The Wal-Mart mission statement is: “We save people money so that they can live better” The strategy of Wal-Mart is cost leadership strategy.

The three objectives are reducing administrative expense/total revenues at Wal-Mart; reducing lead time from online orders to delivery at Wal-Mart, and reducing waiting time for customers at counters. The strategy of Wal-Mart is cost leadership; reducing administrative expense/total revenues will help Wal-Mart reduce costs. If Wal-Mart helps customers live better, it must make faster deliveries and reduce waiting time for customers. Reducing waiting time for customers frees their time and enables them to live better.
