Learning Aim E - The strategic and operational approaches used by Tesco to developing international
trade
Tesco is a successful multinational organisation that has used certain strategies to conduct
international trade successfully. In this report I will be undertaking in-depth research into the
strategies Tesco have used to successfully enter international environments. I will also be looking
into any failed ventures abroad so that I can fully evaluate Tesco’s success internationally.
International History
Before looking into the strategic and operational approaches used by Tesco to develop international
trade we have to understand their journey to international trade and where they currently trade.
Their first international venture was back in 1995 when they expanded stores into ‘Central Europe
with stores opening in Hungary.’1. They then continued to grow and expand from there with stores

operating internationally in the following countries:
UK
France
India
Malaysia
Czech Republic
Hungary
Japan
Turkey
Thailand
Taiwan
Ireland
Poland
Slovakia
South Korea
China
