Everything you need to know about Jeff's strategy is in this book: http://www.amazon.com/Sam-Walton-Made-In-America/dp/05535628...
Different medium and market, but basically the same overall strategy.

Walmart was a culmination of several decades of Walton's life that he dedicated to mastering, and dominating, retail.
