Retail Digital, the pioneering media platform for all things retail, looks into the influence that Walmart has had on the market while ensuring its own future as the world's leading retailer.

Bryan Roberts provides a comprehensive overview , not only of Walmart as a single entity, but at the state of high street retailing in general, and the trends that the industry need to be aware of, not just in the future, but immediately.
