Level of culture
The level of culture in an organisation specifically denotes the intensity of culture present
in the organisation. This level is basically obtained by a business entity by the presence of
several types of employees who belong to different sections of the society. It is essential for the
top level management to take necessary actions related to management of culture in a short
period of time (Al-Swidi, 2021). At Tesco being a multinational company the level of culture
present is there in a severe intensity so management has to take necessary actions to develop
different cultural practices.
Cultural web
This technique is widely adopted by many different multinational organisations like
Tesco to map culture which is present in the organisation. It is helpful in achieve different goals
and objectives of the organisation and this model in the field of management came into force in
1992.

Handy's model of culture
In the field related to organisational culture this model came into existence in 1932 and it
helps in determination of various types of culture in the organisation. The main stages of this
model with respect to Tesco are explained below:
 Power culture- This is considered as dominating type of culture in an organisation as the
power to take decisions in the organisation is present in the hands of some people. In this
type of culture there is a superiority role played by management in order to lead the
organisational development.
 Task culture- Task culture is related to the practice of developing task and activities
related to functioning of an organisation (Balwant, 2018). The task culture focus on
various roles and responsibilities of employees and develop a precise approach which is
beneficial for growth of the business.
 Person culture- This type of culture is majorly practised at Tesco and is related to a
specific personality. This type of culture is mainly related to development of a particular
employee which is major negative point for whole business entity.
 Role culture- This is considered as major form of culture where an employee is allocated
with different roles and responsibilities in a company depending on the eligibility of
respective employee.
Organisational power
In the functioning of a business at the marketplace the organisational power is considered
as major capability and strength of an organisation to deal with several circumstances. A
company must develop strength in a short period of time to face different consequences of
market which are created by competitors.

happening in the organisation. It is considered as major force behind the development of a
business and it is also considered as negative side of a business which leads to conflict between
different team members.
