Sam Walton did that because there was a demand for cheap products available at one central location that had just about everything from groceries to electronics to clothing to household goods. He didn't do it just because he had money.
He invested his money in an idea.
Uh...sort of what all business owners do.
I, for the life of me, dont get where you were going with that post.
It was nothing more than a "punt" if you ask me.
Walton wouldn't have invested his money in that idea if he didn't think there was demand for it. And if he had thought so, but been wrong, his money would have been lost and there would be no such thing as Wal-Mart today.
The determining factor is always demand, not capital.
if he didnt have the capital , the demand would have not been met...so I see the determining factor being the capital.
And by the way...no one was out there saying "I want a one stop shoppingt place with low prices"....it was an idwea that having one would likely create the demand for one.
Do you think the inventor of the firsbee invented it and produced it becuase there were people out there sayin...
"I wish I had a plastic disc to throw around"?
