| Summary: | 碩士 === 淡江大學 === 美洲研究所碩士班 === 102 === In the recent fifty years, the MNEs have not only motivated the development of the world economy, but also have a profound impact on the parent country of the corporate and the host country. Among them, the U.S. MNEs are the main actors of the international investment, while Wal-Mart is the strongest one. As far as the total revenue is concerned, Wal-Mart is the largest company as well as the dominant retailer of the world.
Wal-Mart operates now in 26 foreign countries, including El Salvador. After the acquisition of Central America Retail Holding Company in 2005, Wal-Mart officially extended its business in the five countries of Central America. Eight years later, the enterprise almost has the absolute majority of the market share in every country of the region, but only in El Salvador, its number of stores and market share are behind a local company, named “Súper Selectos.” To explore the causes of the facts mentioned above, the thesis will focus on three issues, which are the Wal-Mart effects, marketing competitiveness of corporates, and the critical success factors of enterprises.
