Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: Distinction, University of Lincoln, course: International Marketing, language: English, abstract: According to Doole and Lowe (2008), International marketing involves the firm in setting up manufacturing or processing facilities around the world and coordinating marketing strategies across the globe. This essay will explain how Burger King’s strategy will respond to the needs of Bangladeshi customers and moreover discuss if there are any opportunities available for Burger King to establish itself in Bangladesh, given the attractive environment of Bangladesh. Burger King, which is known as BK is the second largest fast food hamburger chain in the world. It is operating in more 12,200 places and serving over 11 million customers daily in 76 countries and territories worldwide. In addition, almost 90 percent of the Burger King restaurants are possessed and operated by independent franchisees. (Burger King Website, 2011) The revenue of Burger King for 2010 is $ 2502.20 million during 2010. It has decreased of 1.40% from the 2009 (Yahoo Finance, 2011). The revenue of it was $2537.4 million during 2009. It was increased of 3.2% over 2008. The operating profit of this company was 339.4 million in the 2009 which decreased of 4.1% from 2008. (Datamonitor, 2010). Burger King is acquired by the investment firm 3G capitals more than 90% of the company during 2010. (Yahoo Finance, 2011) According to John Chidsey, chairman and chief executive officer, Burger King carried strong revenues even with escalating economic and consumer uncertainties by profitably executing on various growth strategies, marketing leadership, including net restaurant growth, product innovation, longer competitive hours and operational excellence. (Burger King Website, 2011) If we look at Bangladesh market, then we find that there are some leaders that already exist in the fast food industry of Bangladesh. These are – KFC, Pizza Hut, A&W, BFC (Best Fried Chicken), Helvetia, etc.

Download or read book Burger King Changing or Imitating written by Anthony Vu and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2013-01-04 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Marketing, Corporate Communication, CRM, Market Research, Social Media, grade: A-, Santa Clara University, language: English, abstract: Purchased in 2010 by 3G Capital Management, BK became privately owned with a single business corporate strategy. Immediately, the new ownership group set out to make impactful company-wide changes. The first change was the elimination of the firm’s “King” mascot in 2011, which was seen as edgy and targeted towards young men in their teens and twenties. The new phase, which began earlier this year, consists of a drastic change in overall brand strategy to reposition BK as a broad and appealing restaurant in the QSR industry. To attract a wider audience, such as women and health-conscious customers, BK has added a significant amount of menu items including smoothies, coffee drinks, and salads. Furthermore, it has set out to remodel around 1,500 restaurants. In place of the previous mascot, BK has enlisted A-list celebrities (i.e., David Beckham and Selma Hayek) to advertise its products. Another strategy that they plan to implement is to sell almost all of its 1,300 corporate stores to franchise stores in an effort to protect itself from commodity-cost swings and fixed costs. With significant competition from both current as well as fast-growing QSRs (i.e., Five Guys Burgers and Fries, Panera Bread, and Chipotle Mexican Grill), BK’s recent moves have been perceived as imitating the leader, McDonald’s, rather than differentiating the company. While it remains to be seen whether or not the strategy is enough to grow the business, a potential concern is whether 3G Capital Management is looking for long-term growth or settling for marginal growth in the short-term to fund their exit from the company by going back to a public entity. The current strategy conveys that BK is in “catch-up” mode instead of trying to distinguish itself as a premier QSR. Considering both internal and external factors, the firm needs to win back and increase its customer base as the way to grow its business. To do this, some recommendations for BK in the short-term are to introduce a happy hour that includes an accommodating menu of new products, offer nutritious kid’s meals that are part of a healthy, balanced diet, and launch an online ordering system for customers to pre-order meals for pick-up. In the longer-term, we suggest BK buy out the highest performing franchises to gain additional streams of revenue, implement an incentive program to reward the best franchise stores, and start a high density delivery service.

Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2006 in the subject Business economics - Marketing, Corporate Communication, CRM, Market Research, Social Media, grade: 1.0, Western Carolina University, course: Marketing Management & Mature Consumers, 8 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: The American fast food preparation and presentation model created a strong cultural and collective identity. The model has provided the consumers with uniformity and repeated experience. This phenomenon is called the `McDonaldisation' of the US society that has embraced the all American meal throughout the globe. People want quick and convenient meals; they do not want to spend a lot of time preparing meals, traveling to pick up meals, or waiting for meals in restaurants. As a result, consumers rely on fast food. Knowing this, fast food providers are coming up with new ways to market their products that save time for consumers. For example, McDonald's locates its outlets inside Wal-Mart stores across the United States, and also in Chevron and Amoco service stations. These arrangements are becoming more common in the fast food industry. Consumers can combine meal-time with time engaged in other activities, such as shopping, work, or travel. This idea shapes the growth strategies of most firms in the industry. The most significant driving force is the inexorable movement towards bigness and concentration of power in the hands of fewer and fewer firms at almost every point in the fast food sector. Other driving forces can be seen in the changing structure of American families as more women entered the work force, increasing globalization of the food system, the environmental movement and equity concerns. On the other hand, women are the driving force behind the fast food industry into another direction. Women's attitude towards health and food content has put pressure on the fast food industry to alter their product mix. However, the great success of the traditional fast food outlet is potentially beginning to lose its pull factor. It is believed that the actual fast food sector is in transition from a traditional selling of burgers to the pre-eminent arrival of a fast casual food industry. The driving force for change has been a number of issues that raise questions to scrutinise the fast food companies, such as the link of regular fast food ingestion to obesity, chains showing operating loss for the first time in their history and the forced closure of outlets. This is reflected on McDonald's facing a lawsuit from an overweight teenager who felt it was the company to blame for her condition. The food giant has also closed down outlets worldwide.

This book was released on 2018-12-18 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,3, University of Applied Sciences Köln RFH, language: English, abstract: 1.1 Company Profile In terms of both revenue and brand value, McDonald’s founded in California in 1940 with its headquarters in Oak Brook, Illinois is arguably the most well-known fast food chain in the world. The company serves a locally relevant-menu of various food items, soft drinks and other beverages. The corporation is so globalized that the Big Mac Index is a standard indicator for measuring the purchasing power parity between countries.[1] To obtain operational growth, McDonald’s works aggressively on becoming a 95% franchise entity by 2018. Approximately 235.000 people were employed as of year-end 2017 in the 36.000 stores in 120 different countries. With its franchise model, the corporation is similar to a large real estate company which is structured into four segments: the largest market is the United States; international lead markets including France, UK, Canada, Australia and Germany; the high growth markets including China, Italy, Poland, Russia, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Netherlands and the foundational markets, including 100+ countries are also relevant.[2] Although the annual revenues are decreasing from year to year, the company’s profitability shows a positive development. In the restaurant industry, McDonald’s generates a significant part of the company’s operating income outside the United States. With a regard for volatility risks in connection with foreign currency changes, the effective income tax rate for 2018 is expected to be in the 25-27%. Nevertheless, there are no significant capital investments required through the gains in franchisee royalties[3] to attempt benefits for McDonald’s shareholders for the long term.[4]
