Executive Summary:
This is report is aimed to find out the effects of competition as well as globalisation in the case of Tesco Plc. and the ethical as well as environmental challenges their face as a global business. With that intention I will be addressing the advantages and disadvantages of a global business and how its effects the people in developing countries in comparison to the people in developed countries.

Methodology:
I have used, and implemented various methods to create and successfully complete this report on globalisation. I have conducted partly primary research by going to a number of stores and asking members of staff but mostly I used secondary research as a base to establish global challenges Tesco Plc. faces globally and within the UK. I have visited www.tesco.com the Tesco website to explore the research information as well as other relating websites and also read ETI requirements Tesco is obliged to follow as a global player.

Introduction:
The aim of this case study is to find out how external influences effect Tesco Plc. as well competition and their current performance globally as well as nationally.
I will be covering the effects on Tesco Plc. being a global player as well ethical issues and Tesco’s responsibility towards the society and the environment respectively.

    Due to the nature of the TESCO organisation with particular reference to how it has branded and marketed itself, and the current economic climate, the assessment of external factors by a PESTLE analysis has been crucial in TESCO’s success. This is because TESCO has taken into account the implications for consumers, employees, stakeholders, associated organisations and the company’s mission statement. Each external factor would have been and continues to be examined and categorised in terms of whether its implication is negative or positive, large or minor significance, intermittent or continuous impact and so on.…

    1. Introduction to the company and its role within the wider international market; including competitors and current market conditions that may impact on its financial performance. Tesco plc is a British multinational grocery and these days the third- largest retailer worldwide in terms of revenues, operating in 14 countries across Europe, Asia and Nord America.The retailer was founded in 1919 and operated exclusively within the UK until the early 1990s when it started diversifying geographically. Tesco in its early years only offered foods and drinks in its stores but then successfully diversified its product range to electronics, books, household appliances, clothes, financial services and telecoms to mention only a few as examples. Tesco employs more than 500,000 people globally in more than 6,500 stores, whereof more than 290,000 people are working in more than 3,000 stores in the UK where Tesco has a market share of around 30 %. Globally Tesco’s main competitors are the US-retailer Wal-Mart and the French retailer Carrefour, in the UK its main competitor became recently Sainsbury’s plc - which is compared regarding its performance to Tesco in the second part of this paper – as well as Asda Stores Ltd. and William Morrisons Supermarkets plc. Recently, Tesco had to struggle with financial problems, especially in the UK where its profits fell for the first time in 20 years (cf. Graham Ruddick, The Telegraph, 30 September 2012) and in the United States where its subsidiary Fresh & Easy only during the first half in 2012 made losses amounting to £ 74,000,000. Generally the retail market is especially due to the high competition quite saturated and the retailers have to struggle with the “challenging economic backdrop” (Justin King, chief executive Sainsbury’s) as well as the external environment which “continues to present challenges all over the world” (Philip Clarke, chief executive Tesco). In the UK Tesco had…
