...Executive Summary Industry and macro-environmental analyses of the international restaurant industry provides an overview of the industry and reveals the conditions that impact competitiveness and profitability of the industry’s players. The industry is split in two sectors: full-service restaurants (FSR) and limited-service restaurants (LSR). FSRs typically have a wait-staff; LSRs do not have wait-staff. The top five countries, in terms of total number of foodservice outlets, are: China, India, Brazil, Japan, and the US. The industry is of low concentration. Combined, the top industry players make up less than 3% of total global industry revenues. In terms of size, 2013 global sales were $2.6T, up 4.9%. The 2013 global labor force was 62.4M employees, up 2.4%. In accordance with Porter’s Five Forces framework, the forces that shape competition in the restaurant industry have a moderate to high impact on competitiveness. There is a moderate threat of new entrants and a high threat of substitutes. Buyers have a high degree of bargaining power and suppliers have a moderate degree of bargaining power. The restaurant industry is highly competitive and experiences intense rivalry. In terms of macro-environmental factors, emerging markets around the world over are having an impact on how restaurants execute strategy both domestically and abroad. The growth of the middle class in emerging markets, such as China and India, presents a new demographic and an opportunity...

...Krispy Kreme Case Study FINA 470-01 Strategic Financial Management Company Overview: Krispy Kreme is a retailer and wholesaler of “high quality doughnuts and packaged sweets” (2010 10-K report) as well as various beverages. Krispy Kreme consists of stores and franchises that include domestic and international franchises, company stores and the KK Supply Chain. Krispy Kreme is also the sole provider to all their stores and franchises of the ingredients and equipment needed for store operations via the KK Supply Chain. Notably, neither equipment nor ingredients can be purchased from any other vendor and thus the franchises/stores are completely dependent upon Krispy Kreme. Vernon Rudolph acquired the Krispy Kreme recipe from a New Orleans chef and moved to Nashville and opened his own doughnut shop in 1937. Initially selling to grocery stores, he ended up cutting a hole in the building to sell to passersby who inquired about buying hot donuts directly from the bakery. Mr. Rudolph patented Krispy Kreme in 1939. Family members joined the bakery to help Rudolph meet rising demand for his doughnuts. Rudolph invented and built all his donut making equipment. To date, the company still uses only company made equipment. Other stores started popping up around the south in the 1950s and 1960s as the company quickly expanded. Rudolph died in 1973 and as the company began to flounder, it was sold to Beatrice Foods in 1976. Original franchisees repurchased the company...

...Fiscal Year 2011 Annual Financial Report And Shareholder Letter January 2012 Dear Shareholders, Fiscal 2011 was a year of great accomplishment for The Walt Disney Company, marked by creativity and innovation across our businesses globally, record financial results and numerous important steps to position the Company for the future. While 2011 brought us so much to cheer about, it was also marked by profound loss, with the passing of Steve Jobs. Steve’s incredible stewardship of Pixar, and his decision to sell Pixar to Disney in 2006, brought Steve into the Disney family, as a board member, a shareholder, a mentor, and a friend, and we were so lucky for all that he represented and all that he contributed. Disney, ESPN, ABC, Pixar, and Marvel are an amazing collection of brands that grow stronger every day as new platforms and new markets provide enormous new opportunities for high quality content and experiences. To that end, we are fortunate to have a talented group of employees who are committed day in and day out to building our brands around the world. Since becoming President and CEO in 2005, I have focused on three strategic priorities: creating high-quality family content, making experiences more memorable and accessible through innovative technology, and growing internationally. In fiscal 2011, net income attributable to Disney was a record $4.8 billion, an increase of 21% over last year, and revenue was a record $40.9 billion, up 7% from last year. Diluted earnings...
