WHAT IS QSC&V?• “If I had a brick for every time I’ve repeated the phrase Quality, Service, Cleanliness and Value, I think I’d probably be able to bridge the Atlantic Ocean with them.” —Ray Kroc

• The secret of McDonald’s success lies in its QSC&V• That is Quality, Service, Cleanliness & Value and limited menu of high quality,

moderately priced food served fast in spotless surroundings• Adopting different ways of promoting own products, welcoming people of

different culture with people’s choice of food helped McDonald to grow rapidly all over the world.

As discussed above, political and legal forces are highly important as they cover the main aspects of the company. Legal issues occurred in many places around the world. A legal issue in Russia for McDonald’s when, in 1993, a law passed in Moscow requiring all stores to have Russian names or at least names translated into the Cyrillic alphabet.

Page 9: Mcdonald’s-Case Study

SWOT - STRENGHTS• Largest fast food market share: It is the largest fast food chain in terms of total

world’s sales serving more than 70 million people around the world in more than 120 countries. McDonald’s traditional menu has been surprisingly successful. People with diverse dining habits have adopted burger and fries wholeheartedly. The very nicely prepared menus for different people have been McDonald’s biggest strength.

• QSC&V: QSC&V also has been its key strength, which it maintains time by time, by training employees through Hamburger University and maintains quality standards by opening quality assurance centres.

• Locally adapted food menus: Preparing various menus according to people’s choice in different countries adds to McDonald’s strength. For Example, In India McDonald does not serve beef as Hindu culture does not accept it. Whereas it serves chicken in India.

• Children targeting: The business successfully targets very young children through offering playgrounds, toys with its meals and advertisements.

SWOT - WEAKNESSES• New innovations: McDonalds has been around for a long time.

Customers want new things very frequently and they switch to new products very easily if they are attractive. So McDonalds need to be very innovative to hold their stake of customers.

• Unhealthy fast food: Fast food is not even healthy, so it is not accepted everywhere on the earth. So, they also need to practise on this factor to stand in all markets maintaining the regional taste.

• Negative publicity: McDonald’s is heavily criticized for offering unhealthy food to its customers, stimulating obesity and strong marketing focus on very young children.

SWOT – OPPORTUNITIES• Increasing demand for fast food: In the technological era the life style

of people has changed. People are more and more demanding fast food, which is served fast, friendly and good in quality. Demand from people can be McDonald’s opportunity. It can grow its food chains wisely to win the markets.

• Home meal delivery: Nowadays, the trend is to order food by telephone to the places where we want. Providing free home delivery service for customers can be a large opportunity for McDonalds.

Page 12: Mcdonald’s-Case Study

SWOT – THREATS• Trend towards healthy eating: Due to government and various organizations attempts to

fight obesity, people are becoming more conscious of eating healthy food rather than what McDonald’s has to offer in its menu.

• Local fast food restaurant chains: Local fast food restaurants can often offer a more local approach to serving food and menu that exactly represents local tastes. Although McDonald’s does a great job in adapting its own menu to local tastes, the rising number of local fast food chains and their lower meal prices is a threat to McDonald’s.

• Currency fluctuations: The business receives a part of its income from foreign operations. The profits that are sent back to US have to be converted into dollars and may be affected by the exchange rates, especially when the dollar is appreciating against other currencies. In 2012, McDonald’s profit was largely affected by appreciating dollar.

• Lawsuits against McDonald’s: McDonald’s has already been sued for many times and lost quite a few lawsuits. Lawsuits are expensive as they require time and money. And as McDonald’s continues to operate more or less the same way, there is high probability for more expensive lawsuits to come.

PORTER’S FIVE FORCE ANALYSIS

Prepared by: Jay H. Shah, Department of Technology Management, CSPIT, CHARUSAT

14

The entry of new competition to the market:• The barriers to entry are quite high for new entrants, as the size of McDonald’s

means they have achieved economies of scale and have preferential access to raw materials and distribution channels. New entrants may find that a high cost of investment is required in securing plant and machinery.

The threat of substitutes or replacement products:• A substitute product is one that can be used as an alternative to a company’s own.

It could be argued that the threat of substitutes to McDonald’s comes from pizzas and other domestic kebab and fast food houses. However, most of the above do not have the same level of convenience that McDonald’s offers, in having a number of outlets in big cities and also through the use of multiple drive-through outlets.

The bargaining power of buyers• This area is perceived to be fairly low risk for McDonald’s as consumers have little control over the

variations in the product offerings, price and place of distribution. The company should keep customers satisfied, as switching cost is low and the possibility of switching to another brand in case of dissatisfaction is relatively low.

The bargaining power of suppliers• This ranges from the threat of forward integration to the threat of cutting off supplies. As

McDonald’s has a great deal of influence over their suppliers, due to the fact that it aids them and trains them, the threats from suppliers are low. Due to the scale of McDonald’s operations, suppliers are keen to retain their contracts with the firm. McDonald’s internationalisation could also mean greater sales potential for suppliers.

The rivalry between firms of the same sector• The concentration of firms within the fast food industry is low due to the established presence of

McDonald’s, Burger King and KFC. However, in certain markets, McDonalds will face competition from established domestic fast-food outlets.

Page 16: Mcdonald’s-Case Study

IMPORTANT TO DISCUSSBefore McDonalds entered the European market, only few people believed that fast food could be successful in Europe. Why McDonalds succeeded? What strategies it followed? How did it differ strategies in Asia?

• Despite global operations, McDonalds stay in close contact with its customers, who want good taste, fast & friendly services clean surroundings, and quality. It is interesting that McDonalds was one of the first restaurants in Europe to welcome families with children. Not only the children are welcomed but in many restaurants they are also entertained with crayons and paper, a playland, and clown Ronald McDonald, who can speak 20 languages.

• Whereas in Asia, the trend is different. The people in Asia want food as per their taste, which McDonalds served them. They prepared their menus, which included regional taste of people.

IMPORTANT TO DISCUSSShould McDonalds expand its menu? If no, than why not? If yes, what kinds of products should it add?

• McDonalds do not need to expand its menu. McDonalds has been famous and liked for its very short and well prepared traditional menu, which people loves to have in their day to day life. Even expanding the menu requires more resources for varieties and more skilled persons. Though it can add some items according to regional taste but it should not change its traditional menu of burgers.
