Functional areas in Tesco and Oxfam

This means that any funds that Tesco earns from their sales goes directly to them while with Oxfam any income they make is only used for charitable causes and paying their staff. However one big difference is that if in the unfortunate event that both companies fell into any kind of debt then a company such as Tesco could use its assets to pay of the debts. With Oxfam they would have to rely on the donations they receive from their customers. And may even have to pay of their debts with the money they have and use for

On the other hand, Oxfam purpose is to contribute towards poverty reduction in many ways impacting the world along the way. Oxfam is an international business working in approximately 90 countries for example Hong Kong. Oxfam was first founded in Oxford,

Tesco and Oxfam are both huge global businesses who both sell products to the general public however are organised completely different. In this leaflet I will compare and contrast organisational structures of both companies.

Oxfam identifies artists or celebrities who has interest in global poverty and who wants to work with them sharing same values and advocacy. They find out each individuals interest and how they want to support Oxfam. They also assess their purpose, background, manner of dealing with people and press.

It showcases many of its fundraising activities through its child sponsorship programs ad through its shops and other campaigns on its website, as well as showcases the many programs and humanitarian crisis which it provides either financial or on the ground support for. In this sense Oxfam acts very clearly as a Northern NGO as described by Fowler as a provider of aid and resources and instructions to the South by serving as a channel for these (Fowler, 1997). Oxfam sees itself as being engaged constantly with financial and resource support where there is major needs and crisis globally. Unlike many NGO’s it is happy to describe its contributions to humanitarian aid and basic development needs as charity (Oxfam International, 2013). These seems to be a major part of its operations with over 93% of its funding going towards these self-described ‘charitable’

Oxfam is an internationally renowned organisation that is acknowledged for its work in the world’s poorer societies and its role in the fight against famine and poverty. Oxfam was previously a collection of 17 individual organisations that collaborated in 1995 in order to form a single association. Therefore Oxfam cannot be associated with a single founder as it was founded by many. The name ‘Oxfam’ originates from the name of one of the original organisations called the ‘Oxford Committee for Famine Relief. This group was established in 1942 to assist those affected by the devastating outcomes of World War II that had presented during this time period. This particular establishment was started by a group of Christians who wished to make a difference. The current confederation works across the globe and aims to ‘reduce poverty and injustice’.

Oxfam’s second main stakeholder would be those that donate to Oxfam. Those that donate will be interested in seeing how much the organisation is able to do with their donations. If the organisation is able to do a lot to help then the donators will continue to donate to the cause as the individuals will be able to see how they are making a difference. If there were no evidence of an improvement for those in need, then the donators would stop donating to the cause. This will influence Oxfam to continue helping people in need and to also document how they have been helping as this will aid those who are uncertain about donating to understand how the organisation is helping those in need.

Oxfam International was established in 1942 in Oxford England and started out as a fundraiser for giving food to children in Greece during World War II. “As stated by the World Bank, there are about 702 million people in the world that are in severe poverty and live on $1.90 a day.” For the individuals who live in these situations it is hard for them to get food and shelter. (Singer, 2017) Oxfam is a “private fund organization” that gives help and aid to the poor and the communities that are struck with disastrous situations. It provides assistance and gives support to issues that includes agriculture, gender equality, responding to emergencies and individuals “minority rights” (Singer, 2017). Oxfam international has “developmental programs” (Oxfam International, 2017) that help with vulnerable populations. It gives health and education services for everyone and acts against “climate change”

Its main role is freeing people from the injustice of poverty. It has proved this by working with the most vulnerable communities in Kenya and in the slums of Nairobi.

Tesco is the largest supermarket retail chain in the United Kingdom with Sainsbury being their closest rival. It is also the third largest retail chain in the world.

Oxfam is an international aid organization that aims to tackle poverty on a global scale. Oxfam does this by identifying the root cause of poverty in communities and empowering women. Identifying the root cause of poverty in communities allows Oxfam to develop engagement strategies unique to each community, they call this their fish strategy. If somebody is hungry, you can give them a fish. After they have been fed you may teach them to fish so that they will not go hungry again. Finally, you must identify why this person did not know how to fish in the first place. Maybe people in the community are not taught to fish or cannot fish due to pollution. Oxfam identifies the root causes of poverty and develops long-term solutions through treating poverty, educating and empowering people to fight against poverty themselves, and by removing barriers. Empowering women is also an important part of Oxfam's engagement strategy. Gender is one of the most prominent factors in relation to who will end up in poverty. More than 70% of people living on less than $1 a day are women, most of the 80 million children who have no access to education are girls, and women are more likely to be sexually abused and are more likely to be infected with HIV. Oxfam works to empower individuals and communities to create a world free inequality and barriers, allowing women to have full control over their lives.

Oxfam is an international union of 17 organizations operating in about 94 countries around the globe to discover solutions to poverty and what it considers unfairness worldwide. In all Oxfam's actions, the final aim is to allow people to use their rights and control their own lives. Oxfam works straight with communities and tries to persuade the powerful, to make sure that poor people can perk up their lives and livelihoods and have a say in decisions that impact them. Each organization works jointly internationally to reach a larger effect via joint efforts. Oxfam was initially established at 17 Broad Street in Oxford, Oxfordshire, in 1942 as the Oxford Committee for Famine Relief by a group of Quakers, social activists, and Oxford academics;
