shows company’s financial condition in the market (Wang and Altinay, 2012). It helps capitalists to

Another example can be considered for understanding the role of Iceland Supermarket to

while buying the products are getting extra benefits. For this, firm has introduced different offers on
diversified goods and services so that customers can buy goods and services at low cost (Halbert

1.3 Responsibilities of Iceland Supermarket and strategies to meet expectations of stakeholders
Iceland Supermarket is known as a responsible retailer in British Food retailing sector. With
the time, company has formulated various strategies and methods to fulfil its responsibilities
towards its numerous stakeholders (Taylor Gooby, 2012). For example: in the present time,‐
customers are more aware towards their health and for this, they are focused on avoiding those food
products which contain artificial colours, fats, harmful chemicals etc. To meet this expectation of
consumers, Iceland Supermarket has developed “Good Food” strategy in which company has
removed artificial colours, monosodium glutamate, banned mechanically recovered meat,
hydrogenated fats, banned genetically modified ingredients etc from its all outlets.
On the other hand, government of UK expects from Iceland Supermarket to protect
environment and nature. In this context, it is a major responsibility of company to reduce the impact
of different business operations on the environment. In this context, organization has formulated
some strategies for reducing carbon footprints, minimising wastage, promoting recycling, reducing
carrier bag waste etc (Corporate Responsibility, 2016). To achieve all these, Iceland Supermarket
has installed energy efficient lighting and air conditioning equipment in the stores. Along with this,
company has developed new control strategy through which it can control store heating and air
conditioning requirement to reduce the consumption of energy and its wastage (Siewiorek and et.al.,
2012). New robust targeting and monitoring system of firm is focused on collecting half hourly data
of all the outlets in order to determine those areas where electricity is consumed more.
In 2011, Iceland Supermarket invested more than £5 million on different energy saving
projects like Voltage Optimization, high Efficiency Lighting etc. On the other hand, firm has

Therefore, from the above discussion, it has been concluded that there are various responsibilities
and strategies formulated by Iceland Supermarket to meet the objectives of stakeholders.
TASK 2
2.1 Different economic systems attempts to allocate resources effectively
Free market economy: Under this economic system, government has less intervention on
company for the allocation of resources. It is a complete capitalist economy where organizations are
operating business only for profit making (Free market economies. 2016). In this economy, business
enterprise can trade goods at the high prices and consumers are willing to pay for it. Further,
workers of the organization demand high salary and company is willing to pay for their efforts.
Transitional economy: This economy is adopted for developing industry in the marketplace. Here,
a central planned economy is changed into free market economy (Transition economies, 2016).
Command economy: Here, government takes decision to supply products in the market as well as
set their prices (Command economies, 2016). For instance: government has developed some laws
such as taking taxes from the organizations and after that spending of those funds.

2.2 Impact of fiscal and monetary policy on Iceland Supermarket and its activities
Impact of fiscal policy on Iceland Supermarket: Fiscal policy is used to influence the level of
economic activities of a nation by making changes in spending of government and taxation policy.
Federal Government develops taxation and government spending policy to run economy of the
country in a right direction with the help of decreasing or increasing demand as well as availability
of commodities (Pettinger, 2007). Changes in taxation fiscal policy affect customer’s demands due
to the alteration in amount of disposable income of the consumers. For instance: increase in tax
leads to decrease the net income of people and they become more budget conscious as well as they
limit their expenditures (Smithers, 2015). It is directly affected the demand of goods of Iceland
Supermarket and this in turn decreases the sales of products and services.
Impact of monetary policy on Iceland Supermarket: Monetary policy is used to control
macro-economic variables of economy with the help of interest rate. The impact of it on Iceland
Supermarket and its business operations can be understood by an example. If, Federal Government
increases the interest rate of bank loan then, it will create difficulties for customers to take loans
over high interest rate. It will also lead to reduce the spending power of consumers on the luxury
goods of Iceland Supermarket (Brunot, 2015). Due to this, demand of the products and services will
be reduced. Most of the services users will focus on limit the expenditure and save more money. It
will decrease the sales of company and it will lead to reduce its profit and revenue.
Therefore, from the above discussion, it has been determined that monetary and fiscal policy
of UK government put its positive and negative impact on Iceland Supermarket and its business
activities.
2.3 Evaluation of impact of competition policy and other regulatory mechanism on activities of
Iceland Supermarket
Impact of competition policy on the activities of Iceland Supermarket: Growth is an
important aspect for every type of organization which can only achieve by competition. UK
government has formulated and imposed various competition policy for all the industries. As per the
Competition Act 1998, there should be fair competition between the companies of same sector. Due
to this, Iceland Supermarket is adopting anti-competitive practices to take advantage of high
competition in the market (Galbreath, 2009). Along with this, it has promoted enterprise to brought
new innovations and styles in goods and services in order to gain competitive advantage. Another
impact of competition policy is improving quality of goods which enables Iceland Supermarket to
attract new customers along with raising its market share.

Impact of other regulatory mechanisms on activities of Iceland Supermarket: There are
various regulatory mechanisms that are related to health and safety at workplace, employment
opportunities, improving working conditions etc. These all are developed by UK government for
every kind of industry. In this regard, Iceland Supermarket has started to prepare different strategies

TASK 3
3.1 Market structures which determine pricing and output decision of businesses including Iceland
Supermarket
Market structure and setting of pricing of goods are interrelated to each other. These are the
part of economic structure of each and every organization. Perfect competition, oligopoly,
monopoly and monopolistic are the types of market structure. In perfect competition, there are no
market entry as well as exit barriers and companies are focused on offering homogeneous goods
and services to same target market. In monopoly, there is only one organization dominating in the
market. There are some market entry barriers but profit margins are high as compare to perfect
competition market structure (Hanning, 2013). On the other hand, in monopolistic market structure,
there is no market entry as well as exit barriers and companies are focused on offering differentiated

goods and services to the community. It helps in making huge profit for the long time and enjoying
present market condition. Beside this, oligopoly market is dominated by the few firms and they
serve similar services to the same target market.
From the last decade, British retail market has been dominating by few large supermarket
chains in which Iceland Supermarket is also included. Due to the reason of economic recession,
prices of food and grocery products become vary and this thing has influenced the British
consumers to look for value of money. From the research, it has been identified that thinking of
buyers are shifting and they are attracting towards convenience stores. This thing is responsible for
determining the prices of goods along with taking output decisions (Statistics and facts on
Supermarkets in the United Kingdom, 2016). But market structure is more important aspect as
compare to other elements which helps Iceland Supermarket in taking pricing decisions. Market
structure of grocery and food retail industry of UK is oligopoly (Supermarkets, 2016). But market
structure of cited company is perfect competition as by adopting this, firm and its competitors are
offering homogeneous commodities to the customers. It has increased competition level between
Iceland Supermarket and its competitors in the consumer oriented market (Kunnanatt, 2011).
Hence, perfect competition market structure assists Iceland Supermarket to set pricing of its
products in an effective manner along with taking many other business related decisions.
3.2 Market forces shape Iceland Supermarket responses

follows:

important to determine the demand of particular goods so that decision related to the
production of more commodities can be taken.
 Elasticity of demand and supply: Elasticity of demand is varied as per the demand of goods
in the market and the pricing of goods. For instance: Iceland Supermarket wants to sell old
stock and elasticity of demand and supply of particular good is high (Sledge, 2011).
Therefore, response of company towards it is that firm will decrease the prices of products
in order to release old stock.
 Economic of sales: It is a cost benefit method that is achieved by manufacturing products
according to the cost per unit. For example: Iceland Supermarket wants to decrease the final

price of its products so that customer can get good quality of commodities at lower prices.
To give response towards the following market force, company has to increase volume of
production of its goods so that low cost per unit can be maintained.
 Expectations of customers: With the time, needs and wants of consumer have changed to a
lot which is another big market force. For instance: customers of Iceland Supermarket are
looking towards the fashionable cloths which are comfortable in every season (Zhang and
Huang, 2012). Therefore, with respect to this market force, Iceland Supermarket can bring
some new innovations or modifications in its existing products.

this, organization has adopted forward thinking policies with the aim of minimising environmental
impact and using hydrocarbon refrigerants in outlets to store frozen food products (Brinkman,
Navarro and Harper, 2014). Furthermore, firm has contracted and started working with external
parties such as Carbon Trust, British Retail Consortium Environmental Policy Action Group,
WRAP etc.

prepared by considering ethical consideration and without harming environment as well as animals.
Therefore, such kind of culture and values of customers are affecting business of Iceland
Supermarket. Due to this, company is now considering some ethical consideration while operating
business. Further, staff members of the organization belong to different culture backgrounds (Craig

TASK 2 2.1 Different economic systems attempts to allocate resources effectively Free market economy: Under this economic system, government has less intervention on company for the allocation of resources.

Federal Government develops taxation and government spending policy to run economy of the country in a right direction with the help of decreasing or increasing demand as well as availability of commodities (Pettinger, 2007). Changes in taxation fiscal policy affect customer’s demands due to the alteration in amount of disposable income of the consumers.

In monopoly, there is only one organization dominating in the market.
