...Assignment 1 | Foreign Market Analysis | Nando’s going into China | | Muhammad Usman Dastgir (23104392) | 8/24/2012 | | Executive Summary This report is designed to provide an environmental analysis for the penetration of Nando’s into the Chinese market. Nando’s is a South African based multinational which specializes in fire grilled chicken, promoting a healthy lifestyle through their signature offering of a grilled piece of chicken with side dishes. With a population of more than 1.3 billion, China is the most populous country on earth and the growing economy provides a higher disposable income for consumers. Moreover a growing trend of western cuisines has strengthened this industry and laid a perfect platform for Nando’s to enter the market. The Chinese consumers belong to a well knit community and believe in benefit for all. Thus Nando’s needs to engage the locals in the business as much as possible to create friendly ties which will help the company establish itself. Furthermore with the acceptance of Western culture, multinationals aspiring to enter the Chinese market find it much easier to penetrate the market. Over the years, China has transformed into a growing country and a superpower, and comparatively boasts of a stable political and legal system. Although it may not be ranked highest on the ‘ease of doing business’ scale, China has nevertheless transformed itself into an investment hotspot. It could be concluded that China has rapidly...

...the Andes on 13 October 1972. More than a quarter of the passengers died in the crash and several others quickly succumbed to cold and injury. Of the 27 who were alive a few days after the accident, another eight were killed by an avalanche that swept over their shelter in the wreckage. The last 16 survivors were rescued on 23 December 1972, more than two months after the crash. The survivors had little food and no source of heat in the harsh conditions at over 3,600 metres (11,800 ft) altitude. Faced with starvation and radio news reports that the search for them had been abandoned, the survivors fed on the dead passengers who had been preserved in the snow. Rescuers did not learn of the survivors until 72 days after the crash when passengers Nando Parrado and Roberto Canessa, after a 10-day trek across the Andes, found Chilean arriero Sergio Catalán, who gave them food and then alerted the authorities to the existence of the other survivors. The crash On 13 October 1972, a chartered Uruguayan Air Force twin turboprop Fairchild FH-227D was flying over the Andes carrying the Old Christians Club rugby union team from Montevideo, Uruguay, to play a match in Santiago, Chile. The trip had begun the day before, when the Fairchild departed from Carrasco International Airport, but inclement mountain weather forced an overnight stop in Mendoza, Argentina. At the Fairchild's ceiling of 9,000 metres (30,000 ft), the plane could not fly directly from Mendoza, over the Andes, to Santiago, in large...

...Nando’s, on the other hand, are a mono branded business. They are wholly privately owned. This means that they are not legally obliged to comply with all King Code principles, but rather heavily encouraged to do so. As they are a private company, they do not produce an integrated annual report for public review, as do the listed companies. This means that they could skim the surface of King compliance and do the bare minimum. Many privately-owned companies do exactly this. Nando’s have clearly taken their role within wider society extremely seriously and their CSR programs reflect this. It is a clearly crafted strategic imperative with outcome based goals. The CSR programs that have been chosen reflect the quirky brand personality – the Art project is a particular case in point. Nando’s chooses to proudly advertise their CSR programs in all their branches, the artwork is proudly on display, and the bracelets sold for the malaria project (all with explanation attached) are for sale at every till point. Robbie Brozin, the co-founder has reiterated time and again that Nando’s is a passionate brand and that every CSR project “has to be threaded into the DNA of the brand.” This promise, in my opinion, has been clearly fulfilled. He further goes on to say that CSR should not be something which is a whim of a new CEO or committee in that they decide that the next project will be to support some form of sporting activity – something that, whilst giving back to society, does not...

...Evaluate different methods Nandos could use to differentiate their restaurants. (13 Marks) Nandos is a chain of Portuguese restaurants which over the last 5 years has grown astronomically, this is due to Nandos taking a different outlook on its restaurants than a lot of over businesses, and its success is down to differentiating itself from its competitors. One way in which Nandos differentiates its restaurants is by not following the traditional model of service; the stereotypical way to order in a restaurant is to be seated and then a waiter will come over and take your order, then your food comes and you receive the bill and pay for your food after. Nandos was one of the first restaurants not to follow this models; at Nandos you get seated then have to go up to the counter and order yourself and pay then, afterwards the food is delivered and once you’ve finished you can go whenever you want. This was a successful way of Nandos making itself different from competitors as it allowed people to have a more relaxed vibe as customers do not have to way around for ages for waiters. This leads to customers being happy with their customer service which therefore would mean that Nandos has good brand loyalty due to this. Depending on how well the customer service is could mean that if customers like it a lot then may even tell their friends about it, this word of mouth promotion would increase the footfall at the Nandos restaurants. Another way in which Nandos differentiates its restaurants...

...nook in a corner of my mind, I’d even been looking forward to this… I hadn’t been happy and I hadn’t felt better, not at all. But I did now. My body was broken- just how badly I wouldn’t find out until later- but I felt healed. Healed at last. I laughed” (Hosseini 289). Amir in a very unlikely and almost strange moment finally accepts what has happened to him and his childhood best friend and finally begins to make amends with it. He lets go and accepts the unbelievable and because of this is willing and capable of truly helping Sohrab once he rescues him, which is what a true survivor does. The second example comes from within Miracle in the Andes where once again the author Nando had to accept and do an inconceivable act, eating another person to stay alive. The surviving group runs out of food and Nando and a few others come to the obvious conclusion, that it was the only food source to survive....

...Commitment can be defined as the measure of an individual’s desire to succeed. Commitment refers to what allows for a promise to transform into a reality, and is the act of following through (Ashbash, 2005). This is a common occurrence within families, neighbors, employers, religious beliefs, our health, and in all things we do and say (6:5, Ephesians; 10:25, Hebrews; 1 Corinthians 6:19, 31, n.d.). Joe Simpson; the author of Touching the Void and Nando Parrado; the author of Miracle in the Andes, share the same communication of this idea throughout their writing. Throughout Joe Simpson’s novel, Touching the Void, two mountain climbers make a perilous venture to the summit of Peruvian Andes and strike tragedy on their decent, displaying the...
