Executive Summary
• One of the key ongoing issues is the nutritional values of fast food it offers its consumers.
• McDonald’s also faces the issues of:– Providing consumers good quality food at– Good prices with profitable growth in a competitive fast
food industry.
Porters Five ForcesThreat of Suppliers:•McDonalds and its suppliers are dependent on each other•McDonalds took the initiative to create a sustainable supply and develop quality and food safety standards.•For Example when McDonald’s decided to introduce healthy food items it:
– It chose Peterson Farmers to supply its apples, blue berries and cherries.– McDonalds’ chicken supplier, Tyson began using better quality chicken to supply the ingredients
for its chicken nuggets.
Threat of Buyers:•Due to low switching cost of buyers•McDonalds’s developed a framework that allows them to adapt locally•McDonald’s also focus in specific products for each market segment depending on the current trends, health, prices and innovation
Porters Five Forces Contd …Threat of Rivalry
– Intensity of rivalry is high – Main competitors are Burger King, KFC & Wendy’s– Introduced Mccafe coffee beverages to compete with Starbucks coffee– Zero switching costs lead to heavy competition– Introduced breakfast menu to compete with breakfast chain restaurants– Introduced healthy foods in the menu to compete with Subway and improve the brand image
Threat of new Entrants– Threat of new entrants is low to moderate– It’s difficult to compete with McDonald’s with their product differentiation, low cost products and
better customer service– It is one stop food chain for breakfast, coffee and regular menu and at the same time provide healthy
snacks– Large capital investment needed in marketing, advertising and locations to compete with McDonald’s– Extremely Efficient supply chains– It is difficult to compete with McDonald’s global brand image
Porters Five Forces Contd …• Threat of Substitutes
– Threat of substitutes is high– Zero switching cost can lead to switching to other convenience fast food
restaurants such as In-N-Out burger, Five Guys, etc.– People have started looking for low cost healthier options
