How future changes in economic political, legal and social factors, may impact on the strategy of a Tesco

INDIA’s Government recently introduced the Minimum Wages Amendment Bill in the legislative assembly
...
The Bill also
outlines stricter punishment for those found violating the norms as well as some new rules for the welfare of workers
...
Moreover, the introduction of minimum wage will drop profits of the company which means they will have to
increase the prices of there products which wouldn’t be a wise decision as many people in India have a low income
...

...
html “ Tesco’s annual loss of $9 billion recorded in 2013 may have affected Tesco’s
strategy as they are likely to go slow on expansion to prevent further losses
...
This affected their
strategy as it led to the withdrawal of tens of millions of burgers and beef products across Europe and a promise
from David Cameron that everything possible would be done to get a grip on a "very shocking" crime which made
TESCO look unprofessional and dishonest as they have lied about the contents of their foods

Further more the international business also suffered in the quarter to May 25 2013, with sales falling across Asia and
Europe
...
The growing aging population means that people are living longer due to
the advancement of drugs and treatments for countless of diseases which affects the NHS business strategy as the will
have more and more people look after which means it will be difficult for them to meet the government standard of
sticking to the budget and according to the BBC article http://news
...
co
...
stm”  The number of
over 65s in the UK is expected to rise by 53% between 2001 and 2031 to over 14m, with little change in the younger
population
...
Moreover, the ageing population will
keep on growing as according to the BBC “http://www
...
co
...
Moreover, the government plans to increase the retirement age to
level this out so people will have to work longer for Tesco which means less new employees will be required and it
wont lose many people with tremendous experience and knowledge
...
3% which is impacting on west Herts as people are more desperate for jobs which benefit the college because people
will be willing to work for less so they will not have issues with finding people to work for them at the minimum
wage
...
However, age is one of the protected characteristics of the equality act 2010 so doing that
might be discrimination
...
bbc
...
uk/news/business23003532 “By 2027, India is projected to have the biggest middle class population in the world which means the
demand of varied choices of products will increase which might impact Tesco’s strategy in India as will need to
increase their import to adjust to the change in the market which will affect their transportation costs but if all goes
well then will also sales will increase as customer satisfaction will be met
...
Further more the products to be imported will need to be of high quality
...
Internet access might also enable
people from rural areas like farmers to purchase essential goods without the need to travel far as Tesco offer delivery
...
Further more If the Indian government also imposes a new legislation
ordering all corporations in India to recycle over 61% of their waste when this might affect Tesco as the business
might have to invest in a recycling department which will cost them a lot of money as they will have to employ and
pay new people to do this job
...

If the UK government increased the minimum wage by 50 pence Tesco might need to pay 50 pence extra to every
employee, which can rise their costs and reduce revenue
...
The business’s future strategy is
likely to be influenced by this factor as the business might also choose to hire younger people straight out of education
so that they can pay them less as their minimum wage is much lower than that of an adult
...

Further more If the government also decided to offer grants to all companies who take on apprentices from the age 1618, this would give Tesco extra capital and reduce the UK’s unemployment rates
