Functions of Tesco
Tesco is the private sector which is the main contributor to the country's GDP. According to
Wood et al. (2016), private sectors are the industries which support the nation by hiring 90% of
their nation's people as there employee. It is the responsibility of the management team to
quantitatively take part in the interactive p-lanning and decision making process which supports
the organisation for their betterment. On the other hand, Wood et al. (2016), have mentioned that
private sectors helps the nations by means of their service and goods and contribute their parts in
the tax revenue. It is the responsibility of the management team to maintain the strategy and
infrastructure of their service. Additionally, the management team and the managers promote and
uplift their business in the market. In addition to this, the managers of Tesco PLC analysis the
inefficiencies in the local communities and draws the conclusion for their problems. As per
Brannen et al. (2017), managers plays an important role in the organisation achieving target.
Human capital is an essential part for the organisation growth and it is the responsibility of the
human resource department of Tesco PLC to promote human capital and help the labour market.
It has been observed that there are lots of problems arise with the labour market which includes
labour low wages, overtime working and others. On the contrary Drabik et al. (2019) have
mentioned that it is the responsibility of the multinational organisation to promote the small,
micro and medium sized organisation. The management team of operational department of Tesco
are interested to raise the community and planned how they are developed. Furthermore, it has

Interrelationship between the structure and the functions
Interrelationship between the structure and the function of the management team must be defined
in such a way that every employee has been treated equally. As per Shpilka et al. (2017), there
are multiple heads present in an organisation to maintain the organisation status. Chief executive
officer is considered as the head of the organisation. The responsibility of the CEO is to manage
the organisation production, sales and workforces. The CEO basically guide managers of
different sectors like marketing, production, operation and it is the responsibility of the CEO to
assign them goals and target for their duties.
Production manager of Tesco PLC have a team of foreman in their production department like
fabrication, assembly heads. It has been observed that managers of production and marketing
shares their targets and goals to their juniors like foreman, sales office. The responsibility of the
manager is to provide the complete training related to their process and approach and motivate
them. Apart from motivation managers provides the innovative ideas to the juniors how to
approach that goals without stress and in stipulated time.
Foreman of the Tesco PLC guide their workers and juniors how to implement the factors in their
production. It is the responsibility of the foreman to train their workers in such a way they can
easily perform their work without errors and wastage. In addition to this, sales officers have their
juniors like salesperson who are responsible to sell their products in the market and generate
sales for the organisation. In order to maintain the sales rate it is the duty of the salesperson to
sell their products efficiently and gently in the market and identify the market needs.
It has been observed that in an organisation every department are depends on each others. For
instance if the production department does not able to meet the organisation demand then it
hamper the sales department because the sales department is directly proportional to the
production department or vice versa.

Conclusion
It can be concluded that there are different types of sectors like public sectors, private sector,
voluntary sectors like NGO. It has been observed that there are ample of difference between
those sectors. Public sectors owned by the government bodies and they perform their work in
non profit business because they directly contribute their profit for the nation's GDP. Private
sectors like Tesco PLC runs their business for their profit. Sometimes the private sector is
considered as the profit making sector. It fact, the private sector is the sector which hire mostly
people from that nation. In addition to this, in an organisation each department is interlinked to
each other like there is one CEO and the subordinate of the CEO are the managers. In fact,
managers also have their subordinates like foreman and sales officers in Tesco and the main is
the workers and the salesperson who manufacture the customers requirement and the salesperson
is responsible for sales of those products.
Recommendation
It can be recommended that the CEO of Tesco must cooperate with their lower level subordinate
which helps the CEO to analysis the problems from the real field. In fact, the managers must
arrange monthly meeting with their employees likes foreman, sales officers, worker and
salesperson. Furthermore, it is the responsibility of the government to support the NGO group
and provide them extra perks and relief them from taxation because they spent their 80% for the
common people wealth. In addition with the managers of Tesco PLC must directly interact with
the sales person and with the workers because it motivate the employees that they are not alone.
It is the responsibility of the private sectors to contribute at least something towards the growth
of the GDP and for the NGO’s.
