Hariniben good post. I agree with you that "To be the best retailer in the hearts and minds of consumers and employees." As you stated, this is vision statement of Walmart, and that is exactly what Walmart is trying/achieving. Walmart has used exceptional strategic management when it comes to them making revenue, for instance, Walmart manages the purchasing of the raw materials at lower cost by having a relationship with its suppliers. On the other hand, Walmart may pay a higher or lower price but at the end of the day they offer their customer a good price because they will rollback prices. Consumers will go to Walmart, not only because they can buy things in bulk, but they can do so and not have to spend a whole lot of money at one time.
