__ ** Walmart China ** __

__ ** Human Rights  ** __ Walmart has worked with China and has opened up over 189 stores in over 101 cities within China. Walmart has also provided China's population with over 50,000 jobs. Walmart China believes in local sourcing. Wal-Mart has created multiple partnerships with over 20,000 suppliers in China. Over 95% of the goods sold in Walmart stores within China is always sourced locally. On the other hand, Walmart is focused on local talent development as well as diversity, especially when it comes to the cultivation and full usage of female staff as well as executives. 99.9% of Walmart China assets are Chinese nationals. Every store within China is managed by China's local talent. 43% of leaders within senior manager level or any level higher are women. In 2009, the company created the “Walmart China Women’s Leadership Development Commission” meant to drive women’s career development.

__ ** Global Interdependence  ** __ Wal-mart has worked with China and has seen definite signs that China has complete independence and look upon themselves as self reliant. China has a power over most other foreign power; other countries depend on China while China depends on nobody other than China. China's economic relationships are not poor but could also use work. China depends on no one other than itself and has a big enough population to survive off its own people. Other countries would go into a state of chaos because a big supplier and demander of goods has left the market.

__ ** Environment  ** __ Walmart is faithful to the idea of sustainability in China. Walmart's goal is to help reduce the impact on the environment. Walmart is attempting to integrate environment a level of friendliness as well as social standards to the global sourcing system to help build a much more sustainable supply chain which would benefit the company, and its suppliers and the communtities supplied with Walmart goods. For instance, operations with suppliers to help create more environmently friendly goods as well as to help reduce packaging.

__ ** Tolerance of Diversity  ** __ Every indivisdual's opinion is held in the highest regard. Managers are also considered "servant leaders" which means managers help all of the new associates be able to realize their potential through extensive training, praise as well as constructive feedback. The "open door" managerial philosophy helps to encourage associates to ask questions and to voice concerns within an open and honest atmosphere. The consumer is always the boss. Everything that can be possibly done is done to help make shopping at Walmart a pleasant experience. The "Ten-Foot Attitude" simply means that any associate is required to greet each person that comes into Walmart that they see. The "Satisfaction Guaranteed" refund as well as the exchange policy provides customers the possbility to have complete confident in Wal-Mart merchandise and the merchandise's quality.

How Wal-Mart has worked with China

__ ** EFFORTS TO INTERACT WITH CHINA  ** __ Wal-Mart has strived to obtain a postive working relationship with China. It has been difficult at times changing from marketing to americans to the Chinese due to restrictions. But we have come to overcome the change, but things have turned out very well for our company. We have promised to stay as economically and enviormentally safe, we promise to use LED lighting and reduce energy by 40% in our new proto stores compared to older stores and much more to help keep energy prices low and customer satisfation up, while keeping the enviroment clean and healthy. And we will continue to interact and help the stability and health and wealth of the country.

__ ** PROMOTING PROGRESS  ** __ Wal-Mart has worked with China to expand both our company globally, and to improve the lives of those who work and buy products from Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart wants to bridge the gap between farm grown food that the chinese farmers make and the upper class everyone wants to achieve. Wal-Mart achieves this by selling what is hard to find in normal lives of those living there.Wal-Mart is here too help and provide a much needed service to the people of China, that they usually would never be able to get ahold of things in normal life because it was never within their reach. Wal-mart has now put those tools and products within the reach of the people of China. Wal-Mart wants to promote growth of both China and our company.

__ ** POSTIVE RELATIONSHIP ** __ Wal-Mart has worked with China on many different types of events such as offering China helping employ Chinese citizens. 99.9% of all associates for Wal-Mart are Chinese, also 43% of the leaders at the senior management level are female. So we believe in the chance for women and men to be equal when it comes to working. We also believe in supporting local economies 95% of the merchandise in the store is sourced locally, so we believe in supporting the farmers and those who make products. The company of Wal-Mart understands that the Chinese need farming for their livelihood so we would never consider outsourcing the products to different areas. If they cannot make money selling goods they cannot spend and grow the economy Wal-Mart believes China can be. __ ** <span class="author-g-k2ujlxhoi0p3i9vn" style="cursor: auto; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-top: 0px; text-shadow: none;">NEXT 50 YEARS ** __ <span class="author-g-k2ujlxhoi0p3i9vn" style="background-color: #ffffff; cursor: auto; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-top: 0px; text-shadow: none;">Wal-Mart believes in China's future in the Ecnomy and as a country. In the next fifty years China will continue to improve economically and socially. The company believes they may soon rival the United states in terms of power. Even though they are already close to surpassing the United staes in terms of spending power, since the GDP keeps increasing every year. It is clear to see that China will be one of the top countries in terms of economical strength, so Wal-Mart will continue to encourage and stimulate this growth in spending and wealth that China is experiencing now and in the future.
