>For example when the founder of Walmart died employees could have been given shareholding in the company.

Wrong on so many accounts. First of all, nobody works at Walmart. They associate, and are called accordingly.

Second, if they had a stake in the company, it would be driven deep into the heart of the company.

Third, if they had a share each, they'd have to change their attitude. Perhaps the theft-by-staff would be reduced, perhaps some of them may even start smiling and get into some semblance of positive attitude, or even good mood while associating. They may even stay long enough to remember, and be remembered by the regular customers. The whole image of the shop would be ruined and they'd go out of business real soon, unless they'd reinvent it - which would perhaps keep the money in their pockets, but would lose the identity completely. If it came to worst, they may even replace the noisy ventilation to something that would evacuate the stink of cheap plastic and chemicals in the bread with something pleasant. And where would the people of Walmart hang out then?
