Ch. 5 - Developing a Global Vision

Is Walmart good for America?

Yes, I believe Walmart is good for America because,

1.     The company is helping consumers get more for their money. Walmart saves a typical American family of four about $2500 a year. That’s about what a family of four gets from the government in food stamps.

2.     Walmart is stimulating its suppliers to achieve greater economies in manufacturing.

3.     Walmart runs the largest corporate cash-giving foundation in America. In 2004 Wal-Mart donated over $170 million.
