800CEORead reviews Wal-Smart
Wal-Smart is another Wal-Mart book but this is a little different. As he says,
“As a consulting partner at Ernst & Young, I designed Wal-Mart’s first-ever strategic planning process and ran it for three and a half years in the late 1990s.”
The book has all the usual amazing stats about how we all are part of the Wal-Mart world, whether we shop there or not. What sets Wal-Smart apart from other books on the topic is
“Wal-Smart is not a book about Wal-Mart. It is a book about what it really takes to profit in a Wal-Mart world: how to examine our options, how to choose the right ones, and how to win a second chance to succeed. Of course, Wal-Mart world has changed the traditional rules of the economic game. But the potential remains for all of us to raise our economic life while Wal-Mart continues to flex its economic muscle.”
