy. Traditional supermarkets are getting involved in M&A activity to cut costs and prices, but a more important factor in tackling Wal-Mart will be matching its efficient category management system.
