Luton International College: Tesco Financial Analysis Presentation

This presentation provides an overview of Tesco's internal business information, focusing on its financial performance, particularly during the challenging financial year of 2014-2015. It highlights the continuous fall in share prices following Sir Terry Leahy's departure as CEO in 2010, with a significant drop towards the end of the 2011-2012 tax year and a 1% fall in profits in April 2012, marking the first decline in 20 years. The presentation also notes a recovery in share prices towards the end of the 2012-2013 tax year, followed by a low point in the middle of the 2014-2015 tax year. The presenter aims to explain this complex information clearly to an audience of business journalists, providing them with a comprehensive understanding of Tesco's financial situation.

Task 2
Internal Business Information

Introduction
To plan my presentation, I will need to list my
objectives, audience, and remit. I will then need to
figure out my main points and my supporting
information. By working out these points I will be
able to successfully talk about the internal business
information of Thorpe

Objectives
My objectives are to ensure that I explain the
complex internal business information at a level that
my audience will understand. My audience is a group
of business journalists. They likely know a bit about
internal business information in general but not of
Tesco and not to the standard of business analysts
and they dont need the detail that the business
directors need.
