Walmart’s E-Stumble
Amazon.com Inc. has become the runaway leader in online sales thanks to a network of more than 40 U.S. warehouses, some employing robotic assistants, which speeds orders to homes with ruthless efficiency.
As it seeks to play catch-up in e-commerce, Walmart Stores Inc. has concluded it doesn’t want to simply clone Amazon’s model since it also has to worry about supplying its stores.
