中国におけるウォルマート研究

Abstract

Since Wal-Mart entered Chinese retail markets in 1996, it established 126 shops in 67 cities and has been ferociously catching up to rival Kalfur. Chinese studies so far have focused on the management philosophy of Sam Walton the founder, its corporate culture and its own management strategy. Comparative studies of Wal-Mart and other major world-wide retailers are increasing recently. Considering the increasing critics on Wal-Mart, even in USA, researches are expected that do not dismiss the negative side of its success but also look into problems concerning rampant M&A conducted world-wide by Wal-Mart and the lessons applicable to Chinese retailers.
