Assess Walmart’s corporate social responsibility using the four-part CSR model. Is Walmart socially responsible despite having a devastating impact on small merchants? What responsibility, if any, does Walmart have to these merchants or to the communities it serves?

What economic, legal, ethical, and philanthropic responsibilities does the company have, and what is the nature and extent of these responsibilities?
