Retail Traditions Hit a Wall at Wal-Mart China

(Beijing) – Zhong Shidan started climbing the Wal-Mart career ladder 18 years ago after she joined the U.S. retail giant's Shenzhen outlet as a shop assistant.

Today, Zhong holds a high-level operations department position and oversees the company's more than 80,000 employees in China. She goes by the English name Grace and works hard to reflect well on Wal-Mart as an executive who is persistent, smart and focused.
