- Summary
-
This is a report about giant retailers - often referred to as supermarkets or big
box retailers - such as Walmart, Tesco, Carrefour, Lidl, and Aldi. What makes
these retailers special is their size: their global reach and their huge market
share in many countries. Using their size to dominate suppliers and push them
into offering lower prices is how the Giants do business. - Related documents
