Abstract

This review paper examines Tesco's international purchasing and supply-chain management strategies, focusing on its operations and strategic initiatives. Tesco, a prominent global retailer, faces significant challenges and opportunities in a competitive market environment. Through a SWOT analysis, Tesco's strengths in efficient logistics and expansive market reach are highlighted, alongside weaknesses such as environmental sustainability concerns and operational inefficiencies. The study also explores Tesco's value chain, emphasizing its primary activities like inbound logistics and outbound distribution, as well as supporting activities such as human resource management and technological innovations like RFID. Future challenges, including environmental sustainability and market expansion in Asia and Africa, are discussed, with recommendations provided to enhance Tesco's sustainable development and competitive position in the global retail landscape.
