Tesco and First Cut Barbera's: Business Analysis
-------------------------------------------------
Activity 1: investigate what a business is and what businesses do.
Throughout this coursework, the two businesses I will be researching and investigating will be Tesco and First Cut Barber’s. I have confirmed a decision to choose these businesses because I believe that I have the ability to be able to get a range of information about the business and the finances.

* The reason for my choice of business and how planned and carried out my research
The nationwide business I chose is Tesco; I have chosen Tesco as it is a massive and successful business that has been around since 1919. Tesco is also a favourite grocery store to many and can be located in the area. Tesco is also a good comparison to local businesses as you can show how a business should be run. Tesco does not stop itself by selling day to day groceries, it also retail in selling varied goods for example home electrical supplies, car insurance and clothing , this is why it can be compared to other retailers which market the same. Tesco has huge competitors like ASDA and Morrison’s but still comes up on top of them all. As I am researching, I know that I can gain a lot of knowledge about this business and collect enough research for this coursework however there are many Tesco stores locally so it will be convenient and accessible for me to attend to do store to collect any research. When I was deciding which nationwide business to choose I looked at huge businesses (E.g. ASDA, Sainsbury, Comet, Pc World and Tesco)

The local business I have chosen is First Cut Barber’s , It is very close to where is live I And I have been there a few times , First Cut Barbers is an average barber shop on a main road, I think it is a well-known business in the area I live in , It is located in Eastham, The business has been going for around 7 years now, They Are located on Barking road Also it is easily accessible

    There are many reasons why I chosen M&s as my national business. One of the reasons why I chose M&S is because M&S sponsored an entrepreneur scheme called NTYE this allowed me to gain more insight into M&S and its infrastructure. This also allowed me to become more familiar with the business, as I felt that M&S being a PLC, gaining any required information wouldn’t be of difficulty as M&S are obliged to publish all their financial records for shareholders. Another reason I have chosen M&S as the national business to assess is because I personally shop at M&S frequently and so are aware of the range of products M&S offer to the public I have also visited the store and therefore have had a first-hand experience of M&S .After inspecting a range of other national business such as Debenhams and New Look I felt that M&S was the overall right business to choose as M&S were very willing to give me information on their business and answer any follow-up question I have. The way in which I will conduct my research is through gathering information from a range of sources, such as Tom Moby the M&S company spokesperson, the M&S sales and corporate websites, also the questionnaire I created to help gather the information I needed for this activity and various news articles found online which will validate my assessment.…
