Just Me - India

Rating: *** 1/2

This is the autobiography of Sam Walton - founder of Walmart.

 

As you would expect it has the story of Walmart, and its stupendous growth. An interesting aspect of the book is - the way it is written. There are paragraphs (quotes) from several people associated with Walmart across the book. That sometimes distracts the reader - as there are too many of such quotes.

 

 One of the things Sam Walton states about 'Charity' is : Walmart or he does not believe in charity for the sake of charity. They would and are charitable where they think they should be. This is really cool - because thats the way it should be. Business Enterprises do not exist for Charity - they exist for Business. A business enterprise that drops its profits, will also not be able to pass on the benefits of its success to its customers !

 

But, if such a success story interests you - this book is for you.
