Reference answer

Given Walmart's established success and core competency in high-volume household goods like dish soap, the strategic decision is to invest in boosting dish soap production. This leverages existing, efficient supply chains and proven customer demand. Venturing into the laptop market, while potentially lucrative, represents a significant departure from Walmart's strengths and would require substantial investment in new infrastructure, expertise, and marketing, with a less certain return compared to scaling a known winner.
