I. McDonald’s Overview McDonald as being ninth most valuable brand in the world which has replaced the US army as the Nation’s largest job training organization &Controls the market share of more than 3 food chains taken together in America started in 1940. McDonald's Corporation (MCD) is the world's largest chain of fast food restaurants, serving nearly 47 million customers daily.McDonald's primarily sells hamburgers, cheeseburgers, chicken products, French fries, breakfast items, soft drinks, milkshakes and desserts. More recently, it has begun to offer salads, wraps and fruit. Many McDonald's restaurants have included a playground for children and advertising geared toward children, and some have been redesigned in a more 'natural' style, with a particular emphasis on comfort: introducing lounge areas and fireplaces, and eliminating hard plastic chairs and tables. Company has also expanded the McDonald's menu in recent decades to include alternative meal options like salads and snack wraps in order to capitalize on growing consumer interest in health and wellness Each McDonald's restaurant is operated by a franchisee, an affiliate, or the corporation itself.

McDonald's revenues grew 27% over the three years ending in 2007 to $22.8 billion, and 9% growth in operating income to $3.9 billion

II. History 1954, a fifty-two-year-old milk-shake machine salesman saw a hamburger stand in San Bernardino, California, and envisioned a massive new industry: fast food. In what should have been his golden years, Raymond Kroc, the founder and builder of McDonald's Corporation, proved himself an industrial pioneer no less capable than Henry Ford . He revolutionized the American restaurant industry by imposing discipline on the production of hamburgers, French fries, and milk shakes. By developing a sophisticated operating and delivery system, he insured that the French fries customers bought in Topeka would be the same as the ones purchased in New York City. Such consistency made McDonald's the brand name that defined American fast food.

World’s Oldest McDonald’s This 44 year-old site is the oldest in the worldwide chain of 20,000 restaurants and the last one with red and- white striped tile exterior. After opening in 1953, it immediately became the standard for the fast food franchises across the country. The building and its 60- foot high neon sign with "Speedee the Chef" are eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Employees wear 50's style uniforms of paper hats, white shirts and bolo ties. The restaurant serves the original menu of hamburgers, cheeseburgers, fries and old-fashioned milkshakes. Also available are more recent McDonald's items such as Big Macs and Happy Meals. McDonald's reopened the facility as it was with walkup windows and outdoor seating. They also constructed and addition housing a museum, gift shop, restrooms and more outdoor seating.

VI.Five Forces Analysis Competition Restaurant industry is highly competitive industry. There are many small fast food businesses in the industry who fight with each other to improve their customer base; McDonalds is not an exception to this. Since its establishment in 1940, MCD has excelled in the sector. Nevertheless, to stay in the competition, it started with McCafé. This helped the company to stay in the business as a major fastfood business. Another major step came out when McDonald started Breakfast to compete with the existing business serving breakfast. Hence, this industry is extremely competitive and the MDC should be up to date with customer taste & preferences.

Ease of Entry Although it is hard to enter the restaurant business, it is hard to establish a distinct brand name. There is a high cost of entry in the market and there is \ high research and development costs. Large established companies with strong brand identities such as McDonald’s do make it more difficult to enter and succeed within the marketplace; new entrants find that they are faced with price competition from existing chain restaurants.

Substitutes There are many substitutes in this industry. Since there are a wide variety of products that people can choose, they could either be substituted by MDC Burgers, Beverages, dairy products, and others.

Strength of Suppliers Power of suppliers within the fast food industry would be relatively small, unless the main ingredient of the product is not readily available.

Strength of Buyers Relatively strength of buyers is low in this industry

Distinctive Notion According to a report issued by Business Week, McDonalds holds 9th position in top 100 brand names all over the world in 2007.

Available at the front counter and drive-thru, McDonald’s can now provide express service to espresso lovers throughout the U.S. Nevertheless, it is also popular among youngsters. Breakfast product is another specialty under the portfolio of McDonalds. Earlier opening times, premium coffee and a flavorful breakfast menu have accelerated our morning momentum in the U.K. and U.S., growing sales and our market share at breakfast.

IX.Porter Value Chain Analysis of McDonald’s The goal of these activities is to offer the customer a level of value that exceeds the cost of the activities, thereby resulting in a profit margin for McDonalds. •

Operations: the processes of transforming inputs into finished products and services. Outbound Logistics: the warehousing and distribution of finished goods. Marketing & Sales: the identification of customer needs and the generation of sales. Service: the support of customers after the products and services are soldto them. •

These primary activities are supported by:

Technology development: technologies to support value-creating activities.The value chain model is a useful analysis tool for defining a firm's corecompetencies and the activities in which it can pursue a competitive advantage as follows: Cost advantage: by better understanding costs and squeezing them out of the value-adding activities. •

As Per the Porter's 5 Forces analysis McDonalds deals with factors outside an industry that influence the nature of competition within it, the forces inside the McDonalds influences the way in which the firms compete, and so the industry’s likely profitability is conducted in Porter’s five forces model.

Placing products in the BCG matrix results in 4 categories in a portfolio of a McDonalds: 1. Stars (=high growth, high market share) •

Frequently roughly in balance on net cash flow. However if needed any attempt should be made to hold share, because the rewards will be a cash cow if market share is kept. So, McDonald’s USA is under Star position.

2. Cash Cows (=low growth, high market share) •

Profits and cash generation should be high, and because of the low growth, investments needed should be low. Keep profits high.

3. Dogs (=low growth, low market share) •

Avoid and minimize the number of dogs in a company.



Beware of expensive ‘turn around plans’.

4. Question Marks (= high growth, low market share) •

Have the worst cash characteristics of all, because high demands and low returns due to low market share

Conclusion Increase its product line. To have more variety to choose from, to include more deserts and more items like Pizza McPuff. It should continue to provide better and quick service. By lower the supply chain cost so that it helps in cost reducing. MCD is willing to expand their Happy Meal choices to attract and retain customers& can also Introduction of McCafees serving premium and specialty coffees and other beverages and other products such as cakes, pastries etc in the existing McDonald’s.

McDonald’s have achieved this through applying the maxim, `think global, act local’
