As per analyzing Sainbury's last 5 years' performance, it is evaluated that its business
operations are quite effective. In this regard, by recognizing all collaborative performance,
employees' contribute their job role effectively through working in group. However, customers
are satisfied with goods and services produced by organization and also high level of demand for
groceries and food items is created. Including this, relationship with debtors and creditors is also
good that affects on financial position of entity (Mari, 2014). However, as per critical evaluation,
it is determined that there is high turn over ratio of employees that is interest towards job
performance is going down. It affects company's effectiveness and efficiencies. Therefore, it is
required for organization to prepare strategies as well implementing CSR activities for better
quality services and carrying on entity efficiently.

of the business firm and they play an important role in elevating growth of the business firm.
This is because varied operations of the business firm are performed with the help of these
stakeholders. Without their cooperation it is not possible to run organization smoothly. Hence, it
