Recommendation

Wal-Mart is not just a gigantic retail company. It is the ultimate retailing juggernaut, setting the bar for products, packaging and pricing, and demolishing its competitors. Given its staggering influence, some would say Wal-Mart has become the very embodiment of retailing. The personality of Wal-Mart’s late founder, Sam Walton, is still a driving force, a source of homespun, countrified wisdom and old-fashioned common sense. In this engaging autobiography, Walton explains how he built his mammoth corporation from a small five-and-dime store in Bentonville, Arkansas. America’s ultimate entrepreneur was clearly a determined steamroller as a businessman, but, as his book makes clear, he was also a charmer.

Take-Aways

  • Sam Walton believed anyone can accomplish anything with encouragement and opportunity.
  • He created the world’s largest retailer from scratch.
  • From his youth, Walton was a winner at everything he tried.
