Report about LIDL

Paper, Order, or Assignment Requirements

My organisation is LIDL. Some comments about LIDL store : In terms of growth from entering new markets they have come along in leaps and bounds in the past decade. Now present in close to 30 countries they show no signs of slowing down. Norway is the only country they weren’t successful and chose to exit by selling off their stores.
For your chosen organisation:
Task 1 – Critically evaluate their approach to international purchasing and supply-chain management, against models and concepts that have been explored in this module and from your wider reading. Critical evaluation requires you to take a balanced view of what is good in your chosen organisation and also what does not work so well and could be improved.
