A structured and ongoing approach to cost control is an essential part of any well-managed business. Finding ways to reduce operating costs is typically a priority for Tesco.

The measures represent a balance between external measures for shareholders and customers and internal measures of critical business processes, innovation and learning and growth.

When looking at the political factors for Tesco, and, as it operates in a globalized environment with locations across the world, the company’s performance is extremely influenced by the political and legislative functions of each country. In terms of legislations under employment, the government really encourages retailers to provide work-place opportunities from, flexible, lower paid, local based jobs to highly skilled, paid, and centrally located jobs (Balchin, 1994) to meet certain demands relating to students, senior citizens and working parents. The company understands that while being in the retail industry, it has a large impact on individuals and the work place (the development of new stores may often be seen as a conflict to other retail sectors due to the fact that the ‘traditional’ stores go out of business or are forced to cut certain cost in order to being able to compete) as being a fundamentally local and labour-intensive sector.

Managers are encouraged to use financial measures like these to demonstrate their financial position to shareholders. (Kaplan and Norton
