Case Study Of Asda

Tesco’s employees also need to help the customers and other stakeholders in order for them to return. This could also lead to people buying more shares in the business. The influence is customer satisfaction, stock, whether the customer returns because of Tesco’s quality products and prices or whether their service is good, if they don’t then Tesco’s customer service is not good enough.
