Answer 2

Exxon Mobil Corp., a company with its roots in the Rockefeller family back in 1880, once again is the world's largest company. The most common entity of Exxon Mobil Corp. is the gasoline stations where we purchase fuel for our vehicles. Exxon is followed by PetroChina Co., whose market shares have been dropping. As of March 26th, PetroChina has fallen behind Exxon Mobil, surrendering the title of world's biggest company to the aforementioned Exxon.

Answer 3

WAL-MART IS BIG. To understand just how big, consider that on Nov. 23, 2001, the 40-year-old retailer sold more than $1.25 billion worth of goods in a single day. The company has 4,457 stores, 30,000 suppliers, annual sales of more than $217 billion—and one information system. According to CIO Kevin Turner, running centralized IS with homegrown, common-source code gives Wal-Mart a competitive advantage and helps the company maintain one of the lowest expense structures in retail.

Turner stepped into the top CIO spot two and a half years ago at age 34, when former CIO Randy Mott departed for Dell. Turner had served as Mott's second in command, and prior to that he ran application development as Wal-Mart's youngest corporate officer (29 years old). In 1997, Turner became the first recipient of the Sam M. Walton Entrepreneur of the Year award, a very high honor at the company. But when asked about his accomplishments, this CIO talks primarily about the capabilities and accomplishments of the Wal-Mart IS team, the vision of its CEOs past and present, and how blessed (his word) he is to work with such a remarkable group of people and for a company like Wal-Mart.

CIO Editor in Chief Abbie Lundberg talked with Turner this spring about Wal-Mart's competitive position, IS strategy, development methodology and the importance of security for a just-in-time company in a post-9/11 world.
