I WILL ALSO UPLOAD MY STUDY GUIDE FOR MORE INFORMATION ON TRAIT APPROACH AND SKILLS APPROACH.

For this discussion, you will explore the relationship between financial analysis and strategic analysis in a review of the case study Walmart, Inc. in 2018: The Worlds Biggest Retailer Faces New Challenges .

A case study is a puzzle to be solved, so before reading and answering the specific questions, develop your proposed solution by following these five steps:

Record the facts from the case study which are relevant to the principles and concepts of the course area issues.

The case may have extraneous information not relevant to the current course area.

Your ability to differentiate between relevant and irrelevant information is an important aspect of case analysis, as it will inform the focus of your answers.

Choose one or two of my questions at the end of this post to pose a succinct response that shows you have thought about, and have a personal position on that issue.  Express your response with proper grammar, spelling, and be brief.  Spend more time thinking than writing your initial response.  After you have written your response but before posting, edit out all non-critical words and phrases to assure you have expressed your thoughts and feelings sufficiently for others to understand.  You may express what is in your personal background that makes you see it that way.  You can allude briefly to your own personal experiences and observations.
