The case details the changes Walmart CEO Doug McMillon implemented to address the competitive threat of e-Commerce, including the closing of stores and the USD3.3 billion acquisition of Jet.com. Walmart struggles with a maturing and over-saturated US market, where it had to close almost 300 stores (in 2016), a first in Walmart's history. The e-Commerce threat is continuing to gain in strength. Doug McMillon needs to develop future growth, and is contemplating a hybrid retail strategy between physical stores and an online presence. Finally, Walmart continues to struggle internationally, especially in China and Brazil, which are potentially huge markets.
