In a business computer systems will also be needed as this speed up things and any calculations that the business has. When we start looking at the physical of the company, we look at the actions that assume to carry out its activities.

Stakeholders come in ranks of importance depending on what the business is, and this is what I will be talking about in my essay. Tesco Customers Customers are really important to business like Tesco as they are the people who will be purchasing their products and generating the income for the business. The customers will want to make sure that they are buying a quality product at a reasonable price. Customers can be play a key part in the way Tesco makes decisions, this is because if customers don’t like a certain product then Tesco will have to decide to remove the product for the shelves.
