Tesco is an international company in UK which provide retails goods to their customers. Tesco wants to expand its market in the whole world for this purpose they make strategies for their business. For this purpose they do SWOT analysis to find out their strength, weakness, opportunities and threats. The SWOT analysis is described as below:

Strength: Tesco is very popular in the UK economy and they also provide satisfaction to their customers properly. They also use better marketing strategies for their products and services. They are also very flexible and adopt the changes quickly. They provide goods to their customers at reasonable prices and of best quality (Rothaermel 2015).

They use new processes and technologies to produce their products and services that also helps to earn them more profits in the market and they can also take advantage from their competitors. They have also brand loyalty and they also sell their products online to their customers. They also improve their technology according to the needs. They are very familiar from the market of UK.

Weakness: They also has weakness so they need to overcome from these weaknesses. Their distribution channel of their products and services is not much effective. So they need to improve their distribution channel to compete their competitors. Also some of the goods are very expensive and cannot sold out too much so they can remove those products from the market. They also struggle in the non-food sector but they are specialists in other sectors such as food sectors, electrical products etc.

Tesco is a company of public sector so that they need to spend much money in the expansion of UK market(Peng 2013). They can overcome from their weakness by take opportunities over them. They are very much depend on the small retailers to fulfil their resources. They do not have proper human resource for their business.

Opportunities: Tesco also has many opportunities in the market that they can take from the market. They can also take investment from the other countries that will help in their development. They also provide home delivery to their customers so that it will help them to achieve the customers loyalty.

Tesco also sell their products online that is food and non-food products. They continuously increase their sales so that it will help them to achieve the more profits. They also have opportunity to enter in various market so that it will help them in development and growth.

Threat: They have threat from their competitors who produce same type of products and also provide goods and services to the people of the country. If they rise in their price of their products then it may lead the lower profits of the company. Every people of the country always attracts towards the new products which are of best quality. So if Tesco want to overcome fro their threats then they need to make strong position in the market.

They also need to provide products and services of best quality to their customers at a reasonable prices. Local consumers are very well familiar from the products and services of the Tesco company. If Tesco take their threats as an adventure then it will help to overcome. The supply power of their product is very low so that they cannot fulfil the demand of their customers timely so competitors can take advantage of this (Cornelissen 2014).

It is essential for a business organization is that to use various aspects in order to achieve organizational goals and objectives in an effective manner. For this the firm is required to use a strategic choice which h can help to implement their activities to deliver their vision.

These both are retail companies in the UK market (Torres,2012). These want to develop their business and increase market share of the company so according to this situation merger and acquisition is the best solution to both company.
