520 Walmart and "Made in China" are practically synonymous;
Walmart imports some 70 percent of its merchandise from
China. Walmart is now also rapidly becoming a major retail
presence there, with close to two hundred Walmarts in more
than a hundred Chinese cities. What happens when the
world's biggest retailer and the world's biggest country
do business with each other? In this book, a group of
thirteen experts from several disciplines examine the
symbiotic but strained relationship between these giants.
The book shows how Walmart began cutting costs by
bypassing its American suppliers and sourcing directly
from Asia and how Walmart's sheer size has trumped all
other multinationals in squeezing procurement prices and,
as a by-product, driving down Chinese workers' wages.China
is also an inviting frontier for Walmart's global
superstore expansion. As China's middle class grows, the
chain's Western image and affordable goods have become
popular. Walmart's Arkansas headquarters exports to the
Chinese stores a unique corporate culture and management
ideology, which oddly enough are reminiscent of Mao-era
Chinese techniques for promoting loyalty. Three chapters
separately detail the lives of a Walmart store manager, a
lower-level store supervisor, and a cashier. Another
chapter focuses on employees' wages, "voluntary" overtime,
and the stores' strict labor discipline. In 2006, the
official Chinese trade union targeted Walmart, which is
antilabor in its home country, and succeeded in setting up
union branches in all the stores. Walmart in China reveals
the surprising outcome.Contributors: Diana Beaumont,
