The change brought by the tremendous rise in the use of e-commerce disrupted Walmart to a great extent. With the trend of digitalization continuing to increase, consumers are shifting their buying behavior and increasingly using online e-commerce, seeking low costs and convenience (Franco, 2018). Amazon’s e-commerce created a significant threat to Walmart because of the way its online market continued to rise. With its traditional retail system, Walmart could not have survived the disruptive change created by e-commerce without embracing digitalization. Competition in the retail industry became more intense because Walmart would compete with other retail companies like Costco and also e-commerce giants like Amazon.
