[...] Jorgensen is writing that textbook as we speak. The nation’s largest retailer hired him in 2013 to help overhaul a company badly shaken by allegations its executives regularly bribed officials in Mexico to speed up store construction. In addition to hiring Jorgensen, Walmart has spent $100 million over the past two years hiring thousands of employees to work on compliance, reorganizing its corporate structure, training workers and rolling out new technology. Today, faster transportation and the Internet have largely erased national borders, aided by major trade deals like NAFTA and the still pending Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement.
