It is also very difficult for any company in the industry to achieve the large sales volume like Wal-Mart does to have such a bargaining power over suppliers. The structure of the company’s management and communication styles, operation autonomy inside Wal-Mart, and management team though…

Melanie Hicks writes, “when things go according to plan, Tennessee companies have, when they are market leaders, is out of complacency” (2010).…
