UK’s largest retailer based on the overview on their domestic and international markets. Tesco has more than 2,000 combined stores of supermarkets, superstores, and conveniences stores in United Kingdom, the rest of Europe, and in Asia that adds to the sales and revenue of the organization yearly. Because of the success of the organization in the industry and the business, many organizations desire the throne of Tesco. With the use of the case studies, organizational reports and other contexts, the organization that operates in either domestic or international market gained some important ideas that can help them drew closer to the core operation of the organization.

Once structures become common in an industry, they tend not to change. Certain social structures remain long after they are no longer suited to situations. For example, the railroad industry in the United States developed a structure that became dysfunctional as the engineering technology in the industry advanced. The tendency to stick with industry-specific structures may be changing with the proliferation of mergers and acquisitions and ever more rapid developments in engineering technologies. These developments may lead to the increased homogenization of structure as companies struggle to handle common problems of size. Alternatively, the need for structural change may become apparent more quickly due to technological advancement.

Another determinant of structure is comprised of the beliefs and values of the people forming the organization. Many firms in the computer industry, formed by young entrepreneurs who favor informal life-styles, have loose, informal, and collegial structures that reflect those values. Alfred P. Sloan put his personal stamp on the organization of General Motors in the 1920s, and it was not until the turbulent days of the 1970s that significant changes were made. Interestingly, these changes were brought about primarily as a response to the environment.
