Report on Tesco's PLC
The organisation in which I have decided to produce a written report
on is Tesco's PLC as they are proving to be the most dominating
organisation within the supermarket market despite Wal-Mart taking
over Safeway’s. Tesco's as an organisation is classed as the leading
supermarket within Britain, it is also the national leader within the
food sector. It is now a global organisation as tesco stores are
available in countries such as Ireland, Asia and Central Europe. The
largest Tesco store is situated in Newcastle. In 1997 Tesco's opened
their first Tesco's Extra store which has been running successfully
for the past eight years.
Tesco is a leading European based retailer with retail outlets in the
UK, Ireland, France, Central Europe and Asia. They have over 900
stores world-wide and serve over 14 million customers per week in the
UK alone. Tesco's offer food, non food and additional services for
consumers including banking and home shopping.
Tesco's responsibilities lay both internally and externally, by
internal responsibilities Tescos ensure that they look after their
employees and as to how the business is ran, and by external
responsibilities Tescos must ensure that they manage their other
branches within UK and the other countries in which they have
targeted.
Tesco's have stated that their strategies focus upon four main areas
which are Strong UK Core business, Non- Food markets, Tesco's are
currently expanding upon this by opening non food stores within the UK
to target a wider range of customers and diversifying their current
market from just food products, Retailing Services and International...

...will aid them to make more sales. The environmental
factors which are holding Tesco's back is the decrease in oil which
has resulted in an increase in the price which is an issue which has
affected all businesses and can not be prevented.
Tesco's success over the past years has been a result of using
innovative methods such as expanding overseas, shifting to 'higher
margin' non-food merchandise and maintaining a strong UK core
business. Tesco's success from the UK has accumulated from low prices,
maintaining customer loyalty, offering customers a wider range of
stores and expanding into retailing services, such as banking and
insurance, internet, mobile phones and online shopping facilities.

Tesco and Asda are the price-cutters and they are the ones who have
grown their businesses during the past five years
Tesco also has various and wide range of products and that is to meet customers’ needs of whatever customers intend to buy, nearly whatever customer intends to buy would find it underneath one ceiling (at Tesco). On the top of selling groceries Tesco sells others products such as, books, CDs, DVDs to buy, DVDs to rent, games, flowers, electronics, cosmetics, etc.
J Sainsbury's aims and objectives Their business is now focused very much on Sainsbury’s Supermarkets and Sainsbury’s Bank following the sale of Shaw’s
Its core business is based in the UK, this is due to its vast rate of expansion, which is also expanding to other countries. Tesco first started as a food business but now has grown into other areas such as the Telecoms industry, clothing industry as well as many more, allowing them to be a well-known business. This strategy stabilises a gradual growth in terms of revenue for the business.
On April 20, 2011, an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico exploded on British Petroleum’s (BP) Deepwater Horizon. As a result, of the 126 BP crew members aboard, 11-15 were reported missing. Six days later, underwater robots reveal at least two leaks are dumping 1,000 barrels of oil into the Gulf per day. Consequently, this would become one of the worst oil spills in the history of the United States and perhaps the petroleum industry. This recent Oil Spill portrays one of many dilemmas BP has faced as it scrambles to expand and globalize itself as a transnational corporation in the world economy against other oil and gas companies. Although this disastrous event has affected BP negatively, the company has found a way to overcome it, while still becoming the 6th largest in the world; it continues to do this by offshoring, outsourcing, and merging with other oil and gas companies, three key strategies BP has been using since its establishment in 1909.

America 's grocery industry is a big business. It is so big in fact, that a few major corporations dominate it. For example Walmart 's grocery business in the US accounts for approximately 56% of the company 's sales. This is the equivalent of $188B per year. It 's nearest competitor, Kroger 's total sales volume for 2014 was less than one third that of Walmart. (Soni, par. 1) Another

This assignment will attempt to determine why Marks & Spencer nearly collapsed and what they have achieved in terms of success and failure as part of their recovery programme.
Corporate gorverance as a system are directed and controlld by companies. Initially, their board of directors should take responsible for the gorverance of companies, which include setting strategic aims of companies , guarantee an effective leadership, supervising the proformance of business management and reporting on it to shareholders. The board's action should comply with the law, regulations and shareholders. In addition, the shareholders also play an important role in gorverance and they have right to decide who can be employed as the companies' directors and auditors to provide good governance structure for them. Therefore, corporate goverance can be regarded as what the board of a company does and how it sets the values of the company.
Customer demands are changing, and include the demand for a higher level of CSR, greater responsiveness to customer feedback, accessibility to sustainable goods, and organic foods and more. ASDA is more aware and responsive to these because of their active CSR campaign, and social media presence (ASDA Sustainability; 2016; Penderous, 2013). However, TESCO has an online shopping platform, clubcard services, and social media presence, all of which are +supporting social interaction with consumers and ongoing loyalty, largely built on a perceived social relationship (Molloy, 2016; Drennan, 2012).

For this assignment, I used Walmart as an example for an organization that is a major player in the U.S. economy. They have been in operation since 1962, and their services are many, including retail, groceries, electronics, and home improvement. Walmart is considered the largest among all retailers, so it truly belongs to the retail industry. They do, however, face many challenges from industry competitors, such as Target, Big Lots, and Costco. Mr. Sam Walton (Walmart’s founder), however, has earned incredible success for Walmart in the retail market with an ever-expanding customer base. He started his business back in 1945 from a branch of Ben Franklin Stores, with a focus on selling products at lower prices to get higher-volume sales at lower-profit margins.
The corporation I have chosen to assess for this project is Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart is a retail company that is incorporated in Delaware, which trades under three segments: Walmart U.S., Walmart International and Sam’s Club. The company history shows that the road to Wal-Mart was a long one. The company started under the name Walton’s 5&10, which was opened by Sam Walton in 1950 on the Bentonville town square. Over the years the company was successful and on July 2, 1962, Sam Walton opened the first Walmart store in Rogers, Ark. By 1967 the Walton family owned 24 stores and rang up $12.7 Million in sales. In 1969 the company officially became incorporate as Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. In 1970 Wal-Mart became a publicly traded company, and the first
The Moral problem in the case we are facing is that BP oil company are exploited the people, polluting the ecology, diluting the government guidelines, cheating everyone for their profits is not acceptable on part of giant company like BP .Oil being a natural resource is being extracted by the company for their vested interests neglecting the society and the climate. The food pyramid is getting affected due to its short cuts and lapse in guidelines and total negligence resulting in gross cheating and mass killing of live stocks in sea as well polluting the air. The government intervention at crisis is an example of socialism. BP operations are in more than 100 countries with several reserves are creating chaos for the people working
