Wal-Mart: A History of Sam Walton's Retail Phenomenon (Twayne's Evolution of Modern Business Series)

The story of Wal-Mart Stores is the stuff of legends: in 1945 a poor boy from a poor state opens a variety store in a small town in rural Arkansas and, through hard work, ingenuity, and a commitment to providing customers with low-priced, high-quality merchandise, goes on to create the largest retail operation in the United States. This fascinating history of a man and his enterprise is adroitly chronicled in this first historical study of Wal-Mart Stores and Sam Walton's remarkable career.Roy V. Scott is the author of 'Wal-Mart: A History of Sam Walton's Retail Phenomenon (Twayne's Evolution of Modern Business Series)' with ISBN 9780805798333 and ISBN 0805798331.
