Literature Review
Concept of digital technology
Digital technology has been successful enough in bringing various advancements as it
can actually help in increasing the overall popularity as well as productivity rate. Also, its
1

involvement has become necessary because it is very important to cope with the current trends as
if Tesco PLC will still rely on the manual processing, it can effect quite negative on the overall
processing. So, it is better to make involvement of the digital technology as it can actually help
in increasing the rate of the processing of the operations and functions. Thus, it can help in
achieving the targets and goals faster. Along with this, it also helps in making better and efficient
communication. So, it can be considered that there are various benefits of using the digital
technology as on an overall basis, the use of digital technology helps in improving the lifestyle of
people as well. It helps in saving much amount of time. The use of digital technology helps in an
improvised set of learning. Nowadays, technology has become important as it has various
positive impacts on the business operations of Tesco PLC. Also, it is not associated with the size
of the company because no matter the organisation is small or big, digital technology has been
spread in a very wide network (Oldham and Da Silva, 2015). So, it has tangible as well as
intangible advantages that can help any firm to make a huge amount of money and satisfy the
customers.
The actual forte behind making money is that digital technology which helps in
minimizing the speed of the processes, thus, saving much amount of time as well. So, in that
saved amount of time, the employees of the Tesco PLC can ensure doing some other work.
Therefore, it can be evaluated that it helps the system to develop in a way that it throws various
positive impacts that leads the company to satisfy the customers and helps them in gaining a
higher rate of productivity as well. It can also be said that it helps all the processing to be done in
an effective manner. Digital technology involves various factors such as new communication
technologies, multi-functional devices, etc. So, it helps in multi functioning of tasks. So, it can
actually save a huge amount of time and that the retail firm can utilize in a much better and
efficient way. There are various ways through which Tesco PLC can make use of the digital
technology such as including cloud services, taking feedbacks of social media, etc.
Although every such feature can prove very effective for the retail firm. Taking
feedbacks from the customers through the means of social media can actually prove to be
effective as by such means, the customers also consider the fact that they are important for the
firm and this further helps in maintaining their interest in the specific firm. So, either on website
or one mails, the Tesco PLC can ensure taking feedbacks from the customers so that they can
also get aware what people think about them. It is helpful in other factors as well because the
2

customers use the services and products of Tesco PLC and so, they must be having some good as
well as bad points for the same. By the means of feedbacks, the retail firm can get an idea about
the negative factors which means what people are not liking about the retail firm . Then, the
retail firm can work on that and make the replacements and modifications where necessary.
According to the view of Oldham and Da Silva, (2015), digital technology considered
development of the business with mathematical concepts and understand creative results as well.
In this regard, innovations and creativity develop to make effectiveness in business. In addition
to this, it also helps to make high growth in the enterprise to look towards the information that
useful to implement information for attain desired results. Digital technology also based on the
two aspects that assists to show creative results with information and data transmission. It is the
process in which organisation communicate, learn and work. On the other hand, Taylor, Bogdan
and DeVault, (2015) stated that telecommunication also relied on the methods that assists to
transmit the messages. It helps to increase development of network with replace advance. In
particular consideration, it also makes analogue transmission, digitalised signals which make
systematic work performance at workplace.
In order to look upon the Westerman, Bonnet and McAfee, (2014) views it can be stated
that telecommunication activities based on the digital methods through message could be
transmit easily. With the help of the increasing fibre optics and development of the digital
technology, it has been seen that it help to make advance results. From past several years, its uses
increases which broadcast premièred in UK. Therefore, communication activities transmitted
compressed digital signals to receives several programs. Beside this, Gilbert, McGuire and
Villeneuve, (2015) argued that digital printing develop with electro-photographic aspects
through Tesco PLC able to increase their profits and revenue with advance activities'
implementation. Furthermore, it also assists to design computer ranging which work with
internet activities. There are several tasks has been performed in it which assists to implement
different program in the business.
According to Oldham and Da Silva, (2015), Innovation expect essential part in the
neighbourliness and tourism wanders. The two customers and associations can benefit by moves
in correspondence, reservations and guest organizations structures. Innovation grants constant
correspondence and streamlines the guest experience, from reservation to checkout. There are
distinctive courses through which the organization of the affiliations can executes the
3

Technology in their ordinary business exercises. Innovation remarkably impacts on the Retail
firm and what's more unique sections related to the tourism. These parts join transportation,
correspondence visits among various divisions. The use of developments has been redesigned
during the time surprisingly to give specific organizations everywhere throughout the globe. In
the current past when Technology was occasionally used as a piece of the tourism region, most
organizations were of extraordinarily low quality and likewise conflicting.
As per Westerman, Bonnet and McAfee, (2014), Web innovation enables individuals in
simple voyaging, to individuals can without much of a stretch access different administrations or
items offered by movement and tourism associations, for example, The Thomas cook. The web
innovation acquired numerous imaginative techniques or components the tourism business, for
example, online appointments, individuals these days utilize web innovation to get to different
administrations and items offered by the tourism association. Booking tickets online is a standout
amongst the most prevalent movement in the tourism business in the present world. This has
built up an intense change in the friendliness part, simple booking pull in clients to utilize the
administrations and make the most of their voyaging.
Gilbert, McGuire and Villeneuve, (2015) has contended that computerized technology or
the web has assumed a noteworthy part in the advancement and development of cordiality
industry. Simple access to administrations, simple connection, and powerful introduction of
tourism bundles, rebates, advancements and deceivability had an extraordinary impact of the
acquiring choices of the clients. Notwithstanding this tourism administrators can without much
of a stretch distinguish current needs and requests of their clients with the utilization of online
networking stages, clients can give their inputs, their requests identified with tourism benefits
specifically with the tourism administrators. Taylor, Bogdan and DeVault, (2015) has stated that
the web or computerized stage impact choices of clients by offering compelling, appealing and
simple administrations or offices identified with friendliness industry. Individuals gets pulled in
to different administrations offered by Retail firm , for example, alluring bundles, plans,
recordings, pictures are exhibited to the clients which assumes a noteworthy part in affecting
their choices. Sites and online gateways utilizes different showcasing methods to pull in clients.
Relationship between digital technology and business objectives
If Tesco PLC makes the involvement of the digital technology, it can actually help in
increasing the speed as well as rate of the processes and operations. Thus, it can help the retail
4

firm in an increased rate of productivity and popularity. There are some processes that are being
done manually in the retail firm . So, the retail firm can involve digital technology so that all the
manual processing can get replaced by the digitalised one (Hutchison and Woodward, 2014).
Also, it will help in saving a huge amount of time as well. Recording the attendance of the
employees, managing their personal records and recording the information about the customers
who visit the retail firm for stay purpose; these are various factors that are being done manually
and if a database system will be implemented in a retail firm , it can actually save all these details
in an efficient way. Also, after each single entry, the system can get updated. Therefore, it can be
considered that on an overall basis, if Tesco PLC makes involvement of the digital technology in
their retail firm , it can help them as it will save a huge amount of time. Thus, the retail firm can
keep their focus on involving other essential ways that they can involve in order to cope with the
other competitors in the market place.
A very common example of this can be classified as implementation of Wi-Fi as when
customers will stay in the retail firm , it is obvious that having a wireless internet connection can
act as an attractive factor. So, Tesco PLC can ensure implementing wireless internet connection
as it can act as a very attractive feature. Although the retail firm can have some policies as well
such as providing a user name and password only if the customer is about to check in the retail
firm . Also, they can also involve digital conference facilities because this can also attract
various customers. Many times, it happens that some clients have to visit some specific city
where they have to meet for business meetings. So, if there will be a facility of digital
conferencing room in which the clients can be very efficiently able to represent and demonstrate
their ideas to the other parties etc. Therefore, factors like this can actually act as an attractive
feature for attracting customers, thus, Tesco PLC can gain a major rate of satisfied customers.
Therefore, it will further help in maximizing the overall rate of popularity as well as
productivity.
Also, there are some times, when the person at the reception has to communicate with
any staff member for any purpose such as for cleaning etc., using mobile phones can help in the
same but making use of the near field communication systems, it can actually help in a faster and
more reliable process of communication. It is also classified as the NFC technology. It can
consider to be more reliable than mobile phones because along with speaking, it also allows a
faster sharing of data between two devices. Although the process is meant for small ranges, but
5

this can considered to be feasible enough for Tesco PLC as it can easily cover all the areas of the
retail firm.

show that helps to achieve wanted outcomes at working environment. These systems help
to discover valuable outcomes at work environment
21

 Qualitative model: It is likewise valuable technique that could be utilized by analyst to
make powerful working in the business. It includes esteem and subjective data in the
business condition.
All the research methodologies which are been used within their particular research
project should be evaluated on the bases of how effective they all are in terms of their working
and performance as well. But if it is found that there is any lack of evaluating the results of
whole research which is based on topic of to analyse the impact of digital technology within
Tesco PLC. At the time when we are not finding any specified results then there is huge
requirement to identify the area in which we could be making specified changes in the way in
which we are conducting our whole research. Firstly it was seen that we could have taken more
than 20 employees in this research who thus could be able to included some more important and
relevant information within this context. It was studied that the use of only 20 employees would
not be helping us to find out the actual effect which digital technology have on our operation of
organisation. Furthermore, we have also taken the qualitative form of data analysing factor
which is also one of the limitation in taking out the relationship between two or more factors it is
easy to take the quantitative form of data analysed so that we could be easily taking out relevant
results.
At the end I have learnt that digital technology is the basic essential need for today's
generation that too in all the field and sectors of economy. This would be helping firms and
organisations to do their work in more effective way which would be helpful for our economic
growth. By computerized innovation I have likewise learnt especially as this is helping me to
develop and make all the working simple. Likewise, learnt what are the points of interest and
inconveniences of advanced innovation like expanding of fakes from which I should be
extremely watchful. As the economies are developing in an exceptionally creating stage and
advancing and changes are occurring.
This likewise enable me in staying up with the latest with the world and I to can find out
about the innovation in my encompassing and furthermore help me in staying in contact with the
external world with the assistance of numerous informal communication destinations like
Facebook, Twitter. By this I have learnt that in the event that we convey it the best possible
research by utilizing all the significant and validated sources which are to my best information.
The exploration which is finished by me help me to improve the situation in my work and after
22

that utilizing the information in my expert vocation. So in order to look up into this respect it is
important that we are having the complete knowledge about all factors which would be affected
by digital technology. To meet the target of the undertaking it is important to utilize the right
piece of task administration process. The nature of research and the sources from where data has
been accumulated must be right and verified. The venture reasonable process will be of
incredible significance to in doing the examination on the specified point. It will be simple for
me to build up the task design and research will help me in my expert advancement as well.
It was also include that we all need to be aware of that fact that technology could be
affecting us in negative way as well which is not good as per any organisation. So they must be
keeping track of all the wrong activities which are going on into the firm especially that which is
related to operational work of company.
Conclusion and recommendation
