Stakeholder Conflict - Tesco


       Article 1:
  • The conflict is between the employers and the the worker.
  • The nature of the conflict is they want the job but the pay and condition are under threatening because of plans to transfer them from Wincanton to another firm.
  • The negative result is the worker, they are gonna strike and also the TESCO supplies will be affected.
  • My advice is to transfer the employees to another firm and raise their paid.



  • Article 2:

  • The conflict is between Tesco and its shareholders, who are all over the place.
  • The nature of the conflict is Tesco wishes to change the conditions for fired board members, so that they are settled with more money even though they lose their job.
  • The negative result is the investors have jumped off and not reelected members, but then pressure from media about Tesco's growth caused the rest of the investors to stay with Tesco. 
  • My advice is Tesco should give board members not as much money as originally planned, but a bit more than what they got before, this way, everyone should be satisfied.


  • Article 3:

  • The conflict is between Tesco and its customers
  • The nature of the conflict is Tescopoly goes against Tesco, adapting their name from the company's name, which refers to the dominance of one firm over the whole market.
  • The negative result is Retailers therefore try to get the customers away from Tesco and give the company a bad image to the consumers, but Tesco still believes in its customers because they are still making profits for Tesco. 
  • My advice for this case is they can set standard prices for items and only allow certain items for each firm to be on sale at a time, this would eliminate most competition and promise profits for both sides.



















    Article 4:

  • The conflict here is between Tesco and the local community, which already has 3 Tesco markets.
  • The nature of the conflict is 130 citizen representatives got together in a community council meeting and voted against the development of yet another Tesco. 
  • The negative result is Tesco wanted another store in that particular location was because there is a lot of traffic in that area.
  • My advice for this situation is Tesco is allowed to build this new store of theirs, but would then need to close down one of the three existing stores as soon as the new one is able to operate.

















    Article 5:

  • The conflict here is between Tesco and its suppliers, a bakery in Manchester.
  • The nature of the conflict is they are planing to close the bakery because Tesco wants to increase its supplies from other bakeries instead. 210 jobs would then be lost. 
  • The negative result is the workers of the bakery are very unhappy. When they asked if they couldn't just relocate or produce different products, they were told that there wasn't the capacity to do that. 
  • My advice for this case is Tesco could make a deal with another retailer of baked goods, so that the bakery would then supply them instead of being closed.
