In addition to the same, hierarchical structure also limits the scopeof innovation and creativity because of less involvement of employees in the decision-makingprocess (Eden and Ackermann, 2013).

Tesco will have to emphasize more on strategic planning so that short –term and long-term plans can be developed to improve existing management.
