From the Paper:

" "Making sense of the prospects for the future of work and employment in a fast changing global economy is a formidable task" (Nolan2005). This is especially true for large companies and organizations such as Wal-Mart. "Each week, more than 100 million people patronize Wal-Mart Stores and Sam's Clubs, with more than 50 percent of this customer base being minorities" (Top 10 Best Companies 2005). Wal-Mart recognizes the importance in diversity in the workplace and continues to take measures that will continue the growth of minority employees as well as focusing on the merchandise and needs of minorities. Today, Wal-Mart considers the problems with diversity as important and continues to take a look at operating management plans, strategic work team utilization, diversity in employees and management, and diversity in managing conflict and stress, strategic appraising and rewarding employees and management, and diversity in all areas of operations."
