    Sony introduced the first Betamax combination TV and Betamax system in 1975 and the first stand-alone video cassette recorder (VCR) in 1976 as the model SL-7200 (CED, 2006). The stand-alone unit initially sold successfully in the U.S. for $1,295.00. An optional external clock to set recording times came at the request of Sony's then CEO, Akio Morita (CED, 2006). Previous models included an internal clock, but Morita believed that by having an external clock, should it malfunction, repairs could be made without having to bring the whole VCR to the repair shop. The external clock was mistake number one of many made by Sony; VHS (Video Home System) VCR's made by JVC hit the market in 1977 and offered an internal clock and much cleaner look, giving VHS a much needed marketing advantage.

    Tesco is the largest grocery retailer in the United Kingdom, with a 25 percent share of the local market. In its home market, the company’s strengths are reputed to come from strong competencies in marketing and store site selection, logistics and inventory management, and its own label product offerings. By the early 1990s, these competencies had already given the company a leading position in the United Kingdom.
