Charles Fishman Visits Wal-Mart's Headquarters
Charles Fishman

The Washington Post called it a "must-read", and Business Week said "the folks in Bentonville won't like it". Well, it turns out Business Week may have been wrong. Charles Fishman, acclaimed author of The Wal-Mart Effect, recently visited Wal-Mart headquarters and spent the day with Wal-Mart executives. He even addressed a lunchtime audience of 60 Wal-Marters. CEO Lee Scott walked through three buildings to come and meet Fishman. His visit to Wal-Mart and the company's reaching out to him as a constructive critic will in fact form the afterword for the paperback edition of The Wal-Mart Effect.
