McDonald's Corporation is the world's largest chain of fast food restaurants, serving nearly 47 million customers daily through more than 31,000 restaurants in 119 countries worldwide. McDonald’s sells various fast food items and soft drinks including, burgers, chicken, salads, fries, and ice cream. 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. Each McDonald's restaurant is operated by a franchisee, an affiliate, or the corporation itself. The corporations' revenues come from the rent, royalties and fees paid by the franchisees, as well as sales in company-operated restaurants. 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.1 History analysis:  The business began in 1940, with a restaurant opened by brothers Dick and Mac McDonald in San Bernardino, California.  Their introduction of the "Speedee Service System" in 1948 established the principles of the modern fast-food restaurant.

 The original mascot of McDonald's was a man with a chef's hat on top of a hamburger shaped head whose name was "Speedee." Speedee was eventually replaced with Ronald McDonald in 1963.  The present corporation dates its founding to the opening of a franchised restaurant by Ray Kroc, in Des Plaines, Illinois on April 15, 1955 , the ninth McDonald's restaurant overall. Kroc later purchased the McDonald brothers' equity in the company and led its worldwide expansion and the company became listed on the public stock markets in 1965.

With the expansion of McDonald's into many international markets, the company has become a symbol of globalization and the spread of the American way of life. Its prominence has also made it a frequent topic of public debates about obesity, corporate ethics and consumer responsibility.2

Competitive rivalry

The Five Forces Framework 2

http://en.wikipedia.org.

4 Substitutes

Buyers

The Threat of Entrants Large established companies with strong brand identities such as McDonald’s BKC, YUM, and WEN 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.

Bargaining Power of Buyers Low bargaining power of buyers.

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

Threat of Substitutes This could range from a competitive fast food restaurant to family restaurant to a home cooked meal. 5

Competitive Rivalry The strength of competition in this industry is very high; the main rivals are BKC, YUM, and WEN. They compete with international, national, regional, local, retailers of food products (restaurants, quick service, pizza, coffee shops, and supermarkets).

PESTEL Framework: Political: •

The international operations of McDonald’s are highly influenced by the individual state policies enforced by each government.

Economic: • • • • •

McDonald’s has the tendency to experience hardship in instances where the economy of the respective states is hit by inflation and changes in the exchange rates. Market leader. Very high target market. Low cost and more incomes. The rate at which the economy of that particular state grows determines the purchasing power of the consumers in that country.

Social: • •

Working within many social groups. Increase employments.

Technological • Advanced technology development. Environmental: • Quality standards. • Quality packing. • Local manufacture using foreign supplies.

6

Legal: • •

Legislation for product. Sustained logo.

External Audit: Opportunities 1.

Growing health trends among consumers

2.

Globalization, expansion in other countries (especially in China & India). Diversification and acquisition of other quick-service restaurants. Growth of the fast-food industry. Worldwide deregulation. Low cost menu that will attract the customers. Freebies and discounts.

3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Threats 1. Health professionals and consumer activists accuse McDonald's of contributing to the country’s health issue of high cholesterol, heart attacks, diabetes, and obesity. 2. The relationship between corporate level McDonald's and its franchise dealers. 3. McDonald’s competitors threatened market share of the company both internationally and domestically. 4. Anti-American sentiments. 5. Global recession and fluctuating foreign currencies. 6. Fast-food chain industry is expected to struggle to meet the expectations of the customers towards health and environmental issues.
