Physical Resources
Physical resources are resources that are available to a business organization in the form of buildings and other tangible machineries needed for day-to-day operation. Tesco has many physical resources it uses daily. One of the main physical resources is the building itself. The building is required for success of the business for obvious reasons. It is needed so the customers can actually access and buy from the business. Without the main building, the business would be a disaster as it will not be suitable for shoppers especially in cold or rainy weather which is the normal weather in England.
Another physical resource Tesco has is the shelves which display the product for customers to buy. It is necessary for Tesco to have their products displayed neatly and tidy for customers to be able access the product easily. Without anything for the products to be held in a high position, the products will be scattered everywhere on the floor making shopping and sorting out the products difficult.

Technological Resources
Technological resources are resources that are usually intangible such as software, music or text. They too are owned by the business and have to be managed. One of the main technological resources that Tesco has is the software they use at the tills. This software will calculate all the sales made and how much is made. By having this technology, time is saved as there wont be people counting the money themselves where there will be more chance of error. It will also cost Tesco to hire people to count the money and keep track of sales.
Another technological resource is the software used for the Tesco clubcard. This software keeps track of what each customer is buying. By finding out this information the business can give unique offers to different customers. For example if a customer buys child product regularly, it would suggest they have a child. By finding out this information, Tesco will send a post with vouchers to baby products. This contributes to the success of the business as it has a USP (unique selling point) which not all supermarkets have.
