文化面面觀
世界最大的連鎖零售企業 Wal-Mart
Wal-Mart was founded by Samuel Moore Walton in Rogers, Arkansas, in July 1962. He built a chain of huge discount stores mostly situated in small rural towns. Wal-Mart's success was based on everyday low prices, item merchandizing, volume movement of goods, and customer-orientated, non-unionized employees known as "associates." By Walton's death in 1992, Wal-Mart had displaced thousands of small town "Main Street" stores and become America's biggest retailer. During the 1990s Wal-Mart successfully expanded into Canada, Latin America, Europe, and the Far East. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, Wal-Mart was the largest employer in the United States and the world's biggest retailer. 沃爾瑪在全球開設了6,600多家商場，員工總數180多萬人，分布在全球14個國家。每周光臨沃爾瑪的顧客1.75億人次。沃爾瑪(WAL-MART)是全球500強榜首企業，是世界上最大的雇主。
