WALMART NEGOTIATION The case talks about the negotiation process between Walmart, Kentucky Derby Hosiery (KDH) and Little Ones Products (LOP). KDH has supplied Little Ones –branded infant sox under an exclusive agreement to Walmart for six years. These sales were of major importance to KDH as it accounted for 20% of its total annual revenues and their margins were also double compared to other sox and hosiery.

This issue was of major concern for Bill Nichol (CEO of KDH) as they had a large amount of capital invested in LOP brand to satisfy Walmart’s high volume and quality.

Changing Family Dynamics in Television The reflection of family values on television has drastically changed over the past six decades. The common family dynamics of a wholesome, good-hearted set of parents with well-behaved, naive and respectful children we saw in the 1950’s is seriously missing in today’s TV guide.
