文化面面观
世界最大的连锁零售企业 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. 沃尔玛在全球开设了6,600多家商场,员工总数180多万人,分布在全球14个国家。每周光临沃尔玛的顾客1.75亿人次。沃尔玛(WAL-MART)是全球500强榜首企业,是世界上最大的雇主。
