More copies of this ISBN:The Wal-Mart Effect: How the World's Most Powerful Company Really Works--And How It's Transforming the American Economyby Charles Fishman
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Wal-Mart isn't just the world's biggest company, it is probably the world's most written-about. But no book until this one has managed to penetrate its wall of silence or go beyond the usual polemics to analyze its actual effects on its customers, workers, and suppliers. Drawing on unprecedented interviews with former Wal-Mart executives and a wealth of staggering data (e.g., Americans spend $36 million an hour at Wal-Mart stores, and in 2004 its growth alone was bigger than the total revenue of 469 of the Fortune 500), The Wal-Mart Effect is an intimate look at a business that is dramatically reshaping our lives. Review:Insightful. (BusinessWeek) Review:The Wal-Mart Effect saunters through the influential economic [ecosystem' that the discount chain represents with clarity, compelling nuance, and refreshing objectivity. (The Christian Science Monitor) Review:A must-read if one is even to begin understanding the global dominance of Wal-Mart. (The Washington Post) Synopsis:Drawing on unprecedented interviews with former Wal-Mart executives and a wealth of staggering data--including facts such as this: Americans spend $36 million an hour at Wal-Mart stores--this text is an intimate look at a business that is dramatically reshaping the American economy.
