...to the venture. Market research provides relevant data to help solve marketing challenges that a business will most likely face--an integral part of the business planning process. In fact, strategies such as market segmentation (identifying specific groups within a market) and product differentiation (creating an identity for a product or service that separates it from those of the competitors) are impossible to develop without market research. Market research involves two types of data: Primary information. This is research you compile yourself or hire someone to gather for you. Secondary information. This type of research is already compiled and organized for you. Examples of secondary information include reports and studies by government agencies, trade associations or other businesses within your industry. Most of the research you gather will most likely be secondary. When conducting primary research, you can gather two basic types of information: exploratory or specific. Exploratory research is open-ended, helps you define a specific problem, and usually involves detailed, unstructured interviews...

...BURGER MACHINES – MARKET SIZING Introduction This is a case study based on a real case that OC&C worked on in 2005, trying to gain an idea of the global market for Burger machines. This is typical of an ‘analytical’ case study that you will get asked – requiring sound numerical skills (the ability to competently use a calculator), the ability to come up with some sensible estimates and some commercial awareness. Excellent candidates differentiate themselves by the quality of the answer, but also the time taken to respond – some of the later, more advanced questions will only get touched upon if a candidate has ‘aced’ the earlier questions. Case Background Our client is responsible for the sale and manufacture of burger machines that produce the meat patties that populate the ever-popular hamburgers, sold worldwide by the likes of McDonald’s and Burger King. OC&C have been approached to help them think about their international expansion strategy, and in particular the opportunity posed by developing markets, such as China, India etc. Your specific task on this case is to scale the opportunity – i.e. how many Burger Machines could this company expect to sell into China in the future. Market estimation methodology First question: how would you estimate the market for burger machines? The good candidate explains that the market for burger machines is clearly driven by the fast food market, so we need to consider the total number of burgers that are likely to be sold, the...

...trained staff (White, 2009). The founder of Five Guys developed these strategies in each of the initial five stores. The same strategy would be used subsequently in all of the 200 company stores and the 839 franchise stores in the United States and Canada (Burke, 2012). In each of the 1000+ stores the menu is the same, burgers are made fresh daily, French fries cut daily featuring the name of the farm that grows the potatoes, and a kosher hot dog. The only menu choice a customer might have is what they want on their burger. Murrell decided that a simple menu of food made perfectly was the key to their success (Welch, & Murrell, 2010). Too many menu items would result in employees not making something right, followed by negative press eventually putting them out of business. Sticking to the basics has taken the chain on a path of success which has garnered them a market share of $1.1 billion dollar of a total $2.2 billion dollar industry in the “better burger” market (Burke, 2012). Simply making burgers has proven to be the best investment made by Jerry Murrell as a means of keeping his family close. Five Guys concept is as simple as the burgers made at any Memorial Day or Fourth of July cookout. This chain seems to have gotten it right when most businesses overextend themselves providing too many choices while trying to please a broad customer base (Burke, 2012). Too many choices will send customers to too many places for less than great food. Five Guys learned...

...dollars per hour. The majority of those marching were activist students and employees of fast food industries. If protesters are successful in securing a fifteen dollar per hour minimum wage up to seventy percent of them will lose their jobs. For the first time in history, if the fifteen dollar per hour wage is approved, a fully automated solution would be an economically viable solution for struggling companies like McDonalds. Several companies are nearing commercial launch of the automated burger process. “Roboburger,” an automated burger machine can produce 8,500 burgers a day while 25 employees can produce 320 per day in comparison. If the companies are only required to pay a minimum wage of eight dollars per hour and contract labor, which means no benefits, it would still be viable to hire those 25 employees. The automation over the next few years will affect over 20 million workers. Evidence shows that minimum wage increases disproportionally hurt the people they are supposed to help. In the case that seventy percent of fast food employees lose their jobs, the wage increase would have little effect on reducing poverty. Evidence suggests that raising the minimum wage does not reduce poverty. In a 2012 review by Mark Wilson it was...

The company recorded revenues of $21,586 million during the fiscal year ended December 2006 and increase of 8.8% over 2005 (Yahoo Finance, 2007).

...Case Study of McDonald’s I. Name of the Company McDonald’s Corporation II. Point of View Newly appointed CEO of McDonald’s, Charles Bell III. Time Context April 15, 2004, after the death of James R. Cantalupo IV. Historical Background of the Company The business began in 1940, with a restaurant opened by brothers Richard and Maurice McDonald at 1398 North E Street at West 14th Street in San Bernardino, California. Their introduction of the "Speedee Service System" in 1948 furthered the principles of the modern fast-food restaurant that the White Castle hamburger chain had already put into practice more than two decades earlier. 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". By 1967, Speedee was eventually replaced with Ronald McDonald when the company first filed a U.S. trademark on a clown-shaped man having puffed-out costume legs. Since it was founded more than 50 years ago, McDonald’s has been defining the fast food business. However, the company had been stumbling over the past decade due to its rapid expansion in the 1990s and the lack of adequate employee training. McDonald’s was headed into serious trouble until the arrival of James Cantalupo, who turned around the company by introducing new additions in its menu and cutting back on its expansion plans. During his brief tenure, McDonalds recorded strong growth in sales over the last three quarters. V. Statement of the...
