Business researchers at the University of Arkansas and colleagues at the University of South Carolina have launched a major project examining Walmart's 7-year-old sustainability effort. Although intended as a teaching tool, the project analyzes the range of issues the world's largest retailer experienced in envisioning and implementing a broad strategy. It will also help other companies understand obstacles and the difficult choices that both organizations and individuals face when adopting a sustainability strategy.
