Buy essay on Wal-Mart

I am not sure that Wal-Mart is really trying to make conditions of work and position of its employees better. I cannot agree that Wal-Mart initiatives, which you believe to be positive, are driven by the good will of Wal-Mart and its intention to develop its social responsibility policies and environmental protection strategy. Instead, I believe that all the measures undertaken by Wal-Mart are insufficient, ineffective and profit driven. In this respect, I would refer to the cost-efficiency theory and many of the positive and responsible steps undertaken by Wal-Mart can be justified by the seek for cuts of spending of the corporation and optimization of its expenses. For instance, is Wal-Mart energy-efficient for the sake of Wal-Mart’s profit or for the sale of environment protection? You argue that it is the environment protection that is the primary concern of Wal-Mart but the corporation should have taken this step earlier and in all stores, in all countries where Wal-Mart operates.
Furthermore, improvements for workers are not really efficient and often occur under the pressure of local authorities and public. Wal-Mart would never change its policies in relation to employees if there was no pressure from the part of the public and local authorities. Moreover, do you really believe that if 50% of employees are still uninsured, than Wal-Mart conducts a socially responsible policy. If other retailers have smaller share of insured employees, than they do conduct socially irresponsible policies too and Wal-Mart is just a bit better than the worst retailers. Finally, new jobs at Wal-Mart mean job cuts at smaller retailers. Hence, what is the positive impact of Wal-Mart on local economy or labor market? I think there is none.
