Executive Summary
In this study, we have explained many things and we have taken TESCO Company to explain all
the relevant topics in our study. Every firm aspires to have a market advantage in the modern
business environment, which necessitates strategic adjustments to its structure and way of
thinking. It can be difficult for businesses to think through the best way to alter management.
One of only a few major businesses, Tesco, constantly modifies the institutional framework of its
business to implement fresh and creative business strategies in the competitive market. This
project will aid in the analysis of planned change and centres on the difficulty of carrying out the
transformation process inside organisations. The task also entails comprehending the notion that
changing is a preferable course of action in the minds of customers and workers.
