Barone is the best. Why is Walmart successful? Speed and flexibility. Especially speed to able to adapt quickly. In the modern business world, speed = strength.
The Japanese have some of the flexibility of Walmart. The unions have been a dead weight around the neck of American companies. God point about erh lack of mobility. Vdery different from the oil business, where a guy COULD start as a roughnecks and end up as a superintedent or owner.
