Walmart wanted to settle the international issues they were facing without as little coverage as possible. In addition, they didn’t want to enter a legal battle or have their name dragged through the mud. At first, the government demanded $600 million, but they settled on $300 million in the end. That is definitely a lot of money. Do you think it could potentially harm the business?
Paying The Price
