Скачать или смотреть How Walmart Made America Pay Less (Sam Walton’s EDLP)

Sam Walton didn’t win by inventing flashy products—he won by turning price into a system. This short breaks down the Walmart playbook behind EDLP (Everyday Low Prices): relentless cost-cutting, tough supplier negotiations, and a logistics machine that scaled faster than most competitors.

In small-town America, Walton focused on one repeatable question: how do you sell it cheaper every single day—without relying on constant “sales” or coupon gimmicks? The answer was operational discipline: move inventory efficiently, cut friction everywhere, and use volume to push costs down again and again.

That loop—lower costs → lower prices → more volume → even lower costs—didn’t just build Walmart. It reshaped American retail and helped normalize cheaper everyday essentials for millions of shoppers.
