Exercise 2

Walmart was an early leader in the area of corporate social responsibility. How do the early "Buy American" program and the "Environmental Awareness" campaign illustrate this? Were these programs actually examples of corporate social responsibility or were they gimmicks to entice customers into the stores? Are the benefits of its more recent corporate citizenship programs offset by the company's detrimental impact on merchants?
