Business Organisations Task 1: TESCO Plc (public limited company) is a British multinational grocery and general merchandise retailer. It is the third largest retailer in the world measured by its profit, and its second measured by its revenue. TESCO Plc is owned by shareholders who fund the company. The general public can buy shares in the company and then become shareholders; this method allows TESCO to gain funds. The reason I would choose to locate TESCO in the new business park is because TESCO is the grocery market leader in the UK, it has a market share of 28.4%. TESCO have competitive prices and many people shop at TESCO, this means it will grow the local economy. TESCO rely on their employees to provide a service to their customers. TESCO have 500,000 (2015) and I believe that having a TESCO in this business park will create more jobs. TESCO’s core purpose is “to be the champion for customers, helping them to enjoy a better quality of life and an easier way of living”. I would also locate a National Health Service (NHS) Hospital at this business park. The NHS is primarily funded through taxation with a much smaller funding provided through. They provide a comprehensive range of health services; the vast majority are free for people legally resident in the UK. The NHS is in the public sector and is a not for profit organisation. It was founded in 1948. The aim of this business is to provide a service to the community. The NHS have 1.4 Million employees and I
There are five different scales: local, regional, national, international and global. The local scale is when a business is found in the local area, for example Annie’s Salon. Regional scale is when a business is found in a specific region such as England. National scale is when the business is found in a national scale, e.g. in the UK (Tesco). International scale in when that specific brand is found in more than a country within a specific continent, for example Pupa which is found just in Italy and France. Global scale is similar to the international scale; however, the main difference is that in the global scale, the business is found in more than one continent, i.e. McDonalds. Sainsbury is in a local, regional and national scale as it can be found in the local area, it is in England, but because it is found also in other regions, it is national. However, it cannot be international as Sainsbury’s is located just in UK.
The scale of Business that Tesco would be is international as they are in a small amount of other countries other than Great Britain. On the other hand Dartford Borough Council is local because it only supply’s/helps one area in which it is found in.
There are a few components for headway of worldwide exchange all around. This incorporate creative generation methods, new transnational enterprises and proficient transportation framework. By ideals of universal exchange system and offices the organization like TESCO can work globally and do its business. This could be accomplished with no or little obstructions.

Marks and Spencer Group (M&S) is the premier retailer in clothing, foods and home ware within the United Kingdom. The company’s commitment to quality, value, service, innovation and trust is a key contributor to their success as a high street retailer in the UK. Their current core UK operations centre around three divisions, food, general merchandise (including clothing and home ware), and the financial services industry. Therefore Tesco plc is the prime UK retailer to analyse and compare growth, financial performance and the financial status of M&S Plc in line with other competitors within the same industry.

I have chosen to use two types of analytical models to review the company; I will be looking at the organisational structure of Tesco, as well as analysing their business and competitive strategy.
