The Wal-Mart Effect: Review

You may have noticed that I've been reading (or listening to) a lot of business-related books lately. It's just the mood I'm in right now. I'm thoroughly enjoying these books.
The Wal-Mart Effect is a very interesting book. It's not as generally captivating as Blink or Freakonomics, but it's a great read if you have any interest in trying to understand the biggest retail company in the world. If you're like me, it's impossible to comprehend the scope of a business like Wal-Mart with its thousands of stores, millions of employees and billions of dollars in revenue. But if you're like me, you'll find the information in this book insightful, exciting in some ways and a little scary in others.
The Wal-Mart Effect is the kind of book that I think anyone in business should read. Partially because Wal-Mart is changing the old rules and standards of business and partially because there are business insights that can apply to anyone in this fast-paced economy. Wal-Mart is a place that you either love or hate. No matter your opinion, you'll find something interesting in The Wal-Mart Effect.
