Walmart is basically Amazon without AWS. Which, IMHO, means they're going to be hopelessly behind from a engineering and innovation perspective. Amazon is playing a completely different kind of game and I highly doubt Walmart will be able compete long term.
- Spooky23 10y agoThe difference is that Walmart is a more sustainable business. Amazon is far more sensitive to interest rates and is 100% dependent on growth to hide the warts associated with the business. At some point they'll need to spin off AWS. Walmart did most of the innovation in the back office space 30 years ago.
