Show-rooming has become a significant issue for Target, its internal stakeholders, and the predominance of its external stakeholders. Subsequently, Target requested suppliers manufacture products that are exclusive to Target and/or partner with Target to price match competitors, in order to aid Target in remaining competitive (Kinicki, 2013). After learning of Target’s request of its vendors, some have expressed concerns regarding the ethical dilemma created by Target.

Her first story comes from author of Calling on Toy Retailers to Eliminate Gender-Based Marketing, Carrie Goldman. Grinberg then uses multiple points from Goldman’s book to support her argument.
On Walmart’s website their toy section has many different filter options to pick from the first three being, category, trending, or by gender. Before I clicked on anything I scrolled to the bottom of the page where Walmart gives a little description of their toy sections, and to my surprise they included a statement that said “The most important aspect of a toy is that it appeals to your child, so let your child participate in picking out their next toy or game, whether it be a Lego Creator set or a Barbie doll”(Walmart 2016c).
