Business Studies Report on Tesco
Tesco.

TESCO Plc (public limited company) is a British multinational grocery and general merchandise retailer. It is the third largest retailer in the world measured by its profit, and its second measured by its revenue. TESCO Plc is owned by shareholders who fund the company. The general public can buy shares in the company and then become shareholders; this method allows TESCO to gain funds.

Tesco was doing great, their market share skyrocketed and they were dominaKng other leading supermarkets, but it wasn’t all good for Tesco, in 2013 they experienced a big drop in profits and had to basically exit the US market. Also, their plans of expansion overseas was a flop, they placed too much money, thinking that it will be a success, but they ended up having to retrench most of their chains and other stores. Based on the case their problems are mainly caused by change in consumer habits, and because of that change, Tesco lost a lot of their money
