In this task I’m going to be talking about why businesses operate internationally under
different sub titles because there are different reasons why they do it.
Growth (value, volume, market coverage);
Tesco have expanded on a massive scale because they have done research on the area they
are moving to before they moved there business over there. They only would make moves on
that scale if they were doing well and they are doing well in fact they are very successful.
Currently there are 7,599 stores including franchises. With more expansion comes more
opportunities and profit. Being a private business would mean that they are out to make profit
so this would be a reason why they would want to expand to different areas. In addition some
people would be trying to survive in their market however when it comes to Tesco they
would be competing to maintain their place in the market share or go to the top. Tesco shares
have slumped by more than 15pc after Britain's biggest retailer issued its fourth profit
warning in a matter of months. The supermarket group said that profits for the year to the end
of February will now be less than £1.4bn, far below the £2bn expected by analysts and the
£3.3bn reported last year.
Diversification
Tesco has diversified themselves into selling different appliances. Tesco has diversified from
traditional food retail, selling a wide range of products including clothing, electrical goods,
homewares, fuel and much more. Non-food products tend to have much bigger profit margins
than traditional groceries. Tesco has been the leader for change in the UK food and grocery
market, introducing such initiatives as 24 hour shopping, self-checkout, and online retailing.
By being diverse within the market that allows them to make more money because they are
going into different departments.
Emerging markets
An emerging market is a country that has some characteristics of a developed market, but
does not meet standards to be a developed market. This includes countries that may be
developed markets in the future or were in the past. Brazil, Russia, India and China are places
that could be in the group of emerging markets. Analysts argue Tesco's expansion in
emerging markets such as China, Thailand and India has led them to neglect their UK
business. . As a business Tesco operate in some of these kind of economies because they can
see that the economy within that country is developing, developed or has the potential to
grow on a massive scale. Currently they operate in 12 different countries which are:
Tesco UK
Tesco in India
Tesco Malaysia
Tesco Lotus
Tesco Czech Republic
Tesco Hungary
Tesco Ireland
