...SUMMARY Boasting a secret recipe of numerous spices and “finger licking good” chicken meals, KFC was started by Harland Sanders as a tiny restaurant called “Sander’s Court and Café” at a gas station. Now, a more than 11000 restaurants in 85 countries, KFC is the world’s largest chicken fast-food restaurant and one of the top fast-food chains worldwide. It was also one of the first fast food restaurants to go international4 and is popular in many countries. After having gone through many different hands, KFC is now under Yum! Brands Inc together with A&W All-American, Food Restaurants, Long John Silver’s, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell. With a market such as China with a longstanding tradition, KFC executes must realize that they are faced with customers very different from the rest of the world. It cannot distribute the exact same products there as it does in every other part of the world. As they are faced with different markets, KFC must learn to adjust its products accordingly. Like most multinational companies, KFC was first attracted to China by the size of the country’s market potential which is 1.3 billion people, 20% of the world’s total. China is a market with a few thousand years of recorded history, a deeply entrenched culture, and very different from the West. KFC’s decision to pursue a broad and active localization strategy in China began with the assembly of its local leadership team made up of US-educated ethnic Chinese drawn from Taiwan and other parts of...

Asimismo, resaltar que la franquicia, además de otorgarle la licencia para el uso y explotación no exclusiva de su marca o nombre comercial, el franquiciante le transmite al franquiciado una gama de conocimientos y experiencias denominados “Know How”, que le permiten a este último llevar a cabo la operación eficaz del negocio de forma homogénea con métodos comerciales y administrativos probados en diferentes mercados. Por último señalar, que la franquicia es una fórmula que permite la rápida expansión de los negocios y el dominio de los mercados, pero asimismo implica asumir obligaciones y una serie de contraprestaciones económicas con responsabilidad. 1.- Concepto: Entendemos por franquicia un formato de negocios dirigido a la comercialización de bienes y servicios, en la cual una persona natural o jurídica concede a otra por un tiempo determinado el derecho de usar una marca o nombre comercial.

No queda la menor duda de que va a permanecer por muchos años más, no solo en el mercado local sino en el mercado internacional de comida rápida. 2. Análisis del sector La industria de comida rápida en el Perú ha cobrado mucha importancia con el paso de los años y la industria ha crecido en gran magnitud debido a diversos factores; entre ellos, el ritmo de vida cada vez más agitado en el que vivimos quizás sea el más importante, lo cual incentiva a un ahorro de tiempo para poder realizar otro tipo de labores. En el anexo 1 se puede observar la matriz de Porter aplicada al caso Bembos. La competencia directa de Bembos está conformada por las siguientes empresas: Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), Mc Donald's y Burger King. Estas empresas de comida rápida brindan hamburguesas de carne, hamburguesas de pollo, diversos complementos (papas fritas, aros de cebolla, etc.), ensaladas, postres, entre otros productos. A pesar de la fuerte competencia, Bembos ha sabido diferenciarse de estas empresas resaltando el concepto de peruanidad e...

...La guerra de las colas continua: Coca Cola y Pepsi en el 2010. Por más de un siglo, Coca Cola y Pepsi compiten por la “participación de gargantas” en el mercado mundial de los bebestibles. Las batallas más intensas en la llamada guerra de las colas fueron luchadas por la industria de las bebidas carbonatadas de USA de más de U$ 74 billones. En una “lucha de competencia cuidadosamente librada” que duró desde 1975 hasta mediados de la década de los 90, Coca Cola y Pepsi alcanzaron un crecimiento anual promedio del 10%, mientras en USA y en el resto del mundo el consumo de bebidas carbonatadas se mantuvo estable año tras año. De acuerdo a Roger Enrico, antiguo CEO de Pepsi: La guerra debe ser percibida como una batalla continua sin sangre. Sin Coca Cola, Pepsi tendría dificultades para ser un competidor original y enérgico. Mientras más exitosos son ellos, más ingeniosos tenemos que ser nosotros. Si la compañía Coca Cola no existiera, estaríamos rezando porque alguien la inventara. Y, al otro lado de la valla, estoy seguro que la gente de Coca Cola dirá que nada contribuye al éxito actual de Coca Cola como…Pepsi. Sin embargo, esa relación comenzó a desgastarse a comienzos del 2000, a medida que el consumo per cápita de bebidas carbonatadas en USA comenzó a decaer. Para 2009, el americano promedio bebía 46 galones de CSD (bebidas carbonatadas) por año, el nivel más bajo de consumo desde 1989. Al mismo tiempo, ambas compañías experimentaron sus altos y bajos; Coca Cola sufrió varios...

Do they compete with each other? Why? Why not? En mi punto de opinión personal considero que estas franquicias son de comida rápida mas no son competencia entre ellas, ya que cada quien tiene sus segmento de mercado diferente; cada restaurante ofrece menus diferente para gustos y antojos diferentes. Por ejemplo , los alimentos de Taco Bell se hacen específicamente con los productos que inspiran la cultura mexicana y no ofrece productos de KFC , Pizza Hut o A & W . La característica que los une es ofrecer el servicio de alimentos con métodos que den como resultado la rapidez y eficacia. YUM brands tiene su emporio de comida rápido. 2. What are the advantages of YUM’s multibranding strategy? Disadvantages? La ventaja de la estrategia de Yums Brands es que no compiten entre sí. Conducen un buen crecimiento global.

...Kentucky Fried Chicken and the Global Fast-Food Industry Case Analysis 1.0 Source Problem The change in demographic trends in the past two decades has seen an overall increase in costs for KFC and other fast food chains. Due to immense price competition and saturation of the US market, KFC is unable to raise its prices to cover the increased costs. The slower US population growth rate, oversupply of fast food chains and the minuscule 1% growth in the US restaurant industry per year has resulted in KFC¡¦s focus on expansion of their international markets. 2.0 Secondary Problems 2.1 Short Term - New product introductions are slow. - Market research inefficiency. Eg. Germans were not accustomed to buying takeout or ordering over the counter. McDonalds performed better in this aspect. - Crispy strips and chicken sandwiches cannibalized the fried chicken sales. 2.2 Long Term - Differences between the PepsiCo and KFC corporate strategy and culture. - PepsiCo/KFC poor relationship with franchisees. - Increased competition from direct and indirect competitors. - Reduction in market share in the US market. - Risks involved in international operations: long distances made it difficult to control quality and service, increased transportation and other resource costs, and time, culture and language differences increased communication and operational problems. - Fast food sales grew at a slower rate (5%) in comparison to other sectors in the restaurant industry. ...

...Prepared for: Kentucky Fried Chicken Prepared by: Meaghan Jordan Date: 13 May 2010 ------------------------------------------------- CCT 667: Contemporary Corporate Communications ------------------------------------------------- Professor A. Hoffman I. Executive Summary As outside council to Kentucky Fried Chicken, a Yum! Brands company, I was asked to consult on the branding crisis plaguing the popular fast food chains in the United States market. The public identity of Kentucky Fried Chicken has been on shaky ground for the past five years. The inconsistent branding and products have caused market share values and annual revenues to consistently decrease. The primary constituent, the consuming public, has been left to decipher the mixed messages presented by the Kentucky Fried Chicken brand. Through the implementation of a three-phase strategy, Kentucky Fried Chicken will be able to reestablish itself as a profitable leader in the fast food chicken industry. The design of a logo and company name, in conjunction with a healthy menu that properly embodies the meaning of the brand will be the key to a clear identity. The final piece of the equation requires a comprehensive, nationwide advertising plan to re-launch the contemporary and comprehensible identity of the Kentucky Fried Chicken brand. II. The Company The American fast food chain Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) was a family run business, founded in 1930 by Harland Sanders in Corbin, Kentucky. The Sanders...

There are issues that an organisation face and one of the organisations which faces major issue is the Kentucky Fried Chicken. Firstly, KFC provide greasy unhealthy food. The growing and bustling population of today is obviously different from the population of the previous decades in terms of health and nutritional attitudes and behaviours. People today are more concerned with their health and figures than ever before. Obviously, the reason for this increased awareness is because of the fact that information is everywhere and every reports and research about nutrition seem to link fast foods with the growing number of obesity.

...Assignment III – Case Study Sanders, Colonel Harland Eslam Badawy/1617946 Introduction On September 9, 1890, Harland Sanders, known as The Colonel, was born in, Indiana, USA. He is the founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken, now “KFC” restaurant chain. His success, like most great entrepreneurs, centred around the values of hard work, honesty, loyalty, recognition, giving back, and most of all, passion.

In 2011 KFC earned an estimated $9.2 billion in sales revenue. The Colonel passed away on December 16, 1980 at the age of 90. We lost a great leader, a great visionary, an American success story. Despite his death in 1980, Sanders remains the key symbol of the company in its advertising and branding. Colonel Sanders was an early pioneer of the restaurant franchising concept (KFC, 2011). The story of the entrepreneur The Colonel briefly telling his story: My business philosophy crystallized back when I got fired from the first job when I was ten. My Father died when he was 29. I was hired by a farmer two miles cross country from where I lived. I was paid two dollars a month plus board. At the end of the first month I got fired. I went home, gave Mama my two dollars and I told her what had happened. My mother gave me the tongue-lashing. The only way, she said, I could get work and hang onto is by giving the best there is in me. Since...

KFC has been a brand and operating segment, termed a concept of Yum! Brands since 1997 when that company was spun off from PepsiCo as Tricon Global Restaurants Inc.

Although Sanders died in 1980, he remains an important part of the company's branding and advertisements, and "Colonel Sanders" or "The Colonel" is a metonym for the company itself. The company adopted KFC, an abbreviated form of its name, in 1991. Starting in April 2007, the company began using its original name, Kentucky Fried Chicken, for its signage, packaging and advertisements in the U.S. as part of a new corporate re-branding program; newer and remodeled restaurants will have the new logo and name while older stores will continue to use the 1980s signage.
