Effective corporate governance requires Board of Directors to have substantial analysis of company's policies and practices. Management should have awareness about daily operations of organisation and ways in which its objectives are being achieved. ASDA is mainly owned and controlled by Walmart (McCahery, Sautner and Starks, 2016). However, various issues have been faced by organisation in market which has influenced in business operations and recognition among customers.

ASDA is named as the worst supermarket in treatment of suppliers. Shareholders have placed ASDA below Morrisons as it named as worst retailer at complying with its code of conduct. It has been named as the worst retailer of UK's major supermarkets in its treatment of suppliers.

However, major oversight issues have been faced by ASDA in its corporate governance because management does not have information about its operations. With effective business management, this organisation must understand the requirements of customers. About 12% of suppliers have stated that, ASDA rarely never complied with the Grocery Supply code of practice. (Yu and et.al, 2016).

Issues have been raised by various suppliers that company is making incorrect deduction from invoices without notice, requesting lumps sums to make up profit margins and conducting abusive forensic audits of suppliers.

LITERATURE REVIEW

Concept of corporate strategy and governance

According to Klettner, Clarke and Boersma (2014), Corporate governance is mainly regarded as a key driver for organisation performance. It is a concept that emerged from the growth of business enterprises in the 20^th century. After the crash of stock market in the year 1929, researcher began to argue for corporate governance mechanism which would allow shareholders to keep in stock.

In latter half 20^th Century this continued, corporate governance structures were being introduced to control managers and ensuring that their actions are in line with the interests of stakeholders.

In strategic management, it refers to the set of internal rules and policies that clearly determine how company can be directed. However, corporate strategy is concerned with the ways through which a firm can create its values across different business. Governance essentially involves balancing of interests of an organisation's many stakeholders, such as shareholders, employees, suppliers and management along with government as well as community. These stakeholders have their important roles in developing effective corporate strategies for organisation so that it will be able to create its values in marketplace.

As per the view of Tricker and Tricker (2015), Corporate strategy is aligned with the ways through which companies like retail sector organisations create their values across their competitors in market. For creating a competitive advantage, firms in retail sector needs to make investments in a valuable set of resources, should craft business portfolio and also design structure of organisation, systems and corporate functions in order to share activities or transfer skills across business.

Effective corporate strategy tends to create positive influence on growth of organisation because it provides them competencies to retain their customers, increase sales and sustain its market share. However, presently continuous decline in growth of retail sector clearly points out ineffectiveness of their corporate strategy and governance.

Importance of good corporate strategy and governance in retail sector

According to Shamir (2017), for achievement of growth and sustainability in market, it is essential for every retail sector organisation to create effective corporate strategies. Moreover, appropriate strategies embrace capabilities of organisation in creating values of competitors.

Below given points clearly determine importance of good corporate strategy and governance.

• Managing and controlling operations: Pechlaner, Volgger and Herntrei (2012) describes that creates good strategies and maintaining appropriate governance plays an important role in controlling business operations. With effective strategy, managers will be delegate and monitor the task performed by employees at workplace. Good corporate governance tends to promote effective leadership, which enables employees to perform their task with appropriate guidelines and achieve support in resolution of issues.
• Innovative ideas: According to Rothaermel (2015), Organisation's having appropriate control or governance provides importance to their employees and focuses on developing their potential so that they will provide innovative ideas for improvement of existing products and services. Innovative ideas also influence stakeholders in retail sector to provide their support in growth of company.
• Issues resolutions: As per the view of Morden (2016), development of effective corporate strategy is important for resolving issues like decline in profitability, sales, demands of product, employees participation etc. Issues related to maintaining competitive advantage in market also enables employers to sustain its growth and recognition in market. On contrary to this Du Plessis, Hargovan and Harris (2018), Good governance is also important for resolution of issues like relationship with suppliers, shareholders and performance of organisation in market. It alters the focus of management to protect benefits of its stakeholders along with maximizing profitability.
• Implementation of business plan: Goal oriented corporate strategy helps the organisation in implementation of business plan effectively and achievement of goals. This view has persisted in retail sector where strategies are conceived as plans to accomplish specific goals. By improving corporate strategy, management will be able to review its business plan timely and analyse its progress. On contrary Fernando, (2012), Good governance and leadership also have extensive importance in implementation of business plan and also monitor its progress.

Corporate governance issues faced by organisation in retail sector.

There are various important issues in corporate governance that play a great role. These problems are interrelated and dependent on each other to be resolved. Amran, Lee and Devi (2014) stated that each issue is connected with the corporate governance and have different priorities and responsibilities in each retail business enterprise. Five main issues of corporate governance are analysed such as conflict of interest, oversight issues, Accountability issues, transparency issues and ethical Violations.

Brammer, Jackson and Matten (2012) stated that, these issues occur within the framework of corporate governance when the managers and other authoritative officers or other controlling members of corporation has the financial interest which directly conflicts within the objectives of organisation. Bad corporate governance tends to create conflicts between teams and employees in interest in business enterprise Phillips & Muir (2016). For example: A board members of solar organisation who own a important amount of stock in an oil company has conflicts of interest as, While the whom they serve on represents the creation of clean energy, they also have financial stake in the success of oil industry, they must have a financial stake within the success of the oil industry.

Grant (2016) stated that, effective and appropriate corporate governance in organisation requires the board of directors to have an appropriate oversight or analysis of organisation's policies, practices and procedures. It is considered as broad term that encompasses the executive staff reporting to the management and the awareness of management of daily operations of company and the way in which objectives have been achieved. Trong Tuan (2012) stated that management needs to protect interest of stakeholders such as Suppliers, shareholders, employees, acting as a check and balance against the executive staff. Without the oversight, Corporate staff organisation might start violating the state or federal law, facing issues, substantial fines from regulatory agencies and suffering the reputation al issues with the public. For example: ASDA is also facing some oversights due to its ineffective corporate governance after being a part of Walmart. It is considered as Worst supermarket chain in treatment of its suppliers. According to Schaltegger, Lüdeke-Freund and Hansen (2012), 12% of suppliers have stated that Walmart owned supply chain rarely never complied with the Grocery Supply code of practice. ASDA is making incorrect deduction from their invoices without notice, requesting lumps sums to make up profit margins and conducting abusive forensic audits of suppliers.

Cheney and et.al (2014) specified that, It is considered as necessary for appropriate and effective corporate governance in every firm. From top management to operational level workers, every level and department of organisation should report and tends to be accountable to another as a framework of checking and balancing. In contrast to this Doppelt (2017), stated that actions of every employee in organisation in accountable to the shareholders and public. Without accountability, they can endanger the success of overall business enterprise or influence stakeholders to lose the desire to continue their financial investment.

In order to be transparent, it is essential for company to report gains and losses accurately and provides these reports to stakeholder or investors of organisation. Moreover, over inflation of profits and minimizing the losses will mainly provide negative influence on relationship of organisation with their stockholders when they recognise that they were enticed to under false pretences. However, lack of transparency in organisation can also expose the organisation to get punishment or fines from regulatory bodies in UK.

According to this Bendell (2017), members of the executive board needs to have ethical duty in order to make decisions and those who invest in their company under false presentness. Moreover, every business enterprise must have an ethical duty to safeguard social welfare of others which are involved in the retail industry. Minimizing the pollution and eschewing manufacturing in organisation which don not adhere to similar labour standards as the US are both considered as major example of corporate governance, ethics and social welfare etc.

Influence of corporate strategy and governance on performance of organisation.

According to Rothaermel (2015), evaluation of performance is based on analysis of leadership and control within enterprise as it provide reflection about strategic decisions and capabilities of management to achieve objective.

Good corporate governance tends to create growth of organisation is market and also enables company to obtain profitability. Further. If decision are taken by participation of employees in organisation then it is considered as effective. It tends to promote corporation and coordination between management as well as employees which tends to attain growth and development.

As per the view of Burns (2016), effective corporate provides positive influence on business performance because it provides opportunities for company to sustain its competitive position in market. Highly productive and goal oriented strategy always influence employees to perform task in such as manner that objectives of company will be accomplished in specified time duration.

Brammer, Jackson and Matten (2012), Business performance related with stability and capabilities of organisation to sustain and maximizing high profitability in market in comparison with stakeholders. Good corporate governance involves participation of employees in formulating corporate strategies and decisions. Effective corporate strategies and governance tends to improve potential and competencies of organisation in market which has increased its performance and competencies. However, bad corporate governance involves authoritative style of leaderships in management does not provide importance to employees in making strategies. They focus upon maximizing high profitability and growth apart from providing emphasis upon the benefit of organisation.

According to Grant (2016), Poor governance is related with ineffective strategies and decisions of enterprise that results in decline of their profitability and growth in market. Recently, some enterprises in retail industry have faced issues like decline in sales turnover, recognition, Good will and legal restrictions due to non compliance with laws. These issues highlight continuous decline in business performance of enterprise.

Resolution undertaken by organisation to resolve corporate governance issues.

There are various important resolutions have been analysed such as value based corporate culture, holistic view, compliance with laws, disclosure and accountability and corporate governance and HRM.

According to Sadgrove (2016), for regulation of business operations in effective way, it is required to have some ethics and values. For resolution of these issues, organisation needs to develop an ethical corporate culture within enterprise. Management should provide importance to their employees and protect benefits of its stakeholder to prevent or retail positive business relationship.

This holistic view and religious attitude is more important for regulating business enterprise, however, it is not easier for firm to adopt it, they need to make special efforts and once implemented, it will lead to development of nobility and regulation of positive relationship.

As per the view of Morden (2016), if company in retail sector mainly requires progress, posses ethical values and also have desire to regulate long run business operations, then they should abide and comply with laws such as Grocery Supply code of practice, investment laws, foreign regulation act, competition act, cyber laws and employment regulations etc.

According to Du Plessis, Hargovan and Harris (2018), disclosure and transparency is considered as major aspect of good corporate governance. For resolving the transparency issues, timely and accurate information must be disclosed by business enterprise on the matters like the financial position, performance etc. Moreover, transparency is required to state government should have faith of retail sector enterprise and consequently it reduces the corporate tax rates from 30% today as compared to previous years (Fernando, 2012). However, it can be said that transparency is much needed in the corporate bodies so that due to major competition in the market place, customers generally have various choices that is why they cannot shift another corporate bodies.

As per the view of Amran, Lee and Devi (2014) For the corporate body, the employees and requires are just like family. For resolution of corporate governance issues, Human resource management plays vital role because they both these aspects interrelated with each other. For resolution of issues such as ethical, compliance with laws and conflict of interest, HR department needs to formulate effective strategies. This aids the management in maintaining its position and high business performance in market.

It helps scholar to identify issues by ASDA in corporate governance and provide support in answering research questions through an effective process of data collection.

In addition, there are mainly two kinds of approaches such as deductive and inductive which are used for testing hypothesis and assumption taken by scholar to complete research. Inductive approach focus on collection of data through observation and theories which are proposed towards the end of research process as the outcomes of research (Alvesson and Sköldberg, 2017). Deductive research is concerned with creation of hypothesis and also based on existing theory and then designing a research strategy to test the hypothesis.

Data collection

It is considered as process that is used for gathering and measuring information on targeted variables in systematic fashion which then enables one to answer relevant questions and evaluation of outcomes (VanPatten and Williams, 2014).

This aids the scholar in making research more reliable and accurate which tends to create emphasis on development of research more effective.

Sampling

It can be explained as specific principle which is used for selection of member of population that needs to be included in the study. It has been analysed that as many populations of interest are too large to work with directly, techniques of sampling have been created in order to obtain samples which are taken from larger populations (Wiek and Lang, 2016). Techniques of sampling have been classified in two categories such as probabilistic and non probabilistic. As study is qualitative in nature, simple random sampling is used by scholar which is part probabilistic sampling. Simple random is the purest and most straight forward probability sampling strategy (Sahu, 2013). The logic behind selection of simple random sampling is that reduce chances of biasses from the process of selection and will result in representative samples. In this research, Scholar has taken sample size of 10 respondents from higher management team which involves board members and directors of ASDA. It is beneficial for scholar to carry out research on small sample size and collection of relevant data.

Data analysis

It is analysed as process which implies to transformation of data gathered from different sources and presentation of findings of research (McGivern, 2013). It helps the users to analyse outcomes of research and understanding the issues involved in research. There are mainly two methods of data analysis such as qualitative and quantitative. Both these methods are appropriate for analysis of data and interpretation of results (Clarke and Fujimura, 2014). As this research is qualitative in nature, thematic analysis method is used by scholar for analysis of data gathered by using questionnaire. Themes are made for interpretation of results of research on corporate strategies and governance. Representation of graph, charts and table helps to make research more clear and reliable for users.
