  • J Sainsbury Plc and the UK Food Retail Industry
    J. Sainsbury plc and the UK food retail industry This long case builds on issues introduced in Minicases 4.7 (p.192) and 10.8 (p.478) and covers themes from the whole book. There are four accompanying questions and five associated tasks which require you to use the Internet. Naturally your insight into the issues would also benefit from a visit to a Sainsbury’s store. A commentary on the four questions is provided later. BACKGROUND Founded in 1869 by John James and Mary Ann Sainsbury, J Sainsbury plc has become one of the largest food retailers in the UK. Its origins date back to one of the poorest regions in London and it gained its reputation for selling high quality products at low prices. It was as far back as 1882 when its strategy of high quality products at premium prices in more affluent areas began to develop. Facing serious competition from larger chains, the founder expanded threefold between 1890-1900 so that he could benefit from purchasing economies of scale and compete with contemporary rivals such as Liptons. From then on the company, still under family control grew from strength to strength. By the 1970s it had reached the scale of operation that merited public status and as such was the biggest ever flotation on the stock market in 1973. Family descendant John Sainsbury was Chairman during this period – he remained in control from1969 until 1992. During his stewardship the company pursued a strategy of growth through market development into new geographic areas and new store development in the shape of large out of town outlets, beginning with Telford and Cambridge.

    JOSEP TÀPIES • ELENA SAN ROMÁN • ÁGUEDA GIL LÓPEZ 100 FAMILIES THAT CHANGED THE WORLD Family Businesses and Industrialization “If there is one quality that centenarian firms have in common, it is that they have known how to adapt to the many circumstances and challenges they have been faced with. Family businesses are usua- lly managed with a long-term vision, and there can be no doubt that the companies featured in this book provide a clear example of how to achieve this.” José María Serra, chairman of Grupo Catalana Occidente “This book is an effective tool for better understanding the manage- rial and industrial development of family businesses. This is undoub- tedly an objective approach that allows the reader to learn about the key factors that, in each case, have been fundamental to the suc- cess of centenarian companies. Moreover, it is a work of study and analysis that reveals the best practices of each company in an effort to keep its activity going throughout the years.” Tomás Osborne, chairman of the Osborne Group 100 Families That Changed the World Family Businesses and Industrialization Josep Tàpies, Águeda Gil, Elena San Román All rights reserved.

Tesco has greatly diversified, extending its business lines from food into non-food, clothing, financial services, and telecommunications. It ranks sixth in the international retail market behind Wal-Mart (US), Carrefour (France), Home Depot (US), Metro (Germany), and Royal Ahold (Netherlands).1 Tesco was not always the dominant player it is today. In 1990, it was a mid-sized food chain far behind its rival, Sainsbury’s. Starting in the 1990s, it pursued a broad set of growth initiatives, steadily increasing its market share and gaining importance.
