Why does wal-mart have cost advantage over its competitors


Problem

When Wal-Mart locates in a smaller town, often the local retailers (e.g., hardware, clothing, and appliance stores) are unable to successfully compete and are driven out of business. Why does Wal-Mart have a cost advantage over its competitors and therefore is able to charge lower prices. If Wal-Mart drove its competitors out of business, and behaved like an unregulated monopoly, what would happen to its prices and why?

The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
