WAL-MART IN CHINA (2012)
Introduction
Summer was making its picture-perfect debut in New
South Wales that day in October 2011, but Mr Greg
Foran hardly noticed. Newly hired away from his role as
head of Australia’s leading supermarket chain,
Woolworth’s Supermarket Division, he was set to work
as a senior vice president at Wal-Mart International, the
fastest growing division of the world’s largest retailer,
Wal-Mart Corporation. However, what exactly he would
be doing was still open to discussion. It was not until the
sudden and somewhat mysterious departure of Mr Ed
Chan, the president of Wal-Mart China, that Foran’s new
role suddenly emerged.
