Walmart’s CEO is Stepping Down. Here’s What Many Get Wrong About Its RGM Strategy
With CEO Doug McMillon stepping down, we analyze the sophisticated RGM machine he built at Walmart. The "people-led, tech-powered" model, funded by its ad business, uses an EDLP strategy to build trust and create demand stability. This structurally avoids the "hidden costs" of "Subsidised Base" and "Stockpiling" that plague "Hi-Lo" rivals. Walmart's tiered private label portfolio—from "Great Value" to "Bettergoods"—is a masterclass in managing "Downgrading" and driving "Upgrading." New CEO John Furner signals a disciplined continuity of this data-driven strategy.
