Tesco PLC is a brand name in the retail industry in the global world. The main strength of the

organization is the number of employees which the organization has in the different outlets in

the several different countries wherever the organization is established. The organization is

very popular and well-known for its brand recognition and also for its brand influence over

the global customers. The balanced scorecard (BSC) approach is a very apt and an

appropriate organizational strategy to cope up with the regular problems which the

organizational managers might face with the employees of the organization on a daily basis.

The balanced scorecard approach helps and assists the organizational managers to keep a

track and to keep a supervision on the performance of the employees each day of work at the

work place. The most important aspect of the BSCbalanced scorecard approach is the fact

that every employee working in a particular organization can actually understand his/her own

actual annual performance. The managers can also understand and analyse where they have

gone wrong or which are the areas they need to improve on, as far as the performances of the

employees and the managers of a particular organization are concerned. There is a checklist

which can be of great use while using and utilizing the BSCbalanced scorecard approach by

the managers of Tesco PLC to the maximum. This is because the checklist in the balanced

scorecard approach gives not only the positive aspects but also the negative and the neutral

aspects of organizational performance of both the employees as well as the managers of any

organization.
