After reading The Walmart in Japan opening case on page 241-242 in the Hill text, discuss the following:
Why do you believe Walmart departed from its customary Greenfield Investment approach in Japan and relied on acquisition to enter that nation?
In your opinion, has this move by Walmart into Japan been good for the Japanese consumer; if so, why?
Based on your knowledge of Walmart's operations within the United States, do you feel that those within Japan that resisted Walmart's entry into that country were correct; if so, why?
