Introduction:

In this task I be looking at three different methods of appropriate to the user's
needs of Tesco. The three methods I be doing is a report of the Tesco's business
e.g. finance, chart of showing the financial report and a web page. I also be
producing a corporation communications e.g. poster. Then I also be evaluating
the external corporate communication of an existing product or service. In the
last i be evaluating the effectiveness of business information and its
communication as key contributors to the success of an organisation, using
examples to illustrate your point.
