Tesco organizational structure is TALL structure. Because managers in high-level organizations have only a small number of employees to supervise, they are able to monitor more closely and spend more time training their employees. Career development and promotion of employees also have very clear lines.（Magloff  n.d.  As shown in Figure  below, Tesco's governance structure consists of five committees that report to the Tesco PLC Board of Directors. The Tesco Executive Committee, led by Dave Lewis, the Group's chief executive officer, has 11 members.   [pic 4]

Tesco's organizational structure is highly hierarchical, reflecting the size of the business. Even at the store level, there are up to four layers of management in some large stores. It is important to note that the following structure is not rigid for all Tesco stores, and some shops operate with slightly different structures, reflecting their location, size, and other store-specific factors.
