Mc Donald’sValue Creation
Created By:Pulkit Gupta(13DM142)
HistoryHeadquartered in the United States, the company began in 1940 as a barbecue restaurant operated by Richard and Maurice McDonald.
In 1948 they reorganized their business as a hamburger stand using production line principles.
Businessman Ray Kroc joined the company as a franchise agent in 1955. He subsequently purchased the chain from the McDonald brothers and oversaw its worldwide growth.
Some FactsMcDonald's is the world's leading food service retailer with more than 34,000 restaurants in 119 countries serving more than 68 million customers each day and employing more than 1.7 million people.
In 1996, McDonald’s entered India through a joint venture with two local Indian companies— Hardcastle Restaurants Private Limited in the west and south region and Connaught Plaza Restaurants Private Limited in the north.
Franchise Model – Only 15% of the total number of restaurants are owned by the Company.
Mission StatementMcDonald's brand mission is “to be our customers' favorite place and way to eat and drink with inspired people who delight each customer with unmatched quality, service, cleanliness and value every time.”
As per McDonald’s Senior Management:
“Our worldwide operations have been aligned around a global strategy called the ‘Plan to Win’ centering on the 5 Ps for exceptional customer experience: People, Products, Place, Price and Promotion.”
“We are a learning organization that aims to anticipate and respond to changing customer, employee and system needs through constant evolution and innovation.”
The great Indian challenge As stated by Amit Jatia, vice chairman of McDonald’s India, West & South:
“When the company entered India, it was quick to note that its biggest challenge would be to cater to the local tastes and preferences. In addition, most customers initially perceived McDonald’s to be an expensive restaurant that catered only to the youth. The challenge was to break that perception and gain acceptance as a family restaurant.”
As stated by Vikram Bakshi , Managing Director ** , North & East:
“It really doesn’t make sense to sell beef in a country where 85% of the population doesn’t eat or will even shun a restaurant where beef is served”.
**Role disputed till any notice from London Court of International Arbitration
Excellence in 5 PsToday we can see that McDonald’s has changed all these consumer perceptions by its unique value design, communication, delivery mechanism and despite increasing competition they are able to sustain these values.
Company has established a firm brand image by creating value for customer in five marketing dimensions:
1. Product2. Price3. Place4. Promotion5. Packaging
ProductMcDonald’s changed its product line altogether by adapting to Indian conditions. It included some Indian favorites like Aloo and Paneer items cooked with Indian spices.
Product Elimination: Removal of Beef flavored products restricted to chicken, fish and lamb.
Mc Aloo Tikki is the best selling product till now. It became possible by producing and selling the burger in Indian style.
Same product variety and taste across India.

Customer and Management Views
We visited the nearest McDonald’s outlet at Ansal Plaza and we got following replies by Manager and Customer.
As per Floor Manager “Mr Rajeev Sharma” :
“Our core competencies include Quick Service, Economical Prices and cleanliness”
Combined response of some regular customers:
“McDonald’s is better than other fast food restaurants because of varieties in food items, convenient locations, lower prices and faster service.
