...Introduction KFC, which has full name as Kentucky Fried Chicken, is one of well-known fast food brand names in the world due to their effective marketing strategies. To create good marketing strategies, KFC needs to understand the market by conducting a market research and collecting information about micro and macro environment. Therefore, they can influence factors in the micro environment and respond to potential macro environmental factors that can affect to them within next 12 months in Australia. This report focuses on marketing concepts which explain micro and macro environment. These key marketing concepts will be analysed and explain how KFC applied into their strategies. This report is based on academic resources such as marketing lecture notes of Insearch, text books of Philip Kotlers and academic online resources. II - Micro Environment Micro environment is examined as an environment in which the company can indirectly influence such as customers, partners, competitors and industry. For each factor, the company need to have suitable strategies to affect. 1. Customers Under marketing concepts of Philip Kotler (Marketing Management, Defining marketing for the 21st century, Philip Kotler), customers are determined as people who purchase product and they may or may not use that product for themselves. Besides, Kotler states that customers are centred instead of products. The company need to meet their customers’ needs, wants or demands. In this case study, KFC applied...

...Branding and Consumer behavior of McDonalds and KFC Introduction and Background to the research The UK fast-food market is worth an estimated £7.82 billion annually (Keynote, 2003), amounting to an average expense of £20/month per adult (McDonald, 2003). Due to busier consumer lifestyles and dual-working families with children, emphasis is increasingly being placed on quick meal solutions (Atkins and Bowler, 2001). This has resulted in a market growth of 19 per cent in fast food since 1998 (Keynote, 2003). UK consumers tend to regard convenience and wholesomeness as polar opposites, rather than a complementary type of food value (Jack et al., 1998). The factor of choice is characteristically broad in UK, owing to the willingness of the British to adapt to new styles of eating and drinking from all over the world. Portuguese chicken, Japanese sushi and Spanish tapas have joined the more traditional curry houses and French or Italian restaurants found in most British towns. However, the most traditional British venue - the local pub or hotel - still has the highest sector share of formal, sit-down restaurant meals. These results do not include the fast food such as burgers and fried chicken. On the other hand, other distinct concepts include pizza, curry and roadside restaurants. Background of KFC and McDonalds McDonalds is the world’s largest chain of hamburger fast food restaurants, serving more than 58 million customers daily. McDonald’s headquarters is located in Oak Brook...

...There have been many unlikely partnerships in the past like the Coyote and the Badger, Newt Gingrich and Nancy Pelosi on Global Warming, and now Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) and the Susan G. Komen (SGK) for the Cure organization. This partnership between KFC and SGK has not been without controversy even though it has raised more than $4.2 Million for the cause, the single largest donation in the organization’s history. Throughout this experimental assignment, I will analyze the qualitative data posted on the various blog sites and will give the reader a better consumer perception of the alliance through the eyes of the survivors and patients of breast cancer as well as the Non-breast cancer patients and survivors. I will compare and contrast these perceptions and how they relate to cause-related marketing, cause-brand failure, and decision-making. The previously stated objectives will be covered by exploring the topics of “Pinkwashing”, Brand Implications, and Conflicting views on Association as they relate to this alliance and its qualitative analysis. “Pink-Washing” What is “pinkwashing”? Before exploring this topic, it is relevant to discuss the origin of this word when attempting to better understand it. “Pinkwashing” is a pejorative term derived from “greenwashing” and shares similarities. “Greenwashing” was coined by environmental activists to describe efforts by corporations to portray themselves as environmentally responsible in order to mask environmental...

...INTRODUCTION This project puts in perspective the multinational company called Yum!Brands, which is an American company in the fast-food industry. We will be discussing about some aspects of this company generally, but we intend to give more details on the company Kentucky Fried Chicken(KFC) which is one of the Strategic Business Units (SBU) of Yum!Brands. We will give the profile of Yum!Brands and KFC, and also analyze the strategy of the company, its internal and external environment, its position vis-à-vis its competitors, its competitive advantage and how far it has come/how well it is doing today. We intend to focus on one local market, so in this project we are taking KFC China as our case study. We decided to choose Yum!Brands and specifically KFC as our project case study because we have noticed the rapid growth of the fast-food industry. Fast-food is a typical American trend which reflects the American eating culture of “grabbing a quick bite” so to speak. Today people are very busy, not only in America but all over the world. People have less time to sit and eat a home cooked meal, especially at lunch time when almost everyone is out of the house and working. The most convenient thing to do is to go for a “fast-food”. We noticed that this trend has even moved from being just a lunch-time substitute for home cooked meals to being a fun time meal between friends, colleagues and family. Some corporate bodies even order fast-food for meetings or corporate get-togethers...

...Hoi Shan Wu Prof. Dennis Lee Doing Business in China 16 May 2017 KFC in China As China develops the pace of life has gotten quicker. The Chinese people’s demand for fast food service with good hygiene has grown due to fit their busier lifestyle. An analyst from China Venture Group, Wan GE, said that fast-food has become the first choice for 85% of Chinese city residents when eating out. (Hu and Chen) The fast-food industry in China is fast growing with an 11.6% growth from 2010 to 2015. (Fast-Food Restaurants in China: Market Research Report) Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) a subsidiary of YUM! Brands, was the first quick-service restaurant (QSR) to enter China in 1987, and remains China’s number one QSR today with more than 5000 restaurants in over 1100 cities. (Yum! Restaurants in China) KFC started as a joint venture company; 60% stake held by KFC, 27% by the Beijing Tourist Bureau and 13% by Beijing Food Production. In 1988, Bank of China bought 25% of the venture, diluting KFC to 51% of shares. The first KFC was opened in Beijing, Qianmen, five minutes away from Tiananmen square. (Qingfen) When KFC first entered China, it was a great success. It was an eye-opener into American cuisine and culture. Chinese consumers had the perception that anything from the west is the best; since KFC is from the west it was the best. Chicken is the second preference of meat followed by pork in China. Naturally Chinese customers loved KFC’s fried chicken not only because of the product...
