The Good and Bad of Wal-Mart's Culture
Regani, Shirisha
The Good and Bad of Wal-Mart's Culture - Hyderabad : ICFAI, 2004. - 18 p. 14x22 cm
Wal-Mart was the biggest company in the world. With sales at a quarter of a trillion and over 1.3 million employees, it was the biggest retailing success ever. A lot of Wal-Mart's success was attributed to the strong and pervasive culture at the company, which was developed and nurtured by founder Sam Walton. In over four decades of operation, Wal-Mart managed to retain most of the elements of culture it had when it first started out, as well as the entrepreneurial spirit which often drives startup companies to success. The fact that the company's growth rate was often in double digits bears this out. Wal-Mart's culture was characterized by an orientation towards customer service and providing the best value at the lowest prices.
