...External factors (analysed using key PESTEL factors) PESTEL analysis helps us to understand the overall picture of the operation of an industry. A. Political Factors The operations of any organisation are heavily influenced by the individual state policies enforced by each government and McDonald’s is no exception. For instance, there are certain groups in Europe and the United States that protest to the state pertaining to the health implications of consuming fast food. They claim that harmful elements like cholesterol and adverse effects like obesity are attributable to consuming fast food. There are other factors such as the tax law, employment law and related trade restrictions. Tax rates could affect the growth of the organisation. In a diverse working environment employment restrictions like working hour’s regulation require the organisation to employ more staff. Amendments like this increase the overall cost involved. Certain restriction has very strong influence in the operation of the organisation. Certain laws penetrate so deep that they even constrain the content of the food. Economic Factors Organisations like McDonalds which have global presence are affected by the changes in inflation and the exchange rates. Hence, these chains may have to adapt to the issues and the effects of the economic environment. The economic factors also determine the supply and demand relationship of the raw materials within the organisation. Other economic factors that impact...

... Introduction This report sets out to explain why organisations need change. Faced with dynamic economies and increased competition, more and more companies are struggling to establish dominance, gain market share, and in some cases, ensure their survival. Management must understand that the key to competitive success is to change the way the organisation functions. To assist in the need to change proposition theoretical frameworks and tools will used with supporting case examples to better illustrate why organisations need change. 3 Why do organisations need change? Organisations need change for a wide range of reasons. Organisations are never perfect and should be constantly changing to make themselves into significantly better companies (Porter 2005 ; Thompson et al. 2010). For example working practices may need updating to gain efficiencies, staff skills may need improving, customer service response times could be shortened, customers demanding a product or service you do not currently provide, new technology may produce improvements in efficiency, costs could be reduced, innovative new products may be possible to increase revenues and profit. This is by no means an exhaustive list these areas and many others should be reviewed on a regular basis to identify opportunities for change and innovation. A starting point in this process is to analyse the organisations current situation. Management literature (Thompson et al. 2010) suggests a good place to start to assess the need for...

...1. INTRODUCTION F or many companies, marketing plays a vibrant and a vital role in the strategic planning process. Even though marketing positions are incorporated in corporate level, most of them are represented at the functional level of an organization (Chawla, 2003). Kotler and Keller (2008) outlines the core definition of marketing, which says that ‘Marketing is the analysis, planning, implementation and control of carefully formulated programs designed to bring about voluntary exchanges of values with target markets for the purpose of achieving organizational objectives”. Marketing can be described as a strategy based analysis on planning that are used to combine experience, education and perspectives of the whole management team of the organization effectively by all means of developing focus in management and competitive advantage in the market arena. Gilligan and Wilson (2009) define Strategic Marketing Planning as “a typical development of strategies that are based on the planning team’s assessment of the market and perceptions of managerial expectations and organizational capabilities”. Therefore, the nature of strategic marketing planning and the development of the marketing plan show an in-depth understanding of the knowledge of thinking about the organization’s environment, managerial objectives, organizational capabilities and things that affect the process of planning and implementation. This report highlights the different perspectives of writers with regards...

The company’s mission and vision is striving to be the world’s best quick service restaurant and formalizing their beliefs into “People Vision and People Promise.” “Quality, Service, Cleanliness and Value (Q.S.C. and V) also became the company’s motto. (http://www.mcdonalds.com)[1] The company’s first McDonald store was built in 1940 by the original McDonald brothers, Dick and Mac. Later in 1954, Ray Kroc became the first official franchisee appointed by Dick and Mac McDonald in San Bernardino, California. Soon after, Mr. Kroc opened his first restaurant in Des Plaines, Illinois, and the McDonald’s corporation was created. The new franchise began to grow rapidly as a result of its success. It wasn’t long before the 100th McDonald’s restaurant opened in Chicago in 1961. Less than ten years after the opening of Ray Kroc’s restaurant the company began to expand all over the United States. Ray Kroc bought all rights to the McDonald’s concept from the McDonald’s brothers for “2.7 million in 1961.”[2] McDonald’s continued to have enormous growth during the 1960’s. In 1963 alone, McDonald’s sold their one billionth hamburgers, opened their 500th restaurant,...

Giving insight on different ways the productivity of its workers occurred, the future of management was influenced by the methodologies created by the Hawthorne studies. However the studies themselves cannot be truly deserving of its scientific findings, it has contributed very much to the change of management. The Hawthorne effect provides management with a better understanding of the work behaviour and attitudes of physical, economic and social variables (Pennock, G.A 1930). During the years 1927 to 1932 of the industrial revolution the series of investigations for work behaviour were conducted with the use of five selected women at Western electric factory, Hawthorne, Chicago. The research found that over time productivity continued to rise due to the experiments socialisation of workers (Obrenovic, Z 2014). Even if a change of conditions was put in place to decrease the productivity of work, it was found the decline was not as much as predicted before (Obrenovic, Z). The result of the productivity was concluded to be because of the team dynamic, socialisation and the relationship between the managers and women (Carey, A 1967). Management for the research did not use direct approaches to the women but...

...Main Aspects of Porter’s Five Forces Analysis • The rivalry between existing sellers in the market. • The power exerted by the customers in the market. • The impact of the suppliers on the sellers. • The potential threat of new sellers entering the market. • The threat of substitute products becoming available in the market. Understanding the nature of each of these forces gives organizations the necessary insights to enable them to formulate the appropriate strategies to be successful in their market (Thurlby, 1998). Force 1: The Degree of Rivalry The intensity of rivalry, which is the most obvious of the five forces in an industry, helps determine the extent to which the value created by an industry will be dissipated through head-to-head competition. The most valuable contribution of Porter's “five forces” framework in this issue may be its suggestion that rivalry, while important, is only one of several forces that determine industry attractiveness. • This force is located at the centre of the diagram; • Is most likely to be high in those industries where there is a threat of substitute products; and existing power of suppliers and buyers in the market. Force 2: The Threat of Entry Both potential and existing competitors influence average industry profitability. The threat of new entrants is usually based on the market entry barriers. They can take diverse forms and are used to prevent an influx of firms into an industry whenever profits, adjusted for...
