Introduction
Wal-Mart has been one of the organizations in the forefront of initiating partnerships with the community in its operations (Fishman, 2012). As a result, the organization has initiated programs to reinforce the commitments of stimulating economic development, expanding access to the affordable groceries and creating quality jobs within the city. It is among the biggest corporations not only in America but across the globe with more than 1 million employees and with revenue that exceeds $250 billion (Berg & Roberts, 2012). It is a corporation experiencing a steady growth which has been attributed to the innovative and the revolutionary business strategies emphasizing complicated chain management and cutting on the overall operational costs. It has adopted business models that have transformed patterns used in the retail and wholesale trade. This is in addition to the adoption of the latest logistics strategies involving the transportation and the distribution of the commodities (Brunn, 2014). Wal-Mart has been offering a wide variety of products at relatively lower prices than most of its competitors. Moreover, the company adopts most of the intelligent people as its employees, and this makes it generate a considerable amount of sales as well as property tax for the locally residing communities (Berg & Roberts, 2012).
Wal-Mart historical background
Wal-Mart evolved from the Walton’s zeal for value and great customer service and opened Wal-Mart in Rogers, Arkansas in 9162 (Ferguson, 2015). Many of the competitors thought offering great discount for customers would never work. Much to the surprise among the competitors the idea even went beyond Sam’s expectations. Wal-Mart became public in 1970 and proceedings greatly financed the business expansion (Wal-Mart, 2015) .Sam credited the expansion of the business not only in the low prices offered but also to the business associates. This is because, he depended on them to give a great experience to the customers that would continuously enable them to always come back. Sam made his vision become known among his associates in ways which were almost unheard within the industry. He partnered with the associates to enhance the success of the organization.as the stores began to grow, so did his aspirations (Wal-Mart, 2015). He began experimenting with new stores, bringing new approaches and best retail technologies. His fearlessness in setting the prices below the market standard created more value in the customers which has enabled it to be one of the largest retail chains in the world. After receiving a Medal of Freedom, he died in 1992 although his left a continuous legacy (Vance, Scott, & Perkins, 2014).

The company’s core values and beliefs are founded on striving for excellence, service to customers’, respect for individual and acting with integrity. In each week that passes, statistics indicate that more than one hundred customers shop at Wal-Mart. It is evident that ten out of eight Americans usually shop at Wal-Mart stores and this is due to their reduced prices. This move has encouraged a large number of potential Americans to do mass shopping at the store, however .
This document discusses how corporations can create shared value by addressing social problems through their business operations. It argues that achieving shared value requires significant shifts in how companies do business, including having a top-down strategy and leadership commitment to integrating social impact into the core business model. The document outlines forces driving more companies to adopt shared value approaches, such as expanding into developing markets, addressing environmental and social issues, and meeting increasing stakeholder expectations for corporate social responsibility.

The world vision
The world vision in its mission to providing for the needs of orphaned children and the less fortunate in the world especially the developing countries has been faced by some problems. The sponsorship of some children is sometimes falsified and it is always based on false information that may be provided to the sponsor. This shows that the sponsors are sometimes made to believe that there contribution is being given directly to the children under sponsorship yet the funds are for the whole community. Corruption at local levels is also a problem to the world vision because most of the funds that are supposed to help the poor are diverted and given to those who are able due to corruption hence it seizes to be beneficial to the targeted group. Political conflicts also affect the world vision, the procedures are sometimes not followed and therefore aid is given to some people who can be felt to be of benefit to a particular person or group of persons (Roth, 2015).
These problems are caused by increased poverty especially in developing countries and people work not to benefit the community but to benefit themselves. Greed is another cause to the problem where an individual cannot be contented with what he or she receives from servicing. Lack of knowledge and awareness of community is another reason that makes the organization staff not to fear providing false information because the community members can rarely defend themselves. Mostly the organization staff is the one that causes the problems by exaggerating or falsifying information. In order to solve this problem the world vision should at least ensure that the living condition of the staff providing service to the community is good to avoid temptation of using the fund. The community should also be taught about the organization and its importance to the community. There should be frequent communication between the sponsors and sponsored to ensure that funds are used as expected (Roth, 2015).
The Pepsi Company
The major problem that Pepsi faces is competition from Coca-Cola Company which happens to produce almost the same type of product as Pepsi. The company is also facing a problem I the decli9nng soda consumption. This is due to the health implications that the beverage has more of carbonate which results to obese. The consumers tend to go for the less fat and less or no calorie products and this is the cause to their problem. Competition lessens profit when some consumers prefer the product of the competitor hence it reduces the productivity of the company. Losses are as well realized when consumers prefer other product to the ones produced by the Pepsi company hence the main objective of the company is violated are tends to be void (Louw, 2012)
The competition problem can be solved by the company being innovative and coming up with marketing strategies that is effective to the company. Strategies such as advertising and enhancing supply methods to ensure that produc ...

Meeting the challenges of globalization3Brian Berger
This document summarizes a speech given by the president and CEO of the National Retail Federation (NRF) about the challenges of globalization for retailers. It discusses how retailers are choosing to move forward despite economic uncertainty and concerns about globalization. It also describes how charitable giving and social responsibility are becoming increasingly important for retailers, both domestically and globally, as consumers expect companies to support local communities. Retailers must balance the need to expand globally with sensitivity to local cultures and standards.
This document provides an analysis of Walmart Corporation and proposes strategies and sustainable solutions. It begins by examining Walmart's stakeholders, including internal stakeholders like employees and external stakeholders like customers and suppliers. It then analyzes the general remote environment using PEST analysis, identifying economic growth and political stability as opportunities. Finally, it assesses Walmart's industry environment using Porter's Five Forces model, finding that low product differentiation and switching costs pose threats. The document recommends Walmart shift from a pure cost leadership strategy to a hybrid strategy incorporating elements of differentiation.
This document discusses the importance of brands becoming useful to consumers in 2020 and beyond. It introduces the Bleublancrouge/Ipsos Utility Barometer, which measures six drivers of brand utility - captivate, co-exist, mobilize, inspire, challenge, and collaborate. The barometer was used to survey Canadians on over 100 brands. Key findings include that co-existing with consumers by making their daily lives easier has the most significant impact on perceived brand utility. Going forward, brands need to focus on problem-solving, demonstrating continued commitment, and acting on a human scale to build lasting relationships with consumers.

A STUDY ON THE GROWTH, EVOLUTION, BENEFITS AND KEY CHALLENGES OF CAUSE RELATE...IAEME Publication
To keep up with the escalating competition and the demand for product and brand distinctiveness, business organisations are developing cutting-edge marketing strategies. Cause-related marketing is one such strategy that first appeared in the 1980s. This marketing strategy's success inspired numerous new business ventures, and its adoption rate rose significantly over time, notably in more recent years. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the root of cause-related marketing (CRM). The idea of corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been extensively established and discussed. While CSR stresses on altruistic function of a corporate enterprise, CRM demonstrates a means to turn that compassion into a successful investment. The goal of the current study was to provide a conceptual basis of the concept of CRM, as well as information on its evolution, growth, advantages, and significant implementation-related issues. To make this concept clearer, data was gathered from several secondary sources. In an effort to make it more successful and productive, the researcher has offered advice and suggested actions.

Rahma International is a non-profit organization located in Kuwait that provides humanitarian aid in over 40 countries. It focuses on operational issues and delivering services, but has overlooked developing its brand and relationships with donors. This paper analyzes Rahma International using Porter's six forces model to understand the competitive environment and identifies opportunities to attract more funding. Specifically, it finds that the organization's global reach makes it difficult to build a coherent brand image. It also faces increasing competition from other non-profits and potential new entrants. The paper recommends Rahma International develop a clearer understanding of its target donors and build its reputation to attract more support.

Starbucks
As an American company and coffee shop franchise, Starbucks was founded in 1971, Seattle, Washington in 1971. With well over 15,000 outlets globally, the company has been considered as the world’s leading coffee vendor with the majority of the outlets being located in North America (“Company Information”, 2018). As of 2014, the company was estimated to be having a market value of close to $100 Billion. However, this could not have been possible without globalization; globalization has allowed the company to expand beyond the boundaries of the American Nation and influence the economies of other countries. It has also allowed various political powers to interact thus promoting cooperation and finally it has been able to tap into economies that have raised the value of the brand such as that of China and Europe (“Company Information”, 2018). In 2003, Starbucks began its expansion to foreign countries exploiting its potential and thus promoted their economies through the “Starbucks Effect.” This was the emergence of various coffee shops competing with the franchise in selling coffee (Kang & Namkung, 2017). The internet of things can be regarded as one of the most influential aspects that have allowed Starbucks to grow and dominate most markets globally. The company is aggressive in implementing change and this is inclusive of their machines. The company always installs the latest in machinery that allows the outlets to operate at maximum efficiency. Moreover, technology has allowed the franchise to have better interaction with its clients through online tracking of consumer preference. This tracking allows the company to understand what the client expects of the company and makes the necessary changes (Kang & Namkung, 2017). Finally, the company relies on online platforms for the employment of their staff as conventional means are not only expensive but extremely time-consuming.
As stated earlier, the “Starbucks effect” has been influential in the development of various economies through competition. Starbucks as a franchise has created a competitive environment in various markets that has resulted in the company being innovative in its marketing strategies (Kang & Namkung, 2017). This pressure to remain at the top can allow the company to generate above-average returns. Moreover, the brand is recognized by clients globally, this is the only advantage the company has considering that many locals may have other preferences towards other coffee vendors. In the Industrial Organization model, the company already qualifies as being attractive as its management and operation strategies are simple thus giving it room for more modifications to be applied. Moreover, the company applies the strategy of economies of scale whereby, due to its vast size it retails its products at a low and affordable price. This makes the company attractive ...

In American politics, people often compare their enemies to Hitler o.docxcharisellington63520
In American politics, people often compare their enemies to Hitler or to the Nazis. Many Democrats compared Trump to a "fascist," and Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez famously compared child detention facilities to "concentration camps." (Republicans claimed this was an unfair comparison and disrespectful to the real victims of the Holocaust.) On the other hand, Republicans often claim that their Democratic enemies are like Hitler, and often whine that "the Left" is persecuting them similar to how the Nazis persecuted the Jews ("cancel culture" is like the Holocaust, wearing a mask is like wearing a yellow star, etc.). Obviously these are exaggerated, bad comparisons, and are more about scoring political points than teaching history accurately.
But is it
always
wrong and disrespectful to draw comparisons or lessons from the Holocaust? Isn't it possible--while being respectful and acknowledging all the differences that make the Holocaust uniquely horrible--to try to draw lessons from it and prevent anything like it in the future? What comparisons or lessons for the present, if any, can we learn from the Holocaust?
Using specific evidence/examples/comparisons from the primary source you analyzed, please make a specific argument about a lesson or comparison
you might draw from the Holocaust. I'm not interested in your general/vague opinions about politics or Holocaust comparisons. I want you to carefully and respectfully (not politically) draw a lesson from something you learned in your document/film.

American opinion has indeed shaped politic consequences, political interests, and policymaking. Even with little or no interest in policymaking and politics, the assumption of democracy gives the citizens the power to freely air out their issues and give their opinion in matters of political concern. Taking the war in Iraq, it posed a significant economic and political imbalance. However, support from the politicians was negligible. And because a majority of the Americans opposed the war in Iran, they voted for a Democratic congressional candidate. Their opinion played a great deal in making concrete policies in response to the war in Iraq.
Public opinion is a reflection of the citizens’ view on how the government responds to national politics. Political actions are driven by the citizen’s opinion (Erikson, & Tedin, 2015). It sheds light on the outcomes of specific policies and helps the political candidates identify the characters demanded of them by the citizens. Political scholars argued that the perception of old public opinions was changed because of ambiguity and inaccuracy (Dür, 2019). Modern theories came to identify public opinion as either latent or a broad expression. Latent opinions are formed on the spot, while broad expressions are opinions that had earlier been formed and remained stable (Cantril, 2015).
When convincing policymakers, it proves difficult, interest groups may indirectly influence public opinion. They can achieve this through the media, holding rallies, or handing out leaflets to the public (Dür, 2019). Because the citizens have little or no information on policymaking, they can easily be swayed by interest groups. Interest groups can, therefore, successfully source their support from public opinion or not.
Public opinion remains relevant in American politics. Journalists, politicians, and political scientists should focus on getting the public’s opinion on state affairs. In as much as views might differ or change, establishing a common ground will help in policymaking (Dür, 2019). For the war in Iraq, the Democratic gained power over the senate and House. This was greatly influenced by the failure of public support that shifted the pro-Democratic in 2006 and the 2008 elections. Because opinions are not fixed, establishing a connection between public views and political outcomes might be impossible.

Scenario:
In addition to your role on the Child Study Team, you are also a member of the Multidisciplinary Evaluation Team (MDT). This team is preparing to meet because while the Tier Two Interventions have been helpful, Manuel is still struggling with his reading fluency and his writing, and is continuing to fall further behind. The MDT has received the signed and dated formal permission for referral from Manuel's parents and the school psychologist has conducted an academic achievement evaluation as described in your text. One of your roles as the special education inclusion teacher in your school is to translate the results of all the assessments in a way that is understandable to parents, the child, and to the regular education teacher. Another aspect of your role is to write the Initial Referral to the MDT such as the one described on p. 112 of the text. Finally, in your role as the special education inclusion teacher you are tasked with reviewing the results of all the assessments in order to to help the Manuel, his parents and his other teachers to understand the various strategies that are recommended based on his assessment outcomes.
You have reviewed the RTI data collected to date, including the informal observations of Mr, Franklin and Manuel's other teachers and samples of his classroom work, and have compared those data to
Part I of the Comprehensive Report
prepared by the school psychologist. That report is located in the Instructor Guidance for this week. The data paint a compelling and congruent picture of Manuel's current academic functioning. You are now ready to write an Initial Referral for Manuel so that his eligibility for special education services can be determined.

In Act 4 during the trial scene, Bassanio says the following lines:
“Antonio, I am married to a wife
Which [who] is as dear to me as life itself;
But life itself, my wife, and all the world
Are not with me esteemed above your life.
I would lose all, ay sacrifice them all
Here to this devil [Shylock] to deliver [save] you.”
And Portia, who hears these lines (though Bassanio doesn’t know it), says,
“Your wife would give you little thanks for that
If she were [near]by to hear you make the offer.”
(Act 4, scene 1, 281-288
Is Antonio really more important to Bassanio than Portia? Explain why or why not. What do these lines tell us about the value of male friendship vs. marriage in this play? Would Portia be justified in rejecting Bassanio, since later in this scene he gives away the ring she gave him which he swore never to give up? (see Act 3, scene 2, lines 167-185) Your response should be about 200-250 words and should include specific references to lines in the play.

Through the advent of social media, a thing known as "slactivism" has arisen. This is literally activism through social media and, despite such a negative label, researchers are finding that this actually works! Activism through the medium of social media is having a significant impact. This is just ONE example of many of not only a "mass behavior" but can also fit into all 4 categories of social movements. The individuals involved in this mass behavior/social behavior could easily be examined within the lens of the "contagion theory" as well as the "emergent-norm theory."

A STUDY ON THE GROWTH, EVOLUTION, BENEFITS AND KEY CHALLENGES OF CAUSE RELATE...IAEME Publication
To keep up with the escalating competition and the demand for product and brand distinctiveness, business organisations are developing cutting-edge marketing strategies. Cause-related marketing is one such strategy that first appeared in the 1980s. This marketing strategy's success inspired numerous new business ventures, and its adoption rate rose significantly over time, notably in more recent years. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the root of cause-related marketing (CRM). The idea of corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been extensively established and discussed. While CSR stresses on altruistic function of a corporate enterprise, CRM demonstrates a means to turn that compassion into a successful investment. The goal of the current study was to provide a conceptual basis of the concept of CRM, as well as information on its evolution, growth, advantages, and significant implementation-related issues. To make this concept clearer, data was gathered from several secondary sources. In an effort to make it more successful and productive, the researcher has offered advice and suggested actions.

Rahma International is a non-profit organization located in Kuwait that provides humanitarian aid in over 40 countries. It focuses on operational issues and delivering services, but has overlooked developing its brand and relationships with donors. This paper analyzes Rahma International using Porter's six forces model to understand the competitive environment and identifies opportunities to attract more funding. Specifically, it finds that the organization's global reach makes it difficult to build a coherent brand image. It also faces increasing competition from other non-profits and potential new entrants. The paper recommends Rahma International develop a clearer understanding of its target donors and build its reputation to attract more support.

Starbucks
As an American company and coffee shop franchise, Starbucks was founded in 1971, Seattle, Washington in 1971. With well over 15,000 outlets globally, the company has been considered as the world’s leading coffee vendor with the majority of the outlets being located in North America (“Company Information”, 2018). As of 2014, the company was estimated to be having a market value of close to $100 Billion. However, this could not have been possible without globalization; globalization has allowed the company to expand beyond the boundaries of the American Nation and influence the economies of other countries. It has also allowed various political powers to interact thus promoting cooperation and finally it has been able to tap into economies that have raised the value of the brand such as that of China and Europe (“Company Information”, 2018). In 2003, Starbucks began its expansion to foreign countries exploiting its potential and thus promoted their economies through the “Starbucks Effect.” This was the emergence of various coffee shops competing with the franchise in selling coffee (Kang & Namkung, 2017). The internet of things can be regarded as one of the most influential aspects that have allowed Starbucks to grow and dominate most markets globally. The company is aggressive in implementing change and this is inclusive of their machines. The company always installs the latest in machinery that allows the outlets to operate at maximum efficiency. Moreover, technology has allowed the franchise to have better interaction with its clients through online tracking of consumer preference. This tracking allows the company to understand what the client expects of the company and makes the necessary changes (Kang & Namkung, 2017). Finally, the company relies on online platforms for the employment of their staff as conventional means are not only expensive but extremely time-consuming.
As stated earlier, the “Starbucks effect” has been influential in the development of various economies through competition. Starbucks as a franchise has created a competitive environment in various markets that has resulted in the company being innovative in its marketing strategies (Kang & Namkung, 2017). This pressure to remain at the top can allow the company to generate above-average returns. Moreover, the brand is recognized by clients globally, this is the only advantage the company has considering that many locals may have other preferences towards other coffee vendors. In the Industrial Organization model, the company already qualifies as being attractive as its management and operation strategies are simple thus giving it room for more modifications to be applied. Moreover, the company applies the strategy of economies of scale whereby, due to its vast size it retails its products at a low and affordable price. This makes the company attractive ...

In American politics, people often compare their enemies to Hitler o.docxcharisellington63520
In American politics, people often compare their enemies to Hitler or to the Nazis. Many Democrats compared Trump to a "fascist," and Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez famously compared child detention facilities to "concentration camps." (Republicans claimed this was an unfair comparison and disrespectful to the real victims of the Holocaust.) On the other hand, Republicans often claim that their Democratic enemies are like Hitler, and often whine that "the Left" is persecuting them similar to how the Nazis persecuted the Jews ("cancel culture" is like the Holocaust, wearing a mask is like wearing a yellow star, etc.). Obviously these are exaggerated, bad comparisons, and are more about scoring political points than teaching history accurately.
But is it
always
wrong and disrespectful to draw comparisons or lessons from the Holocaust? Isn't it possible--while being respectful and acknowledging all the differences that make the Holocaust uniquely horrible--to try to draw lessons from it and prevent anything like it in the future? What comparisons or lessons for the present, if any, can we learn from the Holocaust?
Using specific evidence/examples/comparisons from the primary source you analyzed, please make a specific argument about a lesson or comparison
you might draw from the Holocaust. I'm not interested in your general/vague opinions about politics or Holocaust comparisons. I want you to carefully and respectfully (not politically) draw a lesson from something you learned in your document/film.

American opinion has indeed shaped politic consequences, political interests, and policymaking. Even with little or no interest in policymaking and politics, the assumption of democracy gives the citizens the power to freely air out their issues and give their opinion in matters of political concern. Taking the war in Iraq, it posed a significant economic and political imbalance. However, support from the politicians was negligible. And because a majority of the Americans opposed the war in Iran, they voted for a Democratic congressional candidate. Their opinion played a great deal in making concrete policies in response to the war in Iraq.
Public opinion is a reflection of the citizens’ view on how the government responds to national politics. Political actions are driven by the citizen’s opinion (Erikson, & Tedin, 2015). It sheds light on the outcomes of specific policies and helps the political candidates identify the characters demanded of them by the citizens. Political scholars argued that the perception of old public opinions was changed because of ambiguity and inaccuracy (Dür, 2019). Modern theories came to identify public opinion as either latent or a broad expression. Latent opinions are formed on the spot, while broad expressions are opinions that had earlier been formed and remained stable (Cantril, 2015).
When convincing policymakers, it proves difficult, interest groups may indirectly influence public opinion. They can achieve this through the media, holding rallies, or handing out leaflets to the public (Dür, 2019). Because the citizens have little or no information on policymaking, they can easily be swayed by interest groups. Interest groups can, therefore, successfully source their support from public opinion or not.
Public opinion remains relevant in American politics. Journalists, politicians, and political scientists should focus on getting the public’s opinion on state affairs. In as much as views might differ or change, establishing a common ground will help in policymaking (Dür, 2019). For the war in Iraq, the Democratic gained power over the senate and House. This was greatly influenced by the failure of public support that shifted the pro-Democratic in 2006 and the 2008 elections. Because opinions are not fixed, establishing a connection between public views and political outcomes might be impossible.

Week Four Instructor Guidance
, and the scenario provided below. In particular, you should review the
Initial Referral to the Multidisciplinary Team form
found on p. 112-113 of your text, the
Child Study Team Referral Form
from week three, and
Part I
of the
Comprehensive Report
found in the
Instructor Guidance
for this week.
Scenario:
In addition to your role on the Child Study Team, you are also a member of the Multidisciplinary Evaluation Team (MDT). This team is preparing to meet because while the Tier Two Interventions have been helpful, Manuel is still struggling with his reading fluency and his writing, and is continuing to fall further behind. The MDT has received the signed and dated formal permission for referral from Manuel's parents and the school psychologist has conducted an academic achievement evaluation as described in your text. One of your roles as the special education inclusion teacher in your school is to translate the results of all the assessments in a way that is understandable to parents, the child, and to the regular education teacher. Another aspect of your role is to write the Initial Referral to the MDT such as the one described on p. 112 of the text. Finally, in your role as the special education inclusion teacher you are tasked with reviewing the results of all the assessments in order to to help the Manuel, his parents and his other teachers to understand the various strategies that are recommended based on his assessment outcomes.
You have reviewed the RTI data collected to date, including the informal observations of Mr, Franklin and Manuel's other teachers and samples of his classroom work, and have compared those data to
Part I of the Comprehensive Report
prepared by the school psychologist. That report is located in the Instructor Guidance for this week. The data paint a compelling and congruent picture of Manuel's current academic functioning. You are now ready to write an Initial Referral for Manuel so that his eligibility for special education services can be determined.
Initial Post:
Review the
Initial Referral to the Multi-Disciplinary Team form
on p. 112 and 113 of your text. Compare the information needed for that form with the
Child Study Team Referral Form
that you filled out last week for Manuel. Explain the different functions of the two documents and state how they are alike and how they are different. Then, explain how you plan to share the data on the Initial Referral to the Multi-Disciplinary Team form in a way that Manuel, his parents, and Mr. Franklin can understand. Be sure to include an explanation for why you are the one sharing this information with them. Include pertinent professional or personal real world examples to illustrate your points.

Creativity for Innovation and SpeechmakingMattVassar1
Tapping into the creative side of your brain to come up with truly innovative approaches. These strategies are based on original research from Stanford University lecturer Matt Vassar, where he discusses how you can use them to come up with truly innovative solutions, regardless of whether you're using to come up with a creative and memorable angle for a business pitch--or if you're coming up with business or technical innovations.
Decolonizing Universal Design for LearningFrederic Fovet
UDL has gained in popularity over the last decade both in the K-12 and the post-secondary sectors. The usefulness of UDL to create inclusive learning experiences for the full array of diverse learners has been well documented in the literature, and there is now increasing scholarship examining the process of integrating UDL strategically across organisations. One concern, however, remains under-reported and under-researched. Much of the scholarship on UDL ironically remains while and Eurocentric. Even if UDL, as a discourse, considers the decolonization of the curriculum, it is abundantly clear that the research and advocacy related to UDL originates almost exclusively from the Global North and from a Euro-Caucasian authorship. It is argued that it is high time for the way UDL has been monopolized by Global North scholars and practitioners to be challenged. Voices discussing and framing UDL, from the Global South and Indigenous communities, must be amplified and showcased in order to rectify this glaring imbalance and contradiction.
This session represents an opportunity for the author to reflect on a volume he has just finished editing entitled Decolonizing UDL and to highlight and share insights into the key innovations, promising practices, and calls for change, originating from the Global South and Indigenous Communities, that have woven the canvas of this book. The session seeks to create a space for critical dialogue, for the challenging of existing power dynamics within the UDL scholarship, and for the emergence of transformative voices from underrepresented communities. The workshop will use the UDL principles scrupulously to engage participants in diverse ways (challenging single story approaches to the narrative that surrounds UDL implementation) , as well as offer multiple means of action and expression for them to gain ownership over the key themes and concerns of the session (by encouraging a broad range of interventions, contributions, and stances).

Introduction
Wal-Mart has been one of the organizations in the forefront of
initiating partnerships with the community in its operations
(Fishman, 2012). As a result, the organization has initiated
programs to reinforce the commitments of stimulating economic
development, expanding access to the affordable groceries and
creating quality jobs within the city. It is among the biggest
corporations not only in America but across the globe with more
than 1 million employees and with revenue that exceeds $250
billion (Berg & Roberts, 2012). It is a corporation experiencing
a steady growth which has been attributed to the innovative and
the revolutionary business strategies emphasizing complicated
chain management and cutting on the overall operational costs.
2. It has adopted business models that have transformed patterns
used in the retail and wholesale trade. This is in addition to the
adoption of the latest logistics strategies involving the
transportation and the distribution of the commodities (Brunn,
2014). Wal-Mart has been offering a wide variety of products at
relatively lower prices than most of its competitors. Moreover,
the company adopts most of the intelligent people as its
employees, and this makes it generate a considerable amount of
sales as well as property tax for the locally residing
communities (Berg & Roberts, 2012).
Wal-Mart historical background
Wal-Mart evolved from the Walton’s zeal for value and great
customer service and opened Wal-Mart in Rogers, Arkansas in
9162 (Ferguson, 2015). Many of the competitors thought
offering great discount for customers would never work. Much
to the surprise among the competitors the idea even went
beyond Sam’s expectations. Wal-Mart became public in 1970
and proceedings greatly financed the business expansion (Wal-
Mart, 2015) .Sam credited the expansion of the business not
only in the low prices offered but also to the business
associates. This is because, he depended on them to give a great
experience to the customers that would continuously enable
them to always come back. Sam made his vision become known
among his associates in ways which were almost unheard within
the industry. He partnered with the associates to enhance the
success of the organization.as the stores began to grow, so did
his aspirations (Wal-Mart, 2015). He began experimenting with
new stores, bringing new approaches and best retail
technologies. His fearlessness in setting the prices below the
market standard created more value in the customers which has
enabled it to be one of the largest retail chains in the world.
After receiving a Medal of Freedom, he died in 1992 although
his left a continuous legacy (Vance, Scott, & Perkins, 2014).
Research methodology
The research involved a review of the corporation’s website and
the database of the online journals which would have prior
3. research reports concerning the operation of the corporation. In
addition, the research also involved an analysis of the various
organizations within the same industries to compare the
operational strategies which have placed the organization in the
global leadership. A review of the surrounding communities was
also done to get some responses on the benefits and partnerships
of the corporations. Due to the aspect of distance and costs,
most of the interviews were done via internet or phone calls.
The project concentrated on the qualitative research
methodology.This is because; qualitative research is best used
to uncover opinions and thoughts and hence enabling to dive
deeper into the research problems. In addition, qualitative
research extends to the ultimate beliefs of the interactive
archetype and employs symbolic discourse consisting of
conversations and texts and hence helping to get the best
opinions for the research.
Results and discussions
Partnerships
The organization has partnered with the community and other
charitable organizations whose profound performances have
changed the lives of the community. In November 2010, Wal-
Mart made an announcement to offer greater job options,
shopping experience, and food choices to the residents of
Washington DC in an effort of expanding the opportunities and
access to the underserved residents in the city (Vedder & Cox,
2012).This was an initiative of increasing community
partnerships between the organization and the community. The
program was launched after listening to the community to
understand better the unique challenges. While Wal-Mart
leverages the scale and size for the purpose of influencing
positive changes in a variety of ways, risks can never be solved
by the company alone. Therefore, partnerships become a crucial
aspect in a way of addressing some common issues which may
finally be of great benefit to both the organization and the
community at large (Vedder & Cox, 2012).Wall-mart is an
alliance of a group of retailers and brands which seek to offer
4. safe working conditions and improving the cooperation and
condition of the surrounding communities.
The Wal-Mart Foundation has been supporting healthy eating,
under relief, career opportunity, environmental sustainability as
well as economic empowerment of the women (Fishman, 2012).
This is in accordance with the belief of making a difference
through cases that are crucial to the both the customers and
neighborhood. The organization has been strengthening the
system of the workforce by helping workers develop skills for
new jobs for the rapidly changing economy. For example, in
2014, Wal-Mart Foundation committed more than $100 million
in a way of helping to boost the economic mobility of workers
entry in the adjacent sectors of the retail industry. Through the
initiative, the organization funded programs aimed to provide
training in the retail industry for more than 30,000 workers and
helped most of them to move to middle skills jobs from entry
levels (Loveless, 2011). This made the organization earn a very
strong repute for the efforts.
Humanitarian considerations
It has also upheld the ethical standards in the community to
make sure that everyone has been incorporated in the operations
(Fishman, 2013). For example, Wal-Mart takes a direct and
strong stance on many issues related to its sales .This has been
portrayed in most of the items that they sell whereby they refuse
to sell items such as games and music with explicit content,
adult magazines and morning after pills. This shows a great
sense of ethics in its operations due to the fact that they forgo
some of the most profitable things so that they can enforce
values that they believe are acceptable within the society
Cross cultural challenges
The culture of wall mart organization has been a great
hindrance to its expansions .Considering the fact that the
organization operates cross-culturally in different countries;
some of the practices have become a challenge within some
countries. For instance, in Germany, the expatriate managers
underwent some cultural clashes when they refused to learn the
5. language. In South Korea, the operation culture involved
centers and departments far from city centers and most of the
Koreans disliked its merchandise as well as the prices and this
led to an immediate closure.
Demonstrate how the organization uses volunteers and the
economic benefits associated with this
Many volunteers have come up to support Wal-Mart achieve its
charitable visions in the community .Of great significance is
the Office of the United Nations which have sent most
volunteers in some of the projects in an effort of building the
resilience of the community worldwide. Based on the statistics,
the foundation has provided more than $40 million in the past
ten years to various countries and regions which been
overburdened by disasters. Wall mart foundation has been
working with local facilities and associates to deliver some of
the benefits to the community (Loveless, 2011). The other
volunteers in most of the Wal-Mart’s community operations are
the Volunteerism Always Pays .Other associates include Facility
Giving and Associate Giving Program. According to the
foundation’s spokesperson, David Tovar, the foundation has not
only been helping the community but have also been benefiting
from such activities.Such activities have set it apart from
various competitions and have also found new ways of
communicating with the customers.Other forms of partnerships
which have been undertaken by the organization includes
donations grants, volunteering, sponsorships, expert advice and
mentoring.The organization has gained some points for its
community partnership and social responsibility. Partnerships
have worked to foster a viable and a healthy society which lead
to the reinvigoration of the local support for the communities
(Litfin, 2011).
Roadblocks
One of the main roadblocks facing the organization is the trend
of shopping habit. In 1990s the organization built a lot of super-
centres. However, due to the process of digitalization many of
the shoppers are using the physical stores as pick up points.
6. This is making the organization to incur extra costs of building
separate pick up points .The other roadblock is the upcoming
competition from different stores. This is because; since the
economic recovery, there are upcoming retailers such as TJ
Maxx, who are offering lower prices and this means that Wal-
Mart should continue lowering the prices which raises a threat
of decreased profits in future. Moreover, the company is facing
pressures of raising the wages of the workers which would also
comprise the profits of the company if they admit to the
demands of the workers.
Organization’s vision for the future
In June 2014, Doug McMillan, Wal-Mart’s CEO affirmed the
future vision of the company and outlined different ways in
which the company would use to serve its customers. The first
one was to be customer driven by making the customers as the
bosses of the company and making the best decisions based on
how to serve them to the best. The second one is to invest in the
people. This is because, based on the CEO, it is the associates
and the people who would make the difference of the
organization. The third one is to lead with urgency by investing
in the technology and innovation.
Areas for improvement
The executives of the organization should re-evaluate the layout
of the stores for easy navigation, from temperature and lighting
of the stores (Watrous, 2015). Moreover, instead of adding
separate pick up points for online shoppers, the company would
consider redesigning the supercentres to fit both the physical
shoppers and the online shoppers to save on costs. Moreover,
the organization should leverage the adjacencies of the
operations such as financial services, care clinics and gas, to
drive high a high traffic to the stores (Harris, 2014).
Furthermore, the organization should improve the assortment
across the merchandise, private label, grocery and fresh food.
Potential ways that I might contribute to the organization
Based on my skills, I would use the customer decision tree to
help the company to understand its customers and analyse its
7. market. This would reveal the role that would be played by the
private labels, which services are substitutable and which
products gain the loyalty of the customers. To reduce the
problem of piled up and expired inventories I would use the
strategy of lowering the prices of the products which are near
the expiry dates to increase the chances of their sales. This
would reduce some losses incurred when some of the expired
products are disposed off.
Conclusions
Wal-Mart is a worldwide corporation in the retail industry
which has been showing a significant growth in its operations.
Its operations are based on values and ethics which make most
of the stakeholders to have interests in its services. This
research is aimed at exploring the corporation to find its ways
of operation and how such operations have impacted the
community as well as the society. It will employ qualitative
research methodology to draw the various conclusions.
It is crucial for organizations to give something back, reconnect
and reinvest in the communities through partnerships. Wal-Mart
is one of the organizations which have given back to the
society.The partnership program has been a two-way
phenomenon in that as it benefits the society, it also enjoys
some positive effects.Some of the partnership initiatives include
sponsorships, training the society in the retail industry ,
donation, grants and many more.
