Abstract
This paper examines the investigation, led by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which discovered that the janitorial contractors providing cleaning services to Wal-Mart had employed illegal aliens to fill their contract. The paper describes the beginnings of the investigation, who was involved in the investigation, the civil settlement that resulted from the investigation, and the legal implications of the settlement for immigration law enforcement.
From the Paper
"Wal-Mart has earned phenomenal success and accolades over the last 3 decades. They have grown from a local retailer to a global powerhouse. Yet, the sky is not always blue in the land of discount pricing. A variety of special interest groups often try to thwart the opening of the next SuperCenter, with concerns of taking away sales from local, small businesses and even complaints of discrimination in their hiring and promotion processes. Now these groups can add another item to their list of concerns when it comes to another Wal-Mart opening in their town, the employment of illegal aliens."

Abstract
This paper reports that the impact of illegal alien immigrants on the California health care system is astronomical especially because illegal immigrants bring infectious disease into California and the United States. Many of these diseases have never been known in the United States while others were long ago eradicated from the U.S. The author stresses that California physicians must develop an initiative to address preventative health care and disease detection and treatment for this population. The paper recommends a qualitative methodology using focus groups of California private practitioners to formulate a plan through which private practitioners may provide medical care for illegal immigrant aliens.

"FAIR further reports: "Immigrants are often uninsured and underinsured. Forty-three percent of noncitizens under 65 have no health insurance. That means there are 9.4 million uninsured immigrants, a majority of whom are in the country illegally, constituting 15 percent of the total uninsured in the nation in the mid-1990s. The cost of the medical care of these uninsured immigrants is passed onto the taxpayer, and strains the financial stability of the health care community. Another problem is immigrants' use of hospital and emergency services rather than preventative medical care."

The Low Prices of Wal-Mart, 2008.
This paper explains why there is typically a great public outcry surrounding every new Wal-Mart store and yet every recently opened Wal-Mart is usually filled with shoppers.

Abstract
This paper discusses why the very people who disdain Wal-Mart shoppers and the idea of Wal-Mart in general, will often find themselves shopping at Wal-Mart, taking advantage of its famously advertised low, low prices, all of the time. The paper relates that, although the goods and the shopping experience itself often seem faceless and standardized at Wal-Mart, the lure of low prices is hard to avoid. The paper contends, however, that while it may seem as if the Wal-Mart juggernaut of success is nearly unstoppable, this is not exactly the case. The paper then highlights some of Wal-Mart's failures and concludes that Wal-Mart's success is not inevitable, even in America, but to ensure that Wal-Mart does not take over America, Americans must rethink the way they view their social responsibilities as consumers, the ways they shop, and how they buy goods.
From the Paper
"The areas where Wal-Mart has failed to prosper in the United States tend to be urban locations, where people see shopping as a communal experience, such as in New York City, where people can easily walk from shop to shop, from the florist's to a cheese shop. Wal-Mart provides brand-name, standardized goods that many consumers rely upon, but are often not especially unique. This is why women who might go to Wal-Mart for diapers and paper towels, which have very little resonance or social cache in terms of brand loyalty, but may go to other stores for clothing, fragrance and toiletries.
"However, although the goods and the shopping experience itself often seem faceless and standardized at Wal-Mart, the lure of low prices is hard to avoid. Paying less for paper napkins frees up consumer dollars to pay for higher-end items elsewhere, like lattes at Starbucks, or other luxury goods. In the suburbs, where consumers have little access to public transportation, the ability to do one-stop shopping for low-price goods makes up for the lack of ambiance at Wal-Mart and a lack of a personal connection with the sellers and owners of the establishment."

From the Paper
"At the heart of Wal-Mart's supply chain today is the need for translate the many approaches manufacturers have of producing, selling and delivering products versus the significantly different processes that mass merchandisers need to be successful. Bridging this gap of communication and making transactions as efficient as possible, in effect creating what many industry experts call a lean supply chain, is Wal-Marts' ultimate goal. Underscoring this point during a recent AMR Research conference Gary Maxwell, Senior Vice President of Merchandise Replenishment, stated that "the top priority of the Wal-Mart supply chain operations is to bridge the gap between suppliers and retailers' approaches to doing business,"(Weston, Garf, 2005). Mr. Maxwell continued during the conference to outline the key goals and objectives for Wal-Mart's supply chain strategy in the near term. Wal-Marts' supply chain objectives are grouped into a focus into the three areas of efficiency, education and electronic enablement of transactions."

Health Services for Illegal Aliens, 2004.
Argues that illegal workers in the United States should receive public health benefits.
700 words (approx. 2.8 pages), 2 sources, MLA, £ 17.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Health services are crucial for any American, illegal alien or not. The paper argues that to refuse health care to people because they are in the country illegally is not only cruel and heartless; it simply ignores the foundation of freedom upon which America's ancestors built the country. This paper further argues that illegal aliens in the United States should be entitled to receive basic health services and gives compelling reasons why this is true.
From the Paper
"However, as these immigrants enter the country illegally, work here illegally, and do not (or can not) retain citizenship, a growing number of the public and their legislators believe these people should not receive basic needs when they are in need, such as health care. California voters passed Proposition 187 in 1994, and part of the proposition banned public services to undocumented aliens working and living in the state. Eventually, the higher courts threw much of the Proposition out, but it gained national attention and several others states that have large immigrant populations, such as Florida, began writing similar legislation for their own states. However, most immigrants say they do not come to America for the social services they can receive ? they come for jobs, and legislating against them cannot change that."

Abstract
This paper discusses how for the retail chain Wal-Mart, the need for continuing to perfect its supply chain has a much more strategic role in their core businesses than does the pricing strategies the firm relies on. The paper then proceeds to show how the Wal-Mart supply chain is going to continually underscore its leadership position in discount retailing. To accomplish this, the Wal-Mart supply chain organization is defined including its current accomplishments and challenges. Specifically the corporate-wide roles of Wal-Marts' supply chain operations are discussed, including their strategies regarding Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) implementations in warehouses worldwide and their commitment to collaborative advanced planning and scheduling. A cost/benefit analysis of the Wal-Mart supply chain is included as a basis for suggesting further improvements. Finally, Wal-Mart's' ethical considerations with streamlining their supply chain are explored.

Wal-Mart's Supply Chain Today
How Wal-Mart Is Defining Supply Chain Best Practices
From the Paper
"As the largest mass merchandiser in the world, Wal-Mart's work in supply chain execution, research, and policies defines best practices for the broader high volume retailing industry worldwide. Wal-Mart is comprised of three operating segments including the Wal-Mart stores, Sam's Club and the International Stores. The typical Wal-Mart discount store as 50 departments or more and a few are offering groceries in addition to apparel, fabrics, stationery and books, shoes, house wares, hardware, electronics, home furnishings, small appliances, automotive accessories, gardening accessories, sporting goods, toys, and pet food. Wal-Mart moved into the SuperCenter retailing concept in the 1990s and has at this point 1,700 of these SuperCenters worldwide. These SuperCenters range in size from slightly over 90,000 square feet to 260,000 square feet. These are substantially larger than its normal stores, ranging in size from 90,000 square feet to 261,000 square feet. Wal-Mart also runs smaller stores called Neighborhood Markets in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah. "

From the Paper
"Governor Wilson commented that the border, which separates Mexico and Southern California are contoured to let a steady supply of illegal immigrants into the US (Hanson 1994). That border is porous enough to make the passage easy and frequent, like every day. These illegal aliens come to the US mainland to work, to study or even to commit crimes. In reaction to Medi-Cal-connected frauds, Governor Wilson increased the number of investigators from 66 to 101. Many of those crossing the border had no birth certificate, no Social Security number or any other identification. This made the job of fraud investigators quite difficult. But what was really frustrating about the policy was that many of the services secured or given these undocumented aliens were not available to legal residents themselves. Yet these federal policies were sustained by taxpayers' money. There was indication of bipartisan support for the initiative in California."

"Wal-Mart's management faced significant challenges in 2006 - challenges that could significantly affect the achievement of its growth objectives. The company was being condemned for business practices ranging from low pay and stingy health care benefits to exporting jobs and destroying small businesses. Wal-Mart was also the subject of litigation, including a class action discrimination suit. The company's second highest executive had been forced to leave the company after being convicted of fraud and tax evasion. In addition, filmmaker Robert Greenwald premiered a scathing documentary in 2005 titled, Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Prices."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the Wal-Mart retail chain has proven itself in every domain into which it has stepped. It explores the strategies of how Wal-Mart has used research and development money to turn itself into one of the world?s leading discount retail stores. It also looks at how Wal-Mart has proven itself globally and developmentally and how it will continue to be the leader of technology in the low-cost and mass markets, exactly what it has always done best.
From the Paper
"During the past 20 years, Wal-Mart has grown to immense proportions. The entire conglomeration of Wal-Mart stores consists of retail stores, both national and international, websites, and other acquisitions and partnerships which have contributed to its global success story. In order to maintain the international rate of success which Wal-Mart has created for itself, the company must be bold, aggressive, and on the forefront of all technology. The area of research and development is a key function within Wal-Mart for the opportunities which it creates for the company?s future."

Wal-Mart, 2005.
This paper examines the controversial question: Is Wal-Mart's everyday low pricing policy detrimental to the economy?
6,855 words (approx. 27.4 pages), 18 sources, APA, £ 109.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the giant retailer Wal-Mart's achievement of a long-term every day low-pricing strategy, which gives it a competitive advantage over other retailers, creates the perception of Wal-Mart as a threat to communities and the general economy. The author draws three positions from the literature regarding this controversy: (1) Wal-Mart's everyday low-pricing strategy is detrimental to the economy; (2) Wal-Mart's everyday low-pricing strategy is NOT detrimental to the economy but rather is merely a current dominating force in the historical evolution of the retail industry and (3) there are both costs and benefits to the economy as a result of Wal-Mart's every day low-pricing strategy. The paper concludes that, from an economical standpoint, Wal-Mart is not necessarily detrimental to the economy but rather is a force of change, which will continue as competitors move in and consumer demand shifts.

From the Paper
"Fishman (2003) comes from the supplier's side writing about those who have been detrimentally affected by Wal-Mart. Fishman is against Wal-Mart outsourcing overseas which have increased U.S. unemployment in the manufacturing sector. He blames this on Wal-Mart's "relentless push to bring every day low prices" and its enormity that allows Wal-Mart to be able to do this, and that we are "shopping ourselves out of jobs". In contrast, Anderson (2004) perceives that Wal-Mart is good for communities as it allows residents to buy more goods due to lower prices with the benefit of having a larger variety of items to choose from than before, and time saved by being able to shop at one store for all goods ("one roof"). This makes the consumer better off than before Wal-Mart moved into their community. Anderson believes that small businesses are not forced to close but rather, consumers choose to shop elsewhere."

Abstract
In assessing the effects of world wide globalization, the author takes Wal-Mart as a case study and discusses the impact this dominant American retail store has achieved in other parts of the world. The author explains how the enormous successes Wal-Mart has nationally tempts it to find similar success abroad and then continues to analyze the effects this has on the countries' economies and consumer habits.
From the Paper
For years now, the American mega-retail store super giant Wal-Mart, founded in Rogers, Arkansas in 1962 by the late Sam Walton ("Wal-Mart-Timeline") has been expanding its international reach, with some impressive, although varied success. For example, according to "Wal-Mart" (Wikipedia, August 7, 2005), Wal-Mart:
is the largest retailer and largest company in the world based on revenue. If Wal-Mart were its own economy, it would rank 33rd in the world . . . It is the largest private employer in the United States, Mexico and Canada. It holds an 8.9 percent retail store market share-$8.90 out of every $100 spent in U.S. retail stores is spent at Wal-Mart.

Abstract
In this article, the writer examines the operations of the Wal-Mart Corporation. The writer claims that Wal-Mart faces its most serious challenge to growth in confronting the need to expand globally. The writer points out that to date, Wal-Mart's domestic growth has continued nearly unabated due to the company's ability to translate the economics of globalization in manufacturing and trade to their advantage in retailing. The writer notes that while the U.S. market is the primary sales catalyst of growth, global growth has been elusive and tough for Wal-Mart to attain. In this paper, the writer explores the issue of global growth of the Wal-Mart Corporation.

From the Paper
"Wal-Mart's store base, which according to the case study numbered 4,300 stores in 2001, attracting 100 million visitors per week in the U.S. alone is a sizeable platform from which a multitude of retail businesses could be launched. The decisions to go into do-it-yourself home repair and challenge Home Depot, or into high-end electronics to compete with Best Buy, pet products, groceries or higher end merchandise to compete with Costco and other big-box retailers, called this term due to their selling of durable goods right from the warehouse floor, are all attractive growth strategies. There is also the strategy of refurbishing stores and adding in mid-priced clothing and apparel for men and women with a designer label, a comparable strategy to what Target is doing with Isaac Mizrahi and Mossimo for example. All these are branding and selling strategies and it's critical to not overlook the operational issues of the company as well including their supply chain and focus on relentlessly cutting costs through highly effective strategies for managing suppliers. All the above issues are exacerbated and turn into major challenges however when put into the context of the European and Asian cultures Wal-Mart needs to migrate and succeed in to continue growing."

Abstract
This paper reviews the concept and history of Unidentified Flying Objects, or UFOs, and the influence UFOs have had on the world entertainment, and the influence the world of entertainment has had on our perception of UFOs and alien life.
From the Paper
"Unidentified Flying Objects, (UFOs) were once only saucers tied to a string and filmed by an 8mm camera in the 1950s. By the 1970s they became a bit more believable when 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' presented images of technologically advanced UFOs, with images fitting the preconceived idea of aliens driving them through the desert. Yet, by the time 'E.T.', (The Extraterrestrial) was presented in the 1980s society began to take a closer look at the phenomenon of the UFO, and many within it started to relate their personal experiences in sightings, abductions, meetings, and "close encounters". Today there is a vast array of television programming focused on UFOs, and the aliens who build them."

From the Paper
"Scope of Illegal Immigration
The United States has been unable to stem the tide of illegal aliens who are estimated to number more than 3.5 million (Yang, 1994, p. 34). California absorbs more than 50 percent of the nation's illegal immigrants (Wagar, 1994, p. 4). Because of the burden this places on the state economy, California has been leading the call for a close review of federal immigration laws. However, other states like Arizona, Florida and Texas are asking for more federal funding to reimburse them for services spent on illegal aliens, such as medical care, imprisonment and education.
History of Illegal Immigration
One of the reasons why the illegal aliens have become so difficult to stop is an ideological problem in the United States concerning immigration. The U.S. government cannot determine whether it wishes..."
