Section A 1500 words
Research available information on Tesco, the UK retailing organisation, in China. You should search for information from a range of
sources, both academic and otherwise.
Write a short report for an imaginary Manager discussing Tesco’s approach in China. Your report should include:
• The background to the important issues as you see them
• Rationale for Tesco’s approach in China
• An evaluation of Tesco’s approach in China
In your work, you shouldn’t, merely present the information obtained through your research. Instead, you should also critically analyse
the information, and suggest reasons for the success or failure, as you see it, in light your knowledge of the international business
literature.
Section B 1500 words
Compare and contrast the resource based and institutional views, and comment on the extent to which each complements the other in
informing international organisations. You should justify your position using your knowledge of the issues gained from your lecture
readings and beyond.
