{"product_id":"walmart-world","title":"WalMart World","description":"\u003cp\u003eNow that WalMart has conquered the US, can it conquer the world? As WalMart World shows, the corporation is certainly trying. For a number of years, WalMart has been the largest company in the United States. Now, though, it is the largest company in the world. Its global labor practices and outsourcing strategies represent for many what contemporary economic globalization is all about. But WalMart is not standing still, and is opening up stores everywhere. From Germany to Beijing to Mexico City to Tokyo, more than a billion shoppers can now hunt for bargains at a WalMart superstore. WalMart World is the first book to look at this incredibly important phenomenon in global perspective, with chapters that range from its growth in the US and impact on labor relations here to its fortunes overseas. How WalMart manages this transition in the near future will play a significant role in the determining the character of the global economy. WalMartWorlds impressively broad scope makes it necessary reading for anyone interested in the global impact of this economic colossus.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Brunn, Stanley D. \/ paperback","offer_id":47844962599157,"sku":"SONG0415951372","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/5804\/8501\/files\/71RnlgqYSLL.jpg?v=1773819647","url":"https:\/\/ergodebooks.com\/products\/walmart-world","provider":"Ergodebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
