(1,418 posts)the person asked "what I proposed" as a solution to Wal-Mart's dominance.
I gave a credible solution-- one that has in fact been used numerous times in our nation- tho' not
necessarily against wal-mart (yet).
I work in the retail business, so I undertstand perfectly well WHY wal-mart is so successful. so what?
so was K-Mart, until wal-mart came along.
my point again is collaboration-- a concept lost on many in bloggo world and elsewhere.
GM and Ford used to think they were hot S**t, too, until the Japanese car manufacturers came along.
large American companies have a track record of getting too big and getting too arrogant.
I contend some person(s) with the right idea and some funding can in fact compete against wal-mart.
will it be easy? of course not. but to imply wal-mart is "invincible" or unbeatable-- I don't believe so.
