Abstract 1. The subject of this paper is to discuss different IT problems and solutions in a large retail company. 2. This paper will discuss the IT Walmart currently uses and the ways in which Walmart would benefit by updating their systems. 3. The problem with Walmart’s current system is it is old and dated, making it harder and more time consuming to guide through. 4. Updating their current system will make it easier and more efficient to navigate through. 5. Initially this will cost a lot of money, since Walmart is such a large corporation.

If the order cannot be received in a swift manner and across the proper channels then it can, and most likely will, delay the entire scope of the project.

...Kelsey Campbell Course Project Proposal Managerial Application of Information- Technology MIS 535-60533 Using Mobile Devices to Improve Competitive Marketing Positioning I believe that the most innovative approach to coupling the use of mobile devices with Social Media will give online marketers better marketing positioning and improved competitiveness. The moving market of online shopping is currently dominated by a handful of names including Amazon, Apple, eBay, Google, and a splash of Yahoo. My approach is somewhat bias, as I am interning for eBay this summer with the Social Media team. However, I think that the information I gain through my intern project, and this class project will be legitimized, because it is an objective that I am, in real time, working to execute. (Ken Laudon and Jane Laudon. Management Information Systems, 12/e for DeVry University, 12th Edition.Bookshelf. Web. 22 July 2013) The problem is that although 66% of small business owners use mobile technology for their business (http://news.constantcontact.com/sites/constantcontact.newshq.businesswire.com/files/research/file/Mobile_Tech_Pulse_slidedeck_FINAL_3.pdf), it is still somewhat difficult to track in terms of actual correlated return and mobile friendly platforms all around. Social Media, according to Constant Contact, leads in mobile technology use at 73% while e-mail marketing follows at 71%. With better e-mail platforms being introduced such as @gmail, which virtually eliminates any...
