Financialization, globalization and the making of profits by leading retailers (2012, methodology): “This last hypothesis is based on a number of empirical elements: the anti-union position of Wal-Mart is well-known, as are its low wages and minimal labour standards (for example, Bair and Bernstein, 2006; Hugill, 2006; Lichtenstein, 2006; Basker, 2007).”
Political Contestation in Global Production Networks (2008, background): “Walmart, for example, has firmspecific efficiency advantages that it has leveraged into substantial market power over competitors and suppliers, but this power takes on more explicitly political dimensions when wielded over labor and government agencies (Lichtenstein, 2006).”
Geographies of markets: Materials, morals and monsters in motion (2011, background): “Wal-Mart’s control over global consumer markets is a result of standardization transmitted through the supply chains, seeing to it that globally standardized products go hand in hand with globally standardized sources of supply (Petrovic and Hamilton, 2006: 140).”
Supply Chains and the Human Condition (2009, background): “In Lichtenstein 2006, 243 /60.”
