Who are its key stakeholders for this launch announcement—and for the programs themselves?In September 2011, Walmart Stores Inc. announced its Global Women’s Economic Power Initiative and planned to invest billions in new programs aimed at women, including a commitment to double its purchases from women-owned businesses by 2016, provide support for training women in factories and farms that supply its stores, and donate $100 million to organizations that foster women’s economic development. “We’re stepping up our efforts to help educate, source from and open markets for women around the world,” said Walmart CEO Mike Duke.
