It caused reaction of public against walmart.
(People were boycotting walmart.)
Bad image for Wal-Mart.
(If the decision is accepted by supreme court, there will be a huge amount of penalty.)

Until Walmart was found not guilty by SUPREME COURT, they tried to express themselves that they didn’t act unethical.
This could be done by tv, newspaper advwhich had high cost.
Also during court, there were some strikes not to buy products from Walmart.
All those things caused to Walmart in terms of its financial situation .

Because this case's base is a Walmart market in California, it can be understood that manager of stores can act how they want without caring about agreement between them and Walmart headquarter. So first action can be adding more rules to prevent unethical, biased actions of managers, employees.Other action can be a evaluation of managers actions in terms of motivation, efficiency, behaviour with workers. With this way, it can be provided that managers can be more careful about their decisions.Dukes and other 5 women employee can quit. But because they acted against to their company, other firms could hesitate to hire them. Because if they act in the same way,

Walmart should increase the control of each store in different states by monitoring, and evaluating.
With this way headquarter can have all the control by putting pressure on store managers.
To change the mind set about women.
To put light on women injustice at their work place.
