mainly over domestic market that has helped the organization to maintain a sustainable growth.
Tesco also emphasis on the customers as well as the employees who are working for the
organization for achieve its objectives. Tesco is considered as one of the internationally reputed
supermarkets of United Kingdom providing satisfactory product and services along with good
quality (Tesco Plc., 2018). Tesco tries to deliver their best services to the customers thus its

the staff members so that their highest potential can be reached. Organizational culture is
very friendly and encouraging that has helped it to attain this ambition of reaching and
