I am doing some research on major European retailers. In this context,
I am looking for an in-depth company profile (including financials,
organization, strategy, growth levers...) of Tesco.

Hello johny1969-ga,

Tesco is a huge company and there is a tremendous amount of
information about it. It is profiled in depth by most of the large
financial advice websites. These sites will provide you with links to
explore every aspect of your question. In addition to lots of free
information, there are also a number of expensive market research
reports covering Tesco that you might want to check out. The table of
contents and executive summary in these reports can provide insights
on how to continue your research.

All the best for you research project.

Dear johny1969-ga,

It's unfortunate that you didn't familiarize yourself with how Google
Answers operates so you could have had more realistic expectations for
what you could get for your price of $50. I suggest that you review
the following references so you can have a better experience the next
time. If after reviewing these guidelines you still feel you didn't
get an appropriate answer please feel free to ask for a refund.

All the best for your future research projects.

Being charged $50 to redirect me to public websites where I can buy
standard information is not quite what I expected.
I was expecting a lot more than a link to well-known websites. I was
looking for synthesis and analysis, with - ideally - some insight.

Have you checked out the website?
http://www.tesco.com/investorInformation/

I did check their website, but I am looking for a more detailed and
less subjective analysis.
