The existence of strong competitors with authorize brand provides a threat of severe price war and for product discrimination there is a powerful wants. The policies of government to control monopoly and customer power reduction to this sector can limit the entry through requirement of license and also on raw materials limit on approach. To implement policies of pricing correctly and politically and offer been provide to customer by Tesco such as fuel reduction on purchases depend on the groceries they purchase from the store.

10

included by the structure of the typical organization, however the chosen structure of the organization will based on the company, industry as well as on host country in which industry was commence. According to in this global organization the structure of the organization is most important element of success. However to navigate in this areas it is most severe business strategy growth. Strategic unit of business in been chosen by the tesco to accompanied all the areas of business to maximize the competitiveness degree within the areas on individual market.

It affect directly to employees by moving towards the method of working where there is less hierarchy and more flexibility in content of job, various skills and in time and location and higher use of contract staff as a fixed and part-time term. Involvement and growth of employee are directly distress to improve the implementation of business and towards the goal of strategy like flexibility, customer satisfaction and innovation they are linked (Ashwathappa, 2005) rather from the union trade the force is directly form management as been indicating by the strategic link.
