Wal-Mart has been able to control its expenses better than its competition. In fact, it ranked number one in its industry for the lowest ratio of expenses to sales. Wal-Mart s success stands on an amalgamation of value chain activities. Wal-Mart sustains its competitive advantage by exploiting its superior logistics, state-of-the-art technology, every day low prices strategy, and well established brand reputation.
