Best Reading of the Day - Entry 0045 Walmart and Amazon.com

Excellent reading in the New York Times over the weekend.  Walmart has designs to sell all things to all people in all places around the world.  As much as anything they know eCommerce is a threat to their business but it is also an opportunity and they are moving.

Here is a snippet from the article:

A plucky Silicon Valley company, forced to compete for talented engineers, is trying it all — recruiting billboards on Highway 101; workplace perks like treadmill workstations and foosball tables; and conference rooms named after celebrities like Rihanna and Justin Bieber.

The name of that arriviste company?

Walmart.

Happy reading,
