If you were the CEO of Wal-mart, what would you do?

If you were the CEO of Wal-mart, what would you do?

Posted on Mar 31st, 2007 by Andrew
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for March 31, 2007:

If I were the CEO of Wal-mart I would take 50% of quarterly profits and continuously invest them into an endowment for the nations most underfunded public schools.  Each year the endowment would pay out around 80% of the overall growth, ensuring that money goes out towards supplies, programs and facilities for students as well as, and more importantly raising teachers salaries.  It is logical to assume that if teaching were a better paying career it could potentially evolve into a competitive job market, in turn requiring a higher degree of excellence of teachers.
As for the remaining 50% of Wal-marts annual profits they should be fed back into the company. Basically, scaling back on where those funds currently go. Can't take away all that extra money as I'm sure it is currently being spent very wisely and in similarily productive and proactive ways.
