Introduction

This study focuses upon the process of customer continuity and growth strategies

adopted by Tesco. The various practices adopted by the Tesco has been critically

analysed with valid references from various sources. The study also proposes

recommendations to the current strategies and suggests new strategies that can be

adopted in the real time.

Customer continuity and growth

Customer continuity becomes a challenging aspect in times of pandemics ad the

normal means to communicate and the additional pressures of financial crisis to

continue the normal business operations makes this challenging. New business

strategies have to be formulated to overcome the gaps in the current customer

relationship management and ensure the process of business continuity with them.

Business processes needs to be updated based upon the thoughts of the customers.

The changes in the business landscapes are rapid based upon the changes in the

needs of the customers.

Swartz, (2003), identifies Business and customer continuity needs to focus on the

process of understanding customer demands, alter the strategies based upon the

requirements of the day. Hence a strategy planned before a month can’t match the

3
demands of the customers of the current time. Thus, the readiness to adopt to the

new form of the landscapes is a major strategy for the continuation process.

Practices within the chosen firm

Purely data-driven drive

Business and customer continuations are possible only by adoption to full-fledged

digital infrastructure. Assessing the needs of the customers, sales of the items and

the satisfaction levels are best assessed in the process of standardization of their

current data collection and analysis. A pro-active adoption to the data techniques

mainly deploy the use of the modern techniques to analyse the customer needs,

collect their feedback and communicate with them in various digital forms like Web

sites, Blogs, emails, social media, and smart apps. Automatic analysis of the user

satisfaction based upon the likes made by the user for the specific product and the

number of recommendations by use of the internal programmes leads to best

analysis of the customers in favour of the product and those not in favour (Attaran,

2003). The reason for the customer to support or like the product and those to not

like the product stays as the primary information source for improvement of the

product in future. This also helps in bringing together different people from the

different departments to resolve the common issues met by the customers. Early

proactive adoption to the modern technologies, big data applications and cloud

4
systems to store massive data are the main recommendations for formulation of new

strategies in the current times.
