Like it or not, Wal-Mart is truly one of the most influential companies of our times, revolutionizing the global retail industry. In this great piece of work, Nelson Lichetenstein analyses the success of Wal-Mart with a holistic approach. Indeed, apart from its most talked-about innovations in logistics and distribution, the success of Wal-Mart cannot be set apart from other major cultural, political and social forces. Nelson invaluably goes beyond the typical discussions on business models.
So what does the future holds for Wal-Mart? Times have changed. Nelson ends the book with his insightful comment, 'the giant retailer is facing new challenges throughout its famed supply chain, where an era of global laissez-faire and rock bottom labor costs may well be on the wane.' Sam Walton once remarked that one of Wal-Mart's ingrained culture is its ability to drop everything and turn on a dime. Well, it might happen. It might not.
We'll see.
