Wal-Mart Stores Inc., 2009 If you don’t want to work weekends, you shouldn’t be in retail. − Sam Walton (Explaining the Saturday Corporate Meeting) On February 1, 2009, Mike Duke took over from Lee Scott as CEO of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., the world’s biggest retailer. His new office − the same CEO office that had been occupied by founder, Sam Walton − typified the contrast between Wal-Mart’s vast size, $401 billion in sales and over two million employees, and its values of parsimony and simplicity. Fortune described the office as “no bigger than a child’s bedroom.”1
