When looking at Wal-Mart you can see that there is statistical data that shows that they are in a monopoly. This data is seen by their power in the business and their dominance over other businesses. They need to make a decision about how to regulate their future business policies. We can use research methods in order to reach a conclusion about what the company can do in order to better satisfy its customers and competitors.
One way of doing this is to follow a customer survey where random people are selected and questioned about the store and the way the employees are functioning. In doing the surveys Wal-Mart can narrow down the problems within the stores.

By breaking down the survey by gender, age and race the company will have a much broader approach on the problem.
