Case #1 Wal-Mart—“strategic coherence” map
The Porter (1996) Harvard Business Review article (“What is Strategy”) provides a graphical description of Southwest Airlines’ activity system, showing coherence in its strategy. Draw a similar strategic coherence map for Wal-Mart. Think carefully about how all of Wal-Mart’s details in their activity system are complementary and reinforcing for their overall business-level strategy. Identify, graphically, which activities are major and which are minor, and link together activities that reinforce each other to a substantial degree.
