Comparing Of Tesco Plc. And Spice Grill

 A public limited company is when someone’s company has been put on the stock exchange which can be bought or sold into. Moreover, I will also be using evidence gathered through the other pieces of coursework that have been done. Tesco’s profits are to be estimated to be £1.64 bn with intentions to grow every 9 months so that they can maintain an increase every single year.

Tesco has been operating in Hackney since the 1920s which was a shopping store in which they will provide customer satisfaction with services that will benefit them effectively. Over the last 70 years of operating, Tesco has turned into one of the biggest superstores in the world and within the last 10 years, Tesco had started its expansion into Europe and some parts of Asia. As well as this Tesco had innovated the company name by introducing new ideas on how the company can even more profitable and they do this by marketing, advertising, and new ideas which will benefit them in the future. The turning point for Tesco was the introduction of the Tesco Club Card which was the introduction of a loyalty card given to customers so that whenever they come back to the shop they will get points and eventually use those points to redeem deals or products for free.

Tesco PLC History

Tesco PLC was founded in 1919 by Jack Cohen, He started to run his business by selling surplus army stock in a stall in Hackney with intentions to make a profit.20 years later Cohen had opened his 100th in Burnt Oak which shows his successful run in the shopping industry. Furthermore, his legacy still lives on as Tesco is booming with production as it is creating a worldwide effect on how it’s going to make more profit each year. This introduction by Cohen shows the effective benefits of starting and promoting his business. As little as Cohen’s £30 investment had turned to billions and billions worth today. As of 2019 Tesco Has reached its 100th year which shows ideas of Tesco’s evolution over the last 100 years. They have made 10’s of billions within the last 19 years which shows that they are the biggest superstore in UK history. This is important as it gives Tesco the advantage of being better than the other competitors leading up to the comparison with the superstore industry.

Tesco Initiatives over the Years

Tesco PLC is a business owned by shareholders in which continues to grow the company so that they can gain a profit from it. Shareholders are people who either buy in a company or buy a share in the business because they believe it can make them more money by investing and during a time that amount invested will either increase or decrease, depending on whether the business is doing well. This ownership has advantages and disadvantages. One advantage of being a PLC leadership is PLC is programmed to be easier for workers and owners as debt is being paid with other major holders which therefore prevents bust. Another advantage of being a PLC is that shareholders can exploit the market for better opportunities which can lead to those shareholders making a cash flow. A disadvantage of being a PLC company is that there are threats that someone will buy enough shares to overrule the company. As well as another disadvantage can be shareholders in PLCs want short-term profit and the idea of waiting long term doesn’t fit in the profile of a shareholder which can lead to shareholders pulling out of the company. Tesco’s shareholders have limited liabilities which is when shareholders are legally responsible for all the company debts but this is only to the majority of the shareholders, not the holders that only have a little share in the company.` Compared to unlimited liability, limited liability has many advantages over unlimited. For example, if you have limited liability ownership you wouldn’t face much financial risk as shareholders are supporting you to make the company get profit and they help you clear debts and financial issues. Whilst being an unlimited liability you experience potential financial loss which is not good for your business profit per year.

Tesco in 1919 was only a market stall with intentions to sell surplus which was after the first world war. Intentions of opening a market stall were to make a profit and now Tesco being a multi-billion pound company they are estimated to have a net worth of $30.07 billion as of November 2019. Tesco had expanded over the years and the turning point of Tesco Was when they decided to sell in different departments. This can be when they were selling electronics, clothes, books, petrol, financial services, internet services, telecom, and music services. This was a great investment for a business like Tesco as it made them more recognizable to customers which is great for long-term business as it makes Tesco’s the main place to shop which will lead to major profit due to the diversity Tesco offers to business.

Tesco International Market Reach

Tesco has opened over 7,000 stores worldwide intending to serve and achieve customer satisfaction. They have over 500,000 employees worldwide supporting the brand and achieving the goal of helping the local communities around the world. Tesco has over 80 million shopping trips worldwide and these stores opened in the UK, Ireland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Malaysia, India, China. This expansion of Tesco’s to opened worldwide has given more opportunities to increase profits and this will also increase the amount of money made per day and also increase of profit per year. As well as this Tesco beats the profits every year and this is emphasized when Tesco last year had recorded a 28% increase in profits which shows Tesco dominating the retailer business. Compared to its competitors Tesco is leading by opening more stores worldwide which makes Tesco making more money than competitors. This shows Tesco’s worldwide expansion leading them to have profits which can enable them to succeed in the future. As Well as this, money can be invested in innovating Tesco stores around the world which is even better as they will be generating more money than ever. In the UK alone Tesco has 3,751 stores open which shows that Tesco wants the majority of their customers coming from the UK as this is good for business as it is showing the expansion for Tesco PLC being a mega-company.Compared to their main competitor Sainsbury they have opened 1,423. Moreover, this shows that Tesco beats their competitors by outshining them to achieve customer satisfaction but compared to Asda or Sainsbury they don’t have many customers innovations. Moreover, I can infer that Sainsbury doesn’t give the same treatment given in comparison to Tesco’s shopping environment.

Sectors

Sectors in business are separated into 3 parts. Primary, Secondary and Tertiary. These sectors are how products are made, manufactured, and sold. The primary sector is getting the raw materials. For example, getting wool from sheep. This is primarily as they are gaining the raw materials to make a cotton pillow. The secondary sector is when the product will be manufactured in a factory and this will be sent to a retail company to be sold. The tertiary sector is selling the product that has been supplied by the supplied from the secondary sector. These products get sold by being advertised by Tesco and this happens so that Tesco can make most of their products in-store so that they can maximize profits as well. So this leads to the idea that Tesco is a part of ⅓ of the sectors which is territory and this is good for Tesco’s business as they can continue being supplied goods to function for their company which influences competitors to try to do better which is difficult as Tesco come up with innovative ideas as well.

Tesco’s purpose is to create a friendly shopping environment with objectives to help people shop for their everyday lives. They help customers with a satisfactory shopping trip. Moreover, they target being the best retail superstore in the UK by beating competitors such as Asda, Sainsbury, and Morrison. Tesco’s main purpose is to maximize profits every year to innovate their brand. To achieve the number one spot of being the UK’s biggest superstore they need to have new ideas in place to be number 1 and this begins with the introduction of Tesco’s meal deal which is a drink, crisp, sandwich for just £3. This beats all competitors trying to equalize deals like these and this is effective for people who may not be financially good and this leads to mass profit at the end of the day.

An organizational structure is how a business operates and there are four different structures that businesses use for a swift working environment. There is flat, hierarchical, functional, and matrix. A flat structure is when there are no levels of management, less supervision of employees, and an increase in decision making. (This is generally seen in sole traders). The hierarchical structure is the chain of commands which goes from the owner of the company, regional manager, store manager, employees. This is beneficial for businesses like Tesco as it can provide a fast working environment as it is showing off the system of power and it shows to the employee who is the power of the store and what they can do to get better so it can prolong a great customer service and as well as this can increase employees morale as they can get one to one with the managers. matrix organizational structure is a structure of a corporation in which the reporting relationships are defined as a grid or matrix rather than in the conventional hierarchy. In other words, workers have dual roles of responsibility-generally to a functional supervisor as well as a product manager. Functional structure is employees are separated into departments and is separated because of employees’ specialties. E.g I.T department or finance department is an example of a functional structure. This can be beneficial for a business like Tesco because it can enable a specialty in an employee’s work behavior and it can succeed in a sale if they are confident in the sale they are trying to make. But Tesco mainly falls under hierarchical structure because it allows for specialization, it establishes a clear picture of authority and it can create a defined structure for communications between employees and managers.
