LIMITATION OF STUDY
Certain limitations are inherent with this project work. 100% response rate
was not found from the respondents. Some extent of biasness was found
because of Brand loyalty while answering the questions. Lack of interest of the
respondent was one of the major problems. The Geographic extent of this
study was limited to the Delhi and NCR market only. The time duration of the
project acted as another impediment and so the size of the survey was limited
to 100 respondents only.
COMPANY PROFILE
Is the world's leading food service retailer with more than 30,000 restaurants in
118 countries serving 46 million customers each day!
MC DONALD’S INDIA
In some cases, these Indian suppliers had the technology - but no market for
the products they produced. For example, Dynamic Dairies -- through its
relationship with McDonald’s was introduced to a large customer of milk
casein and other milk derivatives. The two companies entered into a business
relationship resulting in an initial export order of approximately US $ 12 million
per year.
COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP
McDonald’s believes in giving back to the communities it serves. Wherever
McDonald’s goes it becomes a part of the community it operates in and
contributes towards the development of the locality. For example, McDonald’s
has introduced the concept of ‘Litter Patrol’ - McDonalds’s employees go
around the immediate vicinity of the restaurant every day, packing up garbage
left behind not only by customers from McDonald’s restaurants but also by
other visitors to the area. The result is a cleaner neighborhood.
QUALITY, SERVICE, CLEANLINESS AND VALUE
The McDonald’s philosophy of QSC & V is the guiding force behind its service
to the customers. McDonald’s India serves only the highest quality products.
All McDonald’s suppliers adhere to Indian government regulations on food,
health and hygiene while continuously maintaining McDonald’s own
recognized standards. All McDonald’s products are prepared using the most
current, state-of-the-art cooking equipment to ensure quality and safety.
At McDonald’s the customer always comes first. McDonald’s India provides
fast and friendly service - the hallmark of McDonald’s which sets its restaurants
apart from others.
McDonald’s restaurants provide a clean, comfortable environment especially
suited for families. This is achieved through McDonald’s stringent cleaning
standards, carefully adhered to. McDonald’s menu is priced at a value that the
largest segment of Indian consumers can afford. McDonald’s does not sacrifice
quality for price - rather McDonald’s leverages economies of scale to minimize
costs while maximizing value to customers.
A taste of freshness from all over India Did you know that every year, Rs.
50,000 Crore worth of food produce is wasted in India? This is mainly because
of the lack of proper infrastructure for storage and transportation under
controlled conditions. McDonald's is committed to providing quality products
while supporting other Indian businesses. And so, McDonald's spent a few
years setting up a unique Cold Chain. The cold chain is necessary to maintain
the integrity of food products and retain their freshness and nutritional value.
It refers to the procurement, warehousing, transportation and retailing of food
products under controlled temperatures. Setting up the cold chain has
involved the transfer of state-of-the-art food processing technology by
McDonald’s and its international suppliers to pioneering Indian entrepreneurs,
who have now become an integral part of the cold chain.
LITERATURE REVIEW
By Vignali, 2001:
McDonald’s established positive aspects had been dual folded. Firstly, its
supplier connections were significant. McDonald’s acted in a flagship
competence for a good networking with providers of intermediary
productivity. Secondly, McDonald had accumulated positive consistency in its
supply and distribution process, which was significant to customer loyalty in its
fast food chain business.
Porter also suggests two behaviours such as cost control and differentiation.
McDonald can use any one of such methods in attaining competitive advantage
over their rivals. Along with it the companies has to update itself with current
situation of the market and rival businesses in order to maintain its competitive
position into the market (Porter, 1985).
Baker (2000), also states that the competitive advantage is concerned with
vision of the organisation and the kind of management it involved in. He also
thinks that vision is vital for keeping updated about the variations and makes
changes if required and leadership skills for motivating the companies to fulfil
and attain the targeted goals of the organisation.
Fast Food chains in United Kingdom is evaluated more than £ 6 billion with
major targeted segment of younger audiences. The standard of living of the
United Kingdom is enabling growth in the fast food chain business. According
to younger audience fast food chains are more suitable choice for meals because
of its price, quality and service value (Keynote, 2003). According to Schlosser
2001, the expenditure on fast food products is much higher in United Kingdom
as compared to other countries over the Europe. Veseth (2005), further states
that the major reason of progressive performance of McDonalds is based on its
brand value that it created and maintained in its entire period of product and
service performance.
