What are the major issues in this case? What does Walmart$$s experience tell you about the business and society relationship?

$2.$ What happened to the $$Penney Idea,$$ Sam$$s ten$-$foot rule, and the Buy America Plan? Were these discontinued over time or did they fade away and get lost when Sam died?
