The Retailer's Play-book on How to Beat Walmart - This book discusses how big-box retailers such as Walmart have made great improvements in managing their inventory, literally forcing their suppliers to conform to item-level inventory control, which is the main reason for their overwhelming success, and why small to medium-size retailers continue to follow the wrong path. Any retailer who reads this book should come away with an understanding of the importance of item-level inventory control, and how to adopt a plan to migrate to it as quickly as possible; because in times like these, where tremendous economic changes threaten all of us, if a change in methods is not made quickly, we will see more and more retailers closing up shop and heading to the bankruptcy courts. Yes, Walmart can be beaten! We just need to learn how to beat them at their own game.
