1. Wal-Mart Stores
沃尔玛百货
The mega-retailer didn't have a whole lot to complain about in fiscal 2010. Profits were up and, thanks to its sales, the company once again climbed to the top of the Fortune 500. Same-store sales were about flat for the year, but compared with Target's 2.5% decline, flat is good. Most remarkable was Wal-Mart's image overhaul. It helped that former CEO Lee Scott beefed up health care coverage for employees, thought more about the environment and became a public presence. Certain critics will never be placated and fiscal first-quarter results weren't the greatest. But there's no denying Scott left new CEO Mike Duke a company in fighting form.
2010财年，这家超级零售商可抱怨的地方不多。利润增加，而且由于销售额增长，该公司再次攀升至《财富》500强的冠军。今年沃尔玛的单店销售额和去年几乎持平，但同塔吉特百货销售额下降2.5%相比，持平已算不错。最值得注意的是沃尔玛重塑形象。前任首席执行官李?斯科特扩大了对员工医疗保险的覆盖，更关注环境，经常在公共场合露面，这些都起到了积极作用。当然，总会有人批评，而且沃尔玛第一季度的表现也不是最好的。但无可否认，斯科特给新任首席执行官麦克?杜克留下的是一个斗志昂扬的公司。
