Tesco PLC is a UK-based global supermarket chain and it has 7817 shops and 517,802 employees around the world. Founded in 1919 by Jack Cohen, Tesco has emerged to become the biggest retailer in the UK and more than 80 million shopping trips are made to Tesco stores each week (Annual Report, 2015). Tesco’s mission statement is “to be the champion for customers – to help everyone who shops with us enjoy a better quality of life and an easier way of living”.
Tesco business strategy can be described as cost leadership with a focus on availability, range and customer service. During the financial year of 2015, the group sales amounted to GBP 69.7 billion with the group trading profit of GBP 1.4 billion, however, the company made a net loss of GBP 6.4 billion during the same period (Annual Report, 2015). Along with market saturation, such a poor financial performance has been caused by a series of scandals that include an overstatement of commercial income by GBP 208 million (Rigby, 2015) and the cases of supplier mistreatment. It has been revealed that the supermarket chain demanded a payment of GBP 1 million from one of its suppliers, L’Oreal (Ahmed, 2015) and the company has been found to delay payment to suppliers in order to improve its operational profit margins in 2014 (Simpson, 2016).
These scandals caused a severe damage to Tesco’s brand image and replacement of the leadership at the top level. The new leadership headed by a new Chairman of the Board John Allan and new CEO Dave Lewis pledged to restore the trust towards the brand via focusing on the core values that had made Tesco popular in the first place.
