The retail revolution
KShs 1,695.00Wal-Mart is the world’s largest company and it sets the standard–both social and commercial–for a huge swath of the global economy.

At the same time, he anticipates a day of reckoning, when challenges to the Wal-Mart way, at home and abroad, are likely to change the far-flung empire. Insightful and original, The Retail Revolution gives a fresh and necessary understanding of the phenomenon that has reshaped international commerce.
