Introduction
A SWOT analysis is a structured planning method used to evaluate the strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities and threats involved in a project or in a business venture. A SWOT analysis can
be carried out for a product, place, industry or person. It involves specifying the objective of the
business venture or project and identifying the internal and external factors that are favorable and
unfavorable to achieve that objective. Some authors credit SWOT toAlbert Humphrey, who led a
convention at the Stanford Research Institute (now SRI International) in the 1960s and 1970s
using data from Fortune 500 companies. However, Humphrey himself does not claim the
creation of SWOT, and the origins remain obscure. The degree to which the internal environment
of the firm matches with the external environment is expressed by the concept of strategic fit.
Strengths: characteristics of the business or project that give it an advantage over others.
Threats: elements in the environment that could cause trouble for the business or project.
SWOT analysis aims to identify the key internal and external factors seen as important to
achieving an objective. SWOT analysis groups key pieces of information into two main
categories:
1. internal factors the strengths and weaknesses internal to the organization
2. external factors the opportunities and threats presented by the environment
external to the organization
Analysis may view the internal factors as strengths or as weaknesses depending upon their effect
on the organization's objectives. What may represent strengths with respect to one objective may
be weaknesses (distractions, competition) for another objective. The factors may include all of
the 4Ps; as well as personnel, finance, manufacturing capabilities, and so on.
The external factors may include macroeconomic matters, technological change, legislation, and
sociocultural changes, as well as changes in the marketplace or in competitive position. The
results are often presented in the form of a matrix.
SWOT analysis is just one method of categorization and has its own weaknesses. For example, it
may tend to persuade its users to compile lists rather than to think about actual important factors
in achieving objectives. It also presents the resulting lists uncritically and without clear
prioritization so that, for example, weak opportunities may appear to balance strong threats.
It is prudent not to eliminate any candidate SWOT entry too quickly. The importance of
individual SWOTs will be revealed by the value of the strategies they generate. A SWOT item
that produces valuable strategies is important. A SWOT item that generates no strategies is not
important.
One way of utilizing SWOT is matching and converting. Matching is used to find competitive
advantage by matching the strengths to opportunities. Converting is to apply conversion
strategies to convert weaknesses or threats into strengths or opportunities. An example of
conversion strategy is to find new markets. If the threats or weaknesses cannot be converted, a
company should try to minimize or avoid them.
"This analysis leads to business awareness and is the cornerstone of any successful strategic
plan," said Bonnie Taylor, vice president of strategic marketing at CCS Innovations. "It is
impossible to accurately map out a small business's future without first evaluating it from all
angles, which includes an exhaustive look at all internal and external resources and threats. A
SWOT accomplishes this in four straight-forward steps that even rookie business owners can
understand and embrace."
Niki Pfieffer, founder of Niki Pfieffer Designs, noted that many small business owners don't
know how to properly use a SWOT analysis to guide their business.

King and its stringent adherence to hygienic standards can go a long way in changing customer
perceptions about the category and the brand.
PR campaigns talking about the entrepreneurial stories of the young founders of initiatives
like Jumbo King can give a lot of publicity to the concerned brand and this comes at no cost.
Other innovative means of reaching the consumers like printing out city maps or train/bus
timetables (with information on Jumbo Kings outlets) for commuters and distributing them can
be employed. Being a low involvement product with a target customer group that is mostly on
the go, the challenges of reaching this segment are many. Designing a really great advertisement
and putting it on TV or a big billboard on the road in all probability will not translate into sales.
Creative advertisements must be complemented with equally creative ways of placing these
advertisements so that they are noticed. Jumbo King is about speed and convenience and
hence locations and objects which are associated with these attributes (like bus-train time tables,
guides, road signs etc) should be used to integrate ideas with their execution as a part of the
Jumbo King identity.
Media Planning - Showing the World Both the traditional as well as non-traditional strategies
for advertising offer great opportunities for creative marketers to show off their skills in
convincing people to buy their products. Preparing a catchy and innovative advertising campaign
is no easy task and a well prepared creative plan can work wonders for the company and its
products. But that is just one side of the story. A marketer may have done an excellent job in
identifying the target audience and preparing an excellent commercial for them, but what use is
all that if it doesnt reach them? That is where an effective media strategy comes into the picture.
One needs not just be creative and different in terms of preparing ads, but should also be adept at
executing those well prepared ads to perfection. Media planning is all about determining the
media habits of consumers in the target group and formulating how this knowledge can be
exploited to reach the target group effectively. For a budget conscious brand like Jumbo King, it
becomes even more important to have a judicious mix of media since targeting all media
channels (TV, print, radio etc) can be prohibitively expensive. Different media channels can have
different impact on the customers at different costs
Print Media This can be a very effective medium for the franchise since it has the maximum
reach among the target audience. Since Jumbo King is a budget-constrained and predominantly
regional brand, local language newspapers and magazines can be cost effective sources of
advertising. Television Media Television is a very popular source of entertainment amongst
students and professionals and this popularity can be tapped by Jumbo King for reaching these
people who form a substantial portion of its target audience. Again regional channels will hold
the key for Jumbo King since they are cheaper and not averse to advertising insignificant
products like vada pav. Radio Media Jumbo King can also make use of FM radio channels to
send across their message, cheaply and effectively. FM radio is a very popular entertainment
source for commuters and professionals and hence the message can spread across far and wide at
minimal cost. Internet Media Since Jumbo King aims to target students and professionals,
internet can be a very important medium for advertising in the future. Strategies such as blogs,
banners, websites etc can provide good publicity to Jumbo King with minimum cost incurred and
also create an interactive environment for customers to provide their views about the company
and the product. Another important part of the media stratagem is to evaluate expenditure by
competitive brands. This provides an idea of the relative performance of brands
corresponding to the spending done. In the present case, Jumbo Kings competitors like
McDonalds, which have large budgets, can afford to go for Continuous/Pulsing strategies
(advertising regularly or with very short breaks) on TV. But for smaller players like Jumbo King,
it is necessary to carefully choose the advertising media and formulate a proper timing strategy,
also taking factors like future growth and expansion into consideration.
Research methodology
Chapter 2:
Conceptual Framework of SWOT Ananlysis
The usefulness of SWOT analysis is not limited to profit-seeking organizations. SWOT analysis
may be used in any decision-making situation when a desired end-state (objective) is defined.
Examples include: non-profit organizations, governmental units, and individuals. SWOT analysis
may also be used in pre-crisis planning and preventive crisis management. SWOT analysis may
also be used in creating a recommendation during a viability study/survey.
Strategy Building.
SWOT analysis can be used effectively to build organization or personal strategy. Steps
necessary to execute strategy-oriented analysis involve: identification of internal and external
factors (using popular 2x2 matrix), selection and evaluation of the most important factors and
identification of relations existing between internal and external features. For instance: strong
relations between strengths and opportunities can suggest good condition of the company and
allow using aggressive strategy. On the other hand strong interaction between weaknesses and
threats could be analyzed as potential warning and advise for using defensive strategy.
continue to revisit ours every year to keep it updated due to constant shifts in market trends. It's a
crisp and simple way to communicate the most important aspects of our brand."
The SWOT analysis is an excellent tool in organizing information and presenting solutions,
identifying roadblocks and emphasizing opportunities.
"Performing a SWOT analysis is a great way to improve business operations and decision
making," said Andrew Schrage, founder and CEO of Money Crashers. "It allowed me to identify
the key areas where my organization was performing at a high level, as well as areas that needed
work. Some small business owners make the mistake of thinking about these sorts of things
informally, but by taking the time to put together a formalized SWOT analysis, you can come up
with ways to better capitalize on your company's strengths and improve or eliminate
weaknesses."
While the business owner should certainly be involved in creating a SWOT analysis, it could be
much more helpful to include other team members in the process.
"Our management team does a SWOT analysis quarterly," said Shawn Walsh, president and CEO
of Paradigm Computer Consulting. "The collective knowledge removes blind spots that, if left
undiscovered, could be detrimental to our business of our relationship with our clients."
Brandon Dudley, director of marketing and operations at The BusBank, also said that
collaborative SWOT analyses give employees a greater sense of understanding and involvement
in the company.
Internal factors
The first two letters in the acronym, Strengths and Weaknesses, refer to internal factors, which
means the resources and experience readily available to you. Examples of areas typically
considered include:
When it comes to listing strengths and weaknesses, individuals shouldnt try to sugarcoat or
glaze over inherent weaknesses or strengths. Identifying factors both good and bad is important
in creating a thorough SWOT analysis.
"Using the SWOT analysis has, more than once, saved me from myself, keeping me from taking
on projects that would likely have been too much for my small company," said Tom Atkins,
founder of Quarry House.
Mitchell Weiss, business professor at the University of Hartford, recommended fully analyzing
your strengths and weaknesses first.
"Companies can't hope to take advantage of or control the external factors until the internals have
been objectively assessed," he said.
External factors
Every company, organization and individual is influenced and affected by external forces.
Whether connected directly or indirectly to an opportunity or threat, each of these factors is
important to take note of and document. External factors typically reference things you or your
company does not control, such as:
Market trends, such as new products and technology or shifts in audience needs.
Supreme Graphics, a commercial print manufacturer, was struggling to compete with the digital
industry in retaining its larger advertising and marketing clients.
"We used a SWOT analysis to identify a new market opportunity in small manufacturers that
needed ink-on-paper projects," said Michael Frishberg, Supreme Graphics' vice president of sales
and marketing. "This provided organic, non-disruptive growth."
On the other hand, Lynn Sheehan, co-founder and CEO of CPA review for FREE, noted that a
SWOT analysis helped her company fully analyze its pricing structure, which would have been a
threat to its success.

The SWOT analysis is a simple, albeit comprehensive strategy in identifying not only the
weaknesses and threats of a plan, but also the strengths and opportunities available through it.
While an excellent brainstorming tool, the four-cornered analysis prompts entities to examine
and execute strategies in a more balanced way. However, it is not the only factor in developing a
business strategy.
"A SWOT analysis is helpful in broadly addresses questions to develop a business plan, but it
doesn't go far enough," said Worthworm and SkyMall co-founder Alan Lobock. "The exercise
alone won't identify your key value drivers of your business. Planning without first knowing
your goals and the metrics by which you will measure your progress toward achieving those
goals is inefficient and misguided."
Similarly, Sempurna Restoration Clinic founder Cleighton DePetro noted that a SWOT analysis
is just one tool in the strategy toolbox.
"When SWOT is used in conjunction with other analysis models, these frameworks for strategic
thinking are well worth your time and should guide your decision making," DePetro said.
The SWOT-landscape systematically deploys the relationships between overall objective and
underlying SWOT-factors and provides an interactive, query-able 3D landscape.
The SWOT-landscape grabs different managerial situations by visualizing and foreseeing the
dynamic performance of comparable objects according to findings by Brendan Kitts, Leif
Edvinsson and Tord Beding (2000).
Changes in relative performance are continually identified. Projects (or other units of
measurements) that could be potential risk or opportunity objects are highlighted.
SWOT-landscape also indicates which underlying strength/weakness factors that have had or
likely will have highest influence in the context of value in use (for ex. capital value
fluctuations).
Marketing
In many competitor analyses, marketers build detailed profiles of each competitor in the market,
focusing especially on their relative competitive strengths and weaknesses using SWOT analysis.
Marketing managers will examine each competitor's cost structure, sources of profits, resources
and competencies, competitive positioning and product differentiation, degree of vertical
integration, historical responses to industry developments, and other factors.
Marketing management often finds it necessary to invest in research to collect the data required
to perform accurate marketing analysis. Accordingly, management often conducts market
research (alternately marketing research) to obtain this information. Marketers employ a variety
of techniques to conduct market research, but some of the more common include:
Marketing managers may also design and oversee various environmental scanning
and competitive intelligence processes to help identify trends and inform the
company's marketing analysis.

As part of the development of strategies and plans to enable the organization to achieve its
objectives, that organization will use a systematic/rigorous process known as corporate planning.
SWOT alongside PEST/PESTLE can be used as a basis for the analysis of business and
environmental factors.
Environmental scanning .
Analysis of existing strategies, this should determine relevance from the results of an
internal/external appraisal. This may include gap analysis which will look at
environmental factors
Strategic Issues defined key factors in the development of a corporate plan which
needs to be addressed by the organization
Develop new/revised strategies revised analysis of strategic issues may mean the
objectives need to change
Monitoring results mapping against plans, taking corrective action which may mean
amending objectives/strategies.
Benefits
The SWOT analysis in Social Work practice framework is beneficial because it helps
organizations decide whether or not an objective is obtainable and therefore enables
organizations to set achievable goals, objectives, and steps to further the social change or
community development effort. It enables organizers to take visions and produce practical and
efficient outcomes in order to effect long-lasting change, and it helps organizations gather
meaningful information in order to maximize their potential. Completing a SWOT analysis is a
useful process regarding the consideration of key organizational priorities, such as gender and
cultural diversity, and fundraising objectives.
Limitations
Critiques include the misuse of the SWOT analysis as a technique that can be quickly designed
without critical thought leading to a misrepresentation of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities
and Threats within an organization's internal and external surroundings.[17] Another limitation
includes the development of a SWOT analysis simply to defend previously decided goals and
objectives. This misuse leads to limitations on brainstorming possibilities and "real"
identification of barriers. This misuse also places the organizations interest above the well being
of the community. Further, a SWOT analysis should be developed as a collaborative with a
variety of contributions made by participants including community members. The design of a
SWOT analysis by one or two community workers is limiting to the realities of the forces
specifically external factors, and devalues the possible contributions of community members.
Chapter 3:
Introduction to Jumbo King
Jumbo King is a chain of fast food restaurants based primarily in Mumbai, specialising in
the Maharashtrian regional dish vada pav. Established in 2001 by husband and wife Dheeraj and
Reeta Gupta, the company was inspired by the fast food business model
of McDonald's and Burger King. Jumbo King Foods Pvt. Ltd is a franchisee-based company that
operates across many areas of India. From its beginnings in Malad, a suburb of Mumbai, it has
spread across the whole Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), as well as
Bangalore, Aurangabad and Gujarat.
Chapter 4:
History Of Jumbo King
Company History Jumbo King began its journey to brand the Vada Pav on 23rd August 2001
with an initial investment of Rs. 200,000. Inspired by western models and applying it to Indian
food, Jumbo King believes that the common man has the constitution alright to get hygienic food
at an affordable price! Jumbo King has been founded by MBA couple from Symbiosis Dheeraj
Gupta and Reeta Gupta. Jumbo King has a team of people spanning the functional areas of
operations, business development, franchisee relations and marketing. Operations looks into
store running, logistics and training. The head office at Jumbo King is called the Support Centre
and the operation team supports the franchisee network and their staff torun the store as per the
guidelines laid down by the franchising system of Jumbo King. The business development team
looks at increasing the number of outlets byen suring a new outlet to be opened as fast as
possible, for which they do a strong survey and ensure that the outlet is in the best possible area.
Franchisee relation shave to be maintained by solving their queries and lending a helping hand
wherever possible. Marketing looks after the media, promotions, branding etc. Jumbo King
celebrates 23rd August as the Vada Pav Day since on that day of 2001it came into existence. The
Journey23rd August 2001 First Outlet was opened. Currently, we have only 38 outlets in
Mumbai and Thane area (20 self-owned and18 franchises). If we compare this numbers with
20,000 Vada Pav sellers then we have only about 2% market share. Vada Pav in Mumbai is a big
business. Whats on Offer? On offer are vadapavs (a potato-based patty in a bun), Pepsi and lassi.
This is fast food Mumbai style. Basically, Jumbo King has four Vada Pav recipes, namely Butter,
Cheese, Grill and Brown Bread. Further we add flavours and offer about 16varieties of Vada Pav.
For instance, butter range offers Butter Jumbo King, Butter Grill Jumbo King, Butter Cholle
Jumbo King. Assignment By Rajat Sharma.
An earlier franchisee of Burger King, the Guptas, on their visit to London, realised that fast food
could also work in India. Vada pav was the their first idea, as the food had to be portable. In 2001
the Guptas opened their first restaurant at Malad, with an initial investment of
200000 (US$3,200), which they borrowed from his family. The outlet was initially
named Chaat Factory (Snack Factory), and vada pav was sold at 5, despite street vendors selling
the same product for 2. The name was later changed to Jumbo King. Gupta faced opposition
from his family, who thought he was wasting his MBA by selling vada pavs.
Grandfather was the real pioneer Migrated to Mumbai from a village close to Haryana in the '40s
Built a business of vending stalls Father and uncles took over and built the restaurant and hotel
business Catering course from the Dadar Catering College and have a management degree from
a Pune institute . Decided to set up his own business, selling packaged Indian sweets in 1998.
Set up a company called Manali Foods.
Vada pav is a popular vegetarian dish native to the Indian state of Maharashtra, although it has
been losing its reputation in past few years. The places where the food is now cooked and sold
are often polluted, and it is considered a "poor man's food". The people of Mumbai
and Thane consume about 18lakh (1.82 million) units of vada pav, with stiff competition
mainly from the unhygienic street vendors in the city. In contrast, Jumbo King cooks and sells
the food in hygienic conditions.
As of 2010, the chain had 30 outlets in Mumbai, selling an average of 40,000 vada pavs
everyday, priced between 8 and 16 apiece.
23rd August 2001 First Outlet was opened. Currently, we have only 38 outlets in Mumbai and
Thane area (20 self-owned and18 franchises). If we compare this numbers with 20,000 Vada Pav
sellers then we have only about 2% market share. Vada Pav in Mumbai is a big business. Whats
on Offer? On offer are vada pavs (a potato-based patty in a bun), Pepsi and lassi. This is fast food
Mumbai style. Basically, Jumbo King has four Vada Pav recipes, namely Butter, Cheese, Grill
and Brown Bread. Further we add flavours and offer about 16varieties of Vada Pav. For instance,
butter range offers Butter Jumbo King, Butter Grill Jumbo King, Butter Cholle Jumbo King.
October 07, 2011 Vada Strategies: Market Penetration & Development: (Market
Development)Distribution through Franchisees- Target to open near to 5000 outlets all over India
in a span of 8-9 years. From one outlet in 1991, Jumbo King reached 45 by early this year. It is
targeting 250 this year, and has already forayed to Gujarat (Ahmedabad & Baroda) from its home
state of Maharashtra andhave chalked out drastic expansion plans in Gujarat and Mumbai.
According to the companys plans, the funds will be used for setting up more owner-operated
outlets (outlets are franchised now), and kiosks within malls, retail chains andair ports. A deal
has been signed with Bharat Petroleum for kiosks at gasoline pumps. And Jumbo King plans to
move inside railway stations; talks are on with Indian Railways for outlets on platforms.
Currently, the franchisee relations team is negotiating for 10-12 locations in Mumbai. Two or
three people can jointly open a franchise store.
Product Innovation: Gupta has changed all the rules by introducing automation, packaging, a
largersize, different cheese, round bread (otherwise the pav is square) and flat patties instead of
round. New recipe would be Paneer Jumbo King. In the coming 2-3 months would be adding
new range of Vada Pav in the menu.
The Idea
Ironically, it wasn't the Mumbai-it's love of the vada pav that initially inspired Dheeraj Gupta.
Though biting into one of the piping-hot treats, consisting of deep fried potato dumpling served
in a lightly-buttered bun, may be elevating, Dheeraj's original inspiration for Jumbo King Vada
Pav was much more prosaic. While visiting London, Dheeraj stayed with a friend who owned a
Burger King franchise. "That's when I saw how their business worked," he says. Dheeraj was
fascinated by the fast food franchise business. "Back in India, I happened to come across a book
about the person who set up McDonald's. It inspired me tremendously and I decided to follow
the same model."But he wanted to give the business an Indian flavor. "Vada pav was the obvious
food choice because Mumbai-ites love it," he says. Vada pavs are one of Mumbai's favorite
roadside fast foods. Dheeraj took his idea further - he was willing to bet that, for snacks they
knew were hygienic, people would pay him more than twice the price than they would pay for a
vada pav from a traditional street stall. So in August 2001, Dheeraj set up an outlet called Chaat
Factory close to Malad station, a suburb in Mumbai. "I wanted to sell hygienic chaats in the
market. But I started with vada pavs only." His success selling this one snack focused his
attention, and he renamed the company Jumbo King Vada Pav.
Backstage food storage maintain kitchen facilities food preparation food purchase delivery pick
food from kitchen. Front stage line of visibility deliver food on counter collection of money take
away parcel.
The Opportunity
It turns out that vada pavs are a young person's food. In fact, a feasibility study performed by
Jumbo King showed that 75%of vada pav purchasers are 16 to 25 years old. Also, surprisingly,
the majority of people purchasing the snack hail from the higher income brackets. At Jumbo
King, Dheeraj and his team are therefore playing into some important trends: more young people
today have money to spend; and at the same time, they are increasingly health- and hygieneconscious, wanting to know that they are receiving good quality food. Jumbo King, explains
Dheeraj, "is riding on this generation."Thousands of street-side vendors still dominate the quick
food market, and placed among these, Jumbo King is distinctly different. "Right from deciding to
use paper to wrap the product in, having processes and systems in place, branding a common
Mumbai-it's food, to running the business like the Western style fast-food giants, we have
constantly innovated, dared and gone against the tide."In one area, Jumbo King maintains a more
traditional outlook - like all retailers, they focus on location, location, location. Today, all Jumbo
outlets are located near railway stations. By combining the elements above, Jumbo King seems
to have come up with a successful "secret sauce". Today the company has 30 outlets in Mumbai,
two in Surat, one in Ahmedabad, one in Baroda and one in Pune.
Implementation
Vada pav was the obvious food choice because Mumbaikars love it.
Borrowed Rs 200,000 from his family & set up an outlet, which the family owned, near Malad
station, a Mumbai suburb, and called it Chaat Factory.
One day when he was standing at the store, two ladies called the store a con, since he was only
selling vada pav.
Thereafter the name JUMBO KING came into existence.
The Money
A loan of Rs. 2 lakhs kick-started the business. Growth has been helped by the fact that the
business can generate quick cash flow: the first Jumbo King outlet at Malad made money from
day one."All the money from the business was ploughed back into buying the second store," says
Dheeraj, who used to take back home a salary of only Rs. 5,000 a month.
Borrowed Rs 500,000 from his brother to start a business
All the money from the business was ploughed back into buying the second store," so
Dheeraj used to take back home a salary of only Rs. 5,000 a month.
He had priced the vada pav at Rs 5 whereas it sold for as little as Rs 2 in the market.
He took a bank loan to open the third store at Andheri (W).
Preparation
Potatoes are mashed & made into patties Coated and mixed with green chilies, ginger and a
tadka (tempering) of mustard seeds and turmeric Balls are then dipped in an herb-seasoned batter
made with gram flour It is deep fried Finished vada is then wrapped in bread and served with
chutney, red chili powder or green chilies.
Branding Strategies
Gupta has changed all the rules by introducing automation, packaging, a larger size, different
cheese, round bread and flat patties instead of round.
He realized the power of hearing and sound. So he started a pseudo radio called Radio Today,
which connects all our food joints.
He hired a hygiene consultant who advises McDonalds and Pizza Hut to maintain hygiene and
quality standards.
Word of Mouth
A young journalist who probably visited his store in Dadar and liked the product. After a good
experience he wrote an article in their daily paper. Thus originally word of mouth definitely
worked for Jumbo King greatly.
Typically in August their sales go up because people wish to come and experience the fun of
celebrating a Vada pav day. He believe that at least one in every ten people knows about the Vada
pav day 23 rd August.
He decided to use paper to wrap the product in.
Achievements
In the last quarter of the year 2001, Jumbo King made a total of Rs 600,000 from just one outlet .
The other outlets opened from 2003.
Today the company has 30 outlets in Mumbai, two in Surat, one in Ahmedabad, one in Baroda
and one in Pune catering to about 40,000 people every day.
Jumbo King seems to have come up with a successful Secret Sauce
Scope
Jumbo King is looking at a turnover of Rs. 18 crores (almost $5 million) and with rapid growth
to a projected turnover of Rs. 60 crores in 2008-09.
Dheeraj and his team feel they would like to bring in investors, but only after they reach the 100
store .
Gupta is looking at franchises across the metropolis. In three to five years time, he wants
Mumbai to have 75 Jumbo King outlets. By next year, he wants to double his current turnover of
over Rs 1 crore (Rs 10 million).
