A post with a different topic. Time for a change.
Did anyone by chance watch the 2 hr profile of Wal Mart on CNBC last night? If not, I'd highly recommend watching. A fascinating behind the scenes look at one of the greatest business powers America...and the world...has ever seen.
After watching and thinking about it, Wal-Mart is kind of scary. The company has so much retail power that by being a supplier to them can actually put a company out of business. They can change the retail shape of a town in a matter of weeks. Change supply chain operations for companies who decide to peddle their wares through their thousands of stores in 10+ countries.
I follow businesses very closely and was awed at their business model and in depth look at how they operate.
A short summary of the topic is here:
