FGCU Academy - Sam Walton and the Making of Walmart

Sam Walton and the Making of Walmart

Sam Walton built a single "five and dime" store into the largest retailer in the world. His passion for low prices and focus on the customer humbled his much larger competitors. But as yesterday's David became today's Goliath, critics became as numerous as new Walmart Supercenters. Were low prices worth the cost of low wages, lack of health care and the ruin of America's small retailers? Was Walmart doing what everyone else was doing but just doing it better? Has Walmart changed in reaction to the criticism? We'll look at Sam Walton and Walmart's past, present and future.
