The Wal-Mart Triumph: Inside the World's #1 Company
Two of the toughest challenges for any company are leadership transitions and rapid growth. How do you replace an enormously popular and beloved CEO? And how do you maintain a rapid growth rate without losing the culture and focus of a small company? Over the past ten years, since the death of the legendary Sam Walton, Wal-Mart has passed both challenges with flying colors. It's now the first company to rank number one on both the Fortune 500 and the Fortune Most Admired lists. Sam Walton's successors have taken the company into far-flung new markets and new directions, without losing the down-to-earth retailing culture that made Wal-Mart thrive in its early years. With unprecedented access to Wal-Mart's press-shy senior executives, Robert Slater offers new insights about how the company manages its people and its operations, how it is expanding around the world (even in China), and how it is dealing with its many critics and competitors.

Okay so here goes. Hey i just finished reading this book and it was amazing! "The Wal-Mart Triumph" by Robert Slater was an amazing book. It's so soaked with facts on how and why Wal-Mart is the way it is if it had anymore facts the book would drown in a puddle of facts. The first chapter is basically about how Wal-Mart started and how Sam Walton started his business empire. Then it goes on to tell about how Walmart got it's roots implanted into the south and then took over certain chain stores in the south and so on and so forth unti they get to today and it talks about the lawsuits and so on and so forth. Great book good read.

Very interesting book! I also liked the book, which is similar to this, "The Wal-Mart Way" which describes the man who had a clear purpose and vision and his greatness of achieving success in forming the World's #1 company.
