The Story Of Tesco

Tesco
Around the world and across cultures, the challenge of branding meets different obstacles. What appeals to one culture may not always appeal to another, because just as one group of people speak a certain language, they might also favor particular sounds, colors, and images in the advertisements they encounter. And so, to appeal to a wide range of customers on a global level, the best brands must embrace and utilize these nuanced differences. Tesco is a perfect example of a company doing just that.
Tesco is the third-largest grocery store brand right now, second only to Wal-Mart in overall profit. Internationally headquartered in the UK, they are also currently seeking success in South Korea. To do so, the brand has had to make some innovative and calculated changes.
The first step was a strategic name change. Tesco introduced themselves to the Korean market as Homeplus, a plan that helped this brand to eventually become the second largest retailer in South Korea. Though they were certainly not the first to employ this branding strategy, the name change has certainly served Tesco well so far. As of now, the first largest retailer is E-MART, whose most significant competitive advantage is just in having more stores. Perhaps for Tesco it’s only a matter of time until they ascend to the top.

Recruitment
The price of making mistakes in the recruitment process can be huge to companies and also to the economy. Hiring the right person at the right time and every time is virtually impossible but there are many basic errors employers still make and simple steps that can be taken to prevent this. Companies of all sizes do make errors but whether they are a large, global company or a small, local business they need to consider the costs and the consequences of not getting it right.
Some common mistakes and how they can be overcome include:
Timing: recruitment processes that are not completed quickly and accurately can be very costly; it often means an important job within the company is not being carried out and companies need to consider what this is costing them. If there are delays between the candidates applying for jobs, interviews and feedback or decisions this can put off many good candidates who could end up going elsewhere and giving the company a bad image. A timeline should be set out with closing dates for applications, scheduled days for interviews and preferred start dates, taking into consideration how urgent the vacancy is and the need for training etc. (more…)
