An easy to read introduction to how Sam Walton built Walmart.

[Vanroth · Rating 3 out of 5]

this book is really easy to digest, there's simple words and it's easy to understand. there are some take back points from what the author has written but there's not that much insight into Sam Walton life. It's a quick summarised book about Sam Walton. it's only take around half a day for a normal speed reader like me.
