    In 2012 the government decided to raise the minimum wage and change the vat rules this had a massive effect on marks and spencer’s as a company. The government raised the minimum wage to £6.18 an hour, This had a bad effect on marks and spencer because all the people at marks and spencer that were on the smaller minimum wage £6.08 (off which It was estimated that nearly half of their work force were on) this lead to an increase on cost that was estimated to be over £60 million pound, this cost would have impacted on marks and Spencer’s because this firstly their cost would have gone up and marks and spencer would have had to make the decision to raise their prices to cover the cost however if they were to raise the prices this would have meant that it would be even harder for customers to afford their food and this would have then meant that these customers may have found another way firstly their cost would have gone up and marks and spencer would have had to make the decision to raise their prices to cover the cost however if they were to raise the prices this would have meant that it would be even harder for customers to afford their food and this would have then meant that these customers may have found another supermarket they may be cheaper to shop at, Marks and spencer could of also absorbed the cost however if they were to do this this would affect their profit margin and their mean that the customer would make a smaller profit and it is likely that they share price will then become smaller due to the week earnings.…

    | I always shopped at Morrisons even after the revamp. The fresh prepared fruit had gone up from £1 to £1.25 and the ‘restaurant pizzas’ were 3 for £2: 50 the week before, but are now 3 for £ 3.00 so I went to Tesco and was surprised at the offers and they gave me £12 voucher off my next shop, when I spend £60. So, I am not going to shop at Morrisons.Again, a recent poll by Sun City “Morri-Poll” reveals the supermarket’s customers are fed up with posh displays such as “misty” exotic vegetables and delis. As one customer, who shopped in Morrisons since 1965 has stopped shopping in the supermarket, while a staff claimed that “I’ve worked for Morrisons for the last six years and the last 16 months have been the worst.” Such type of comments about a supermarket is particularly dangerous, given a study conducted in 1999 by customer service research firm TARP shows that: * One unhappy customer tells ten people about their experience. Each of these ten people tells another five people, meaning up to 50 people get to know of one person's poor experience with a firm. * central-e-commerce unfolds that a dissatisfied consumer will tell between 9 and 15 people about their experience. About 13% of dissatisfied customers will even tell more than 20 people!…

    There are two very important economic environments that effect Tesco, economic growth and the recession. An economic growth will be good for Tesco as business will be booming, more goods are being produced and profits are increasing. When this happens Tesco becomes a very high profit business and invest in new products or stores which can lead to Tesco being more profitable business wise. Profits are increased during economic growth as customers want more products; they have the money to spend and choose to spend it in Tesco’s. This leads to a much higher product demand, which affects the primary sector – farmers. Farmers will need more animals and more farm hands effectively as they are producing for a large company and if the demands aren’t met they will lose business.…
