...associated with pizza and hamburgers, the fast food industry has undergone a transformation over the past decade. The changes have been led by increasing social awareness about the importance of a healthy diet, which has made consumers rethink their fast food eating habits. In addition, Obesity rates have been increasing over recent decades in all industrialised countries, Australia having the dubious honour of being ranked as one of the fattest nations in the developed world. In 2011 to 2012, approximately 70% of males were overweight and 56% of females (ABS, 2013). Whilst obesity is ostensibly an individual disease, it imposes significant costs on society. Moreover, one-quarter of all Australian children, who aged 5-17, were overweight or obese in 2007 to 2008 (ABS, 2013). Consequently, industry retailers have responded by broadening the range of fast food options on offer and introducing new products to capture this expanding market. Trends in real household disposable incomes, consumer sentiment, competition from convenience stores and supermarkets and growth in the health consciousness of consumers have also driven demand for fast food. Most of these problems are satisfied by a few existing services and products such as Subway and Liten’Easy, and McDonald’s and Hungry Jack’s have tried to innovate their products to become healthier foods. However, there is lack of choices of products and services for customers and mostly Western food, thus, the menu does not have created...

...EXECUTIVE SUMMARY "Macroenvironmental forces The larger societal forces that affect the whole microenvironment - demographic, economic, natural, technological, political and cultural forces." - Kotler et al Macroenvironmental forces need to be studied by organisations as they can both provide opportunities and pose threats. The fast-food industry is a consumer service; two organisations that operate in the fast-food industry are McDonald's and Hungry Jack's. McDonald's was chosen because it is the primary operator in this market and holds the greatest market share. Hungry Jack's was chosen because the product they offer is the most similar to McDonald's. I thought it would be interesting to compare marketing strategies of two organisations that offer a fairly similar product. McDonald's is the market leader both in Australia and throughout the world. Hungry Jack's is positioned more as a market follower. Companies use target marketing to tailor for specific markets. There are three components involved in target marketing: market segmentation, market targeting and market positioning. McDonald's primary target markets are seniors, adults and teenagers however the most heavily targeted segment is children. Hungry Jack's also essentially segment their market using demographic variables. The final step in target marketing is developing a marketing mix. These tools are also known as the four P's and in the case of services, the seven P's. They are product, price,...
