Re: UKNM: Online grocery retail - was .com vs .co.uk

[Ray Taylor]

Hate to reply to my own comment but should have read my FT before starting

this one.


The following:


 "Tesco, the UK's leading food retailer, plans to separate its e-commerce

 arm from the core supermarket business.

 "The group will announce the split for TescoDirect alongside its annual

 results on Tuesday next week. The new division will be wholly owned

 by Tesco, which claims to be the world's leading online grocery business,

 outstripping US rivals in turnover terms.


 from: www.ft.com company news


..suggests Tesco could, in fact, be its own biggest competitor in a matter

of weeks. It will still be owned by Tesco, but question is, how much

autonomy will the new management have?


And if they continue to use Tesco store staff to do the picking, how does

Tesco Direct keep control of the customer service, etc?
