The four functions of management, planning, organizing, leading, and controlling, can be
found in various types of business environments. There are several different factors that can
impact the four functions of management. These factors are globalization, technology,
innovation, diversity, and ethics. Let us look at how these factors are specific to the way Wal-
mart, a leading retail store runs the business.
Globalization and the face of retail markets is proof that every object of thing is subject to
change. The past decade has experienced many changes in the translation process, services and
formats of retail markets. Retailing, which is the last aspect of distribution of market strategy,

External/Internal Factors 2
Wal-mart has had their eye on this huge unorganized retail market. Through
liberalization, privatization and globalization, potential players throughout the globe are
pouncing on the opportunity for commerce.
Technology is a big factor in today’s business culture. Wal-mart strives for running a
centralized information system for the operations all over the world. When management decided
to centralize the systems, there was much planning and thought put into where and how this
would occur. Management created objectives and then set action plans to carry out the desired
overall goal.
Once the objectives were established and location was chosen, the management team
needed to create an organizational chart that would reflect the people in charge of the
implementation. It was up to management to create job duties and responsibilities and begin the
organizational development of the centralized location.
When the implementation team was established, management was responsible for leading
them in the correct path. Some of the larger projects were broken down into smaller projects
according to CIO Linda Dillman (2005). The right amount of knowledge and good motivation is
needed to keep the team on track in making the centralization a success. It is management’s
responsibility to stay on top of the team by controlling his or her actions and production. When
implementing this type of system, there are going to be many changes along the way.
