Abstract
Wal-Mart, the world's largest company, is famous for being nimble and flexible despite its size, constantly evolving through innovation and reliance on cutting-edge technology in transportation logistics and sales across a global network. This paper explores the similarities between Wal-Mart's corporate culture and understandings of Mao's socialist China. Based on data collected from interviews, store tours, informal conversations and observations with current and former Wal-Mart managers at two stores in China from 2004 to 2006, it examines the ways in which the company's corporate culture is translated, expressed, formally presented and enforced as a means of disciplining behaviour among management in China.
