A business strategy is the combination of all the decisions taken and actions
performed by the business to accomplish business goals and to secure a
competitive position in the market.
It is the backbone of the business as it is the roadmap which leads to the desired
goals. Any fault in this roadmap can result in the business getting lost in the crowd
of overwhelming competitors.
1. Creates Synergy
A joint venture is entered between two or more parties to extract the qualities of
each other. One company may possess a special characteristic which another
company might lack with. Similarly, the other company has some advantage which
another company cannot achieve. These two companies can enter into a joint
venture to generate synergies between them for a greater good. These companies
can work on economies of large scale to give cost advantage.
1. Economies of Scale
Joint Venture helps the organizations to scale up with their limited capacity. The
strength of one organization can be utilized by the other. This gives the competitive
advantage to both the organizations to generate economies of scalability.
At the same time, the Indian company has the advantage to access the markets of
the United States which is geographically scattered and has good paying capacity
where the quality of the product is not compromised. Unique Indian products have
big markets across the globe.
3. Innovation
Joint ventures give an added advantage to upgrading the products and services with
respect to technology. Marketing can be done with various innovative platforms
and technological up gradation helps in making good products at efficient cost.
International companies can come up with new ideas and technology to reduce cost
and provide better quality products.
4. Low Cost of Production
When two or more companies join hands together, the main motive is to provide
the products at a most efficient price. And this can be done when the cost of
production can be reduced or cost of services can be managed. A genuine joint
venture aims at this only to provide best products and services to its consumers.
5. Brand Name
A separate brand name can be created for the Joint Venture. This helps in giving a
distinctive look and recognition to the brand. When two parties enter into a joint
venture, then goodwill of one company which is already established in the market
can be utilized by another organization for gaining a competitive advantage over
other players in the market.
For example, a big brand of Europe enters into a joint venture with an Indian
company will give a synergic advantage as the brand is already established across
the globe.
6. Access to Technology
Technology is an attractive reason for organizations to enter into a joint venture.
Advanced technology with one organization to produce superior quality of products
saves a lot of time, energy, and resources. Without the further investment of huge
amount again to create a technology which is already in existence, the access to
same technology can be done only when companies enter into joint venture and
give a competitive advantage.
Example of Indian company which have adopted apart of growth and expansion
through conglomerate diversification the classic examples is of ITC, a cigarette
company diversifying into the hotel industry.
Barrier to entry is a high cost or other type of barrier that prevents a business
startup from entering a market and competing with other businesses. Barriers to
entry can include government regulations, the need for licenses, and having to
compete with a large corporation as a small business startup.
Some businesses want there to be high barriers to entry in their market because
they want to limit competition or hold on to their place at the top. Therefore, they
will try to maintain their competitive advantage any way they can, which can
make entry even more difficult for new businesses. They might do something like
spend an excessive amount of money on advertising (in other words, on product
differentiation), because they have it and they can, and any new entrant would
not be able to do that, giving them a significant disadvantage.
Example:
While a procedure describes the process of getting the work done or achieving a
goal. Procedures are described in training materials, such as guides, handbooks,
checklists, on-the-job training memos, etc. Procedures are normally instructions
to employees describing exactly how to implement policies or programs by
stating precise steps that need to be followed. A heat illness policy states that a
manager must provide shade for employees, and a procedure would state exactly
how that shade is provided.
12. What is Adaptive mode?
With the adaptive approach, the degree of innovation fostered by the strategic
management process is likely to depend on the ability of managers to agree on at
least some major goals and basic strategies that set essential directions. In
addition, lower-level managers must have some flexibility in carrying out the
basic strategy rather than being given extremely detailed plans to follow; this
approach might be effective in a more stable environment or one in which
agreement among coalitions is easy to obtain. Without at least some agreement
among high-level managers on major goals and directions, however the adaptive
mode may be ineffective in moving the organization in viable strategic directions.
13. Describe the Social Responsibility of business.
Business enterprises exist to satisfy needs of the society. It is the society that
provides them the inputs and serves as the market for their produce. In other
words, all business enterprises are dependent on the society. Therefore they
should ensure that they keep the interest of the society as their most important
consideration in all their decisions and actions. The basic requisites expected in
this regard are trust, honesty, integrity, transparency and compliance with the
laws of the land. The concept of social responsibility has been in practice in India
for over several decades.
Strategic Business Unit or SBU is understood as a business unit within the overall
corporate identity which is distinguishable from other business because it serves
a defined external market where management can conduct strategic planning in
relation to products and markets. The unique small business unit benefits that a
firm aggressively promotes in a consistent manner. When companies become
really large, they are best thought of as being composed of a number of businesses
(or SBUs).
Following are the needs of SBUs:
1) To ensure that each product or product line of the hundreds offered by the
company would receive the same attention as if it were developed, produced and
marketed by an independent company.
2) To provide assurance that a product will not get lost among other products
(usually those with larger sales & profits) in a large company.
3) SBU's makes the organization in organized form. The first principle of time
management is to get organized. Similarly, one of the first things an owner got to
do is to see his organization clearly.
5) Dividing products into SBU's helps you stay in touch of the market separately
for each and every product. Thus a marketing manager/sales manager may be
assigned one product at a time and will be responsible for that product itself.
Thereby he may give valuable contribution in maintaining the STP of a product
in the target market.
6) SBUs propogates the correct decision making. The decisions can be at the
micro level (managing STP, strategies) or it can be at the macro level
7) By micro managing each and every product and dividing it into SBU's, an
owner can obtain a holistic view of the organization. This view is also used in
preparing the financial statements as well as to keep tabs on the investments and
returns for the organization from each SBU. Thus the overall profitability of the
firm can be decided.
Tactics are the concrete things you’re going to do to achieve the goals you set
out in your strategy. They’re the specific plans and resources that you will use
to achieve your goals. Your tactics include your marketing and sales plan, the
team who will execute your plans, and any other partners and resources you
may need along the way.
Tactics are the activities that take place to achieve the strategy, allowing the
strategic plan to progress from milestone to milestone.
A good tactic has a clear purpose that aids your strategy. It has a finite timeline
during which specific activities will be completed and their impacts measured.
Ans. The social environment refers to the immediate physical and social setting
in which people live or in which something happens or develops. The social
environment consists of the sum total of a society's beliefs, customs, practices
and behaviours. It is, to a large extent, an artificial construct that can be contrasted
with the natural environment in which we live. It includes the culture that the
individual was educated or lives in, and the people and institutions with whom
they interact. The interaction may be in person or through communication media,
even anonymous or one-way, and may not imply equality of social status.
Therefore, the social environment is a broader concept than that of social class or
social circle.
Policies are a mode of thought and the principles underlying the activities of an
organization or an institution.
The seven points below outline the major responsibilities of the board of
directors.
1) Recruit, supervise, retain, evaluate and compensate the manager. Recruiting,
supervising, retaining, evaluating and compensating the CEO or general manager
are probably the most important functions of the board of directors
2) Provide direction for the organization. The board has a strategic function in
providing the vision, mission and goals of the organization. These are often
determined in combination with the CEO or general manager of the business.
3) Establish a policy based governance system. The board has the responsibility
of developing a governance system for the business. The articles of governance
provide a framework but the board develops a series of policies. This refers to the
board as a group and focuses on defining the rules of the group and how it will
function. In a sense, it’s no different than a club. The rules that the board
establishes for the company should be policy based.
4) Govern the organization and the relationship with the CEO. Another
responsibility of the board is to develop a governance system. The governance
system involves how the board interacts with the general manager or CEO.
Periodically the board interacts with the CEO during meetings of the board of
directors.
5) Fiduciary duty to protect the organization’s assets and member’s investment.
The board has a fiduciary responsibility to represent and protect the
member’s/investor’s interest in the company. So the board has to make sure the
assets of the company are kept in good order.
6) Monitor and control function. The board of directors has a monitoring and
control function. The board is in charge of the auditing process and hires the
auditor. It is in charge of making sure the audit is done in a timely manner each
year.
25. What is SWOT analysis? Explain in detail.
You can use SWOT Analysis to make the most of what you've got, to your
organization's best advantage. And you can reduce the chances of failure, by
understanding what you're lacking, and eliminating hazards that would otherwise
catch you unawares.
Strengths
Strengths are things that your organization does particularly well, or in a way that
distinguishes you from your competitors. Think about the advantages your
organization has over other organizations. These might be the motivation of your
staff, access to certain materials, or a strong set of manufacturing processes.
Weaknesses
Opportunities
Threats
Threats include anything that can negatively affect your business from the
outside, such as supply chain problems, shifts in market requirements, or a
shortage of recruits.
How to Use a SWOT Analysis
Once you've examined all four aspects of SWOT, you'll likely be faced with a
long list of potential actions to take. You'll want to build on your strengths, boost
your weaker areas, head off any threats, and exploit every opportunity.
37. Explain the Porter‘s Five Forces Model to analyze competitive forces in
an industry environment.
Porter's Five Forces is a model that identifies and analyzes five competitive forces
that shape every industry and helps determine an industry's weaknesses and
strengths. Five Forces analysis is frequently used to identify an industry's
structure to determine corporate strategy. Porter's model can be applied to any
segment of the economy to understand the level of competition within the
industry and enhance a company's long-term profitability. The Five Forces model
is named after Harvard Business School professor, Michael E. Porter.
Porter's five forces are:
1. Competition in the industry
2. Potential of new entrants into the industry
3. Power of suppliers
4. Power of customers
5. Threat of substitute products
39. What are the 3 forms of diversification? State the means and mode of
diversification?
There are three types of diversification techniques:
1. Concentric diversification
Concentric diversification involves adding similar products or services to the
existing business. For example, when a computer company that primarily
produces desktop computers starts manufacturing laptops, it is pursuing a
concentric diversification strategy.
2. Horizontal diversification
Horizontal diversification involves providing new and unrelated products or
services to existing consumers. For example, a notebook manufacturer that enters
the pen market is pursuing a horizontal diversification strategy.
3. Conglomerate diversification
Conglomerate diversification involves adding new products or services that are
significantly unrelated and with no technological or commercial similarities. For
example, if a computer company decides to produce notebooks, the company is
pursuing a conglomerate diversification strategy.
Grand strategy or high strategy is the long-term strategy pursued at the highest
levels by a nation to further its interests. Issues of grand strategy typically include
the choice of primary versus secondary theaters in war, distribution of resources
among the various services, the general types of armaments manufacturing to
favor, and which international alliances best suit national goals. With
considerable overlap with foreign policy, grand strategy focuses primarily on the
military implications of policy. A country's political leadership typically directs
grand strategy with input from the most senior military officials. Development of
a nation's grand strategy may extend across many years or even multiple
generations.
The concept of grand strategy has been extended to describe multi-tiered
strategies in general, including strategic thinking at the level of corporations and
political parties. In business, a grand strategy is a general term for a broad
statement of strategic action. A grand strategy states the means that will be used
to achieve long-term objectives. Examples of business grand strategies that can
be customized for a specific firm include: market concentration, market
development, product development, innovation, horizontal integration,
divestiture.
Turnaround
The term ‘turnaround’ refers to the measures which reverse the negative trends in
the performance indicators of the company. It refers to the management measures
which turn a sick company back to a healthy one or those measures which reverse
the deteriorating trends of performance indicators such as falling market share,
falling sales, decreasing profitability, increase in costs, worsening debt equity
ratio, getting negative cash flow, severe working capital problems etc. The
strategies adopted to come out of crisis vary from case to case and from company
to company.
Divestiture
In divestitures, the company who has acquired assets and divisions will make an
examination to determine whether the assets or divisions fit into overall corporate
strategy in value maximization. If it does not serve the purpose, such assets or
divisions are hived-off.
Selling a division or part of an organization is called ‘divestiture’. It is often used
to raise capital for further strategic acquisitions or investments. It is also used rid
business units that are unprofitable.
Liquidation:
A business may go into decline when losses are made over several years. The
losses are setoff against past profits retained in the business (reserves), but clearly
the situation cannot continue for very long. In such case liquidation may be
imminent.
In case of technological obsolescence, lack of market for the company’s products,
financial losses, cash shortages, lack of managerial skills, the owners may decide
to liquidate the business to stop further aggravation of losses. With a strategic
motive also, a business unit may be liquidated. This strategic option is exercised
in a situation where the firm finds the business as unattractive to revive the firm.
42) Strategic intent
Delivering strategy is enabled through the use of projects, programmes and
portfolios. Portfolios structure investments in line with strategic objectives,
whilst balancing, aligning and scrutinising capacity and resources.
44) Explain Michael porters five forces model along with 3 generic
strategies?
These three approaches are examples of "generic strategies," because they can be
applied to products or services in all industries, and to organizations of all sizes.
They were first set out by Michael Porter in 1985 in his book, "Competitive
Advantage: Creating and Sustaining Superior Performance."
Porter called the generic strategies "Cost Leadership" (no frills), "Differentiation"
(creating uniquely desirable products and services) and "Focus" (offering a
specialized service in a niche market). He then subdivided the Focus strategy into
two parts: "Cost Focus" and "Differentiation Focus." These are shown in figure 1
below.
The Cost Leadership Strategy
Companies that use Focus strategies concentrate on particular niche markets and,
by understanding the dynamics of that market and the unique needs of customers
within it, develop uniquely low-cost or well-specified products for the market.
Because they serve customers in their market uniquely well, they tend to build
strong brand loyalty amongst their customers. This makes their particular market
segment less attractive to competitors.
As with broad market strategies, it is still essential to decide whether you will
pursue Cost Leadership or Differentiation once you have selected a Focus
strategy as your main approach: Focus is not normally enough on its own.
OR
1. Cost Leadership
In cost leadership, a firm sets out to become the low cost producer in its industry.
The sources of cost advantage are varied and depend on the structure of the
industry. They may include the pursuit of economies of scale, proprietary
technology, preferential access to raw materials and other factors. A low cost
producer must find and exploit all sources of cost advantage. if a firm can achieve
and sustain overall cost leadership, then it will be an above average performer in
its industry, provided it can command prices at or near the industry average.
2. Differentiation
In a differentiation strategy a firm seeks to be unique in its industry along some
dimensions that are widely valued by buyers. It selects one or more attributes that
many buyers in an industry perceive as important, and uniquely positions itself to
meet those needs. It is rewarded for its uniqueness with a premium price.
3. Focus
The generic strategy of focus rests on the choice of a narrow competitive scope
within an industry. The focuser selects a segment or group of segments in the
industry and tailors its strategy to serving them to the exclusion of others.
Typically, corporate strategists screen candidate companies using such criteria as:
Whether the business can meet corporate targets for profitability and return
on investment.
Whether the new business will require substantial infusions of capital to
replace fixed assets, fund expansion, and provide working capital.
Whether the business is in industry with significant growth potential.
Whether the business is big enough to contribute significantly to the parent
firm’s bottom line.
The potential for union difficulties or adverse government regulations
concerning product safety or the environment.
Industry vulnerability to recession, inflation, high interest rates, or shifts in
government policy.
Three types of companies make particularly attractive acquisition targets:
Answer: Mergers and acquisitions, or M&A for short, involves the process of
combining two companies into one. The goal of combining two or more
businesses is to try and achieve synergy – where the whole (new company) is
greater than the sum of its parts (the former two separate entities). Mergers occur
when two companies join forces. Such transactions typically happen between two
businesses that are about the same size and which recognize advantages the other
offers in terms of increasing sales, efficiencies, and capabilities. The terms of the
merger are often fairly friendly and mutually agreed to and the two companies
become equal partners in the new venture. Acquisitions occur when one company
buys another company and folds it into its operations. Sometimes the purchase is
friendly and sometimes it is hostile, depending on whether the company being
acquired believes it is better off as an operating unit of a larger venture. The end
result of both processes is the same, but the relationship between the two
companies differs based on whether a merger or acquisition occurred.
Some of the benefits of M&A deals have to do with efficiencies and others have
to do with capabilities, such as:
M&A is a growth strategy corporations often use to quickly increase its size,
service area, talent pool, customer base, and resources in one fell swoop. The
process is costly, however, so the businesses need to be sure the advantage to be
gained is substantial.
Answer: The BCG Matrix (Growth-Share Matrix) was created in the late 1960s
by the founder of the Boston Consulting Group, Bruce Henderson, as a tool to
help his clients with efficient allocation of resources among different business
units. It has since been used as a portfolio planning and analysis tool for
marketing, brand management and strategy development. In order to ensure
successful long-term operation, every business organization should have a
portfolio of products/services rather than just one product or service. This
portfolio should contain both high-growth and low-growth products/services.
High-growth products have the potential to generate lots of cash but also require
substantial amounts of investment. Low-growth products with high market share,
on the other hand, generate lots of cash while needing minimal investment.
How it Works?
1. Identify major organizational business units (BUs) and identify RMS and MGR
for each BU
3. Classify the BUs as Question Marks, Stars, Cash Cows and Dogs
4. Develop strategies for each BU based on their position and movement trends
within the matrix.
Strengths of the BCG Model:
The BCG Matrix allows for a visual presentation of the competitive position of
all units in a business portfolio.
The BCG model allows companies to develop a customized strategy for each
product or business unit instead of having a one-size-fits-all approach.
b. Sufficient investment to maintain the business unit’s market share at the current
level
The BCG model assumes that high market share and market growth are the only
success factors. Based on numerous real life examples, we can conclude that high
market share does not always lead to profitability. Businesses with low market
share can be highly profitable as well. Relative market strength is also determined
by the following factors which the BCG does not take into account:
a. Technological competence
e. Human resources.
The BCG model focuses on major competitors when analyzing the relative
market share of a company. However, it neglects some small competitors
with fast growing market shares
It is a rather short-term model that doesn’t fully show how characteristics
of business units change over the long term.
The BCG model is more focused on business units than individual products
Assumes that high rates of profit are directly related to high market share
The BCG model looks at a business unit in isolation without taking into
consideration the possible cooperation among various business units within
the organization
BCG is a primarily qualitative model
The Y axis represents the annual market growth which fails to see the full
picture that goes beyond a one year span
It does not take into consideration other important factors such as: market
barriers/restrictions, market density, profitability, politics
With this or any other such analytical tool, ranking business units has a
subjective element involving guesswork about the future, particularly with
respect to growth rates.
GE/McKinsey Matrix
The nine-box matrix provides decision makers with a systematic and effective
framework for a decentralized corporation to make better supported investment
decisions and for developing strategies for future product development or new
market segment entries. Instead of looking solely at each unit’s future prospects,
a corporation can adopt a multi-dimensional approach based on two components
that will indicate how well the unit will perform in the future. The two
components used to evaluate businesses, which also serve as the axes of the
matrix, are the ‘attractiveness’ of the relevant industry and the unit’s ‘competitive
strength’ within the same industry. Each axis is then divided into Low, Medium
and High.
Answer: In the simplest terms, the strategic planning process is the method that
organizations use to develop plans to achieve overall, long-term goals. This
process differs from the project planning process, which is used to scope and
assign tasks for individual projects, or strategy mapping, which helps you
determine your mission, vision, and goals. The strategic planning process is
broader—it helps you create a roadmap for which strategic objectives you should
put effort into achieving and which initiatives will be less helpful to the business.
The strategic planning process steps are outlined below.
Strategic planning process steps
Get the right stakeholders involved from the start, considering both internal and
external sources. Identify key strategic issues by talking with executives at your
company, pulling in customer insights, and collecting industry and market data
to get a clear picture of your position in the market and in the minds of your
customers.
It can also be helpful to review—or create if you don’t have them already—your
company’s mission and vision statements to give yourself and your team a clear
image of what success looks like for your business. In addition, you should review
your company’s core values to remind yourself about how your company will go
about achieving these objectives.
To get started, use industry and market data, including customer insights and
current/future demands, to identify the issues that need to be addressed.
Document your organization’s internal strengths and weaknesses, along with
external opportunities (ways your organization can grow in order to fill needs that
the market does not currently fill) and threats (your competition).
As a framework for your initial analysis, use a SWOT diagram. With input from
executives, customers, and external market data, you can quickly categorize your
findings as Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) to clarify
your current position.
Which of these initiatives will have the greatest impact when it comes to
achieving our company mission/vision and improving our position in the
market?
What types of impact are most important (e.g. customer acquisition vs.
revenue)?
How will the competition react?
Which initiatives are most urgent?
What will we need to do to accomplish our goals?
How will we measure our progress and determine whether we achieved our
goals?
Objectives should be distinct and measurable to help you reach your long-term
strategic goals and initiatives outlined in step one. Potential objectives can be
updating website content, improving email open rates, and new leads in the
pipeline.
3. Develop a plan
Now it’s time to create a strategic plan to successfully reach your goals. This step
requires determining the tactics necessary to attain your objectives and
designating a timeline and clear communication of responsibilities.
Strategy mapping is an effective tool to visualize your entire plan. Working from
the top-down, strategy maps make it simple to view business processes and
identify gaps for improvement.
Turn your broader strategy into a concrete plan by mapping your processes. Use
KPI dashboards to clearly communicate team responsibilities. This granular
approach illustrates the completion process and ownership for each step of the
way.
Set up regular reviews with individual contributors and their superiors and
determine check-in points to make sure you’re on track.
On a quarterly basis, determine which KPIs your team has met and how you can
continue to meet them, adapting your plan as necessary. On an annual basis, it’s
important to reevaluate your priorities and strategic position to ensure that you
stay on track for success in the long run.
A premium brand is a brand that is positioned to have high quality and price. The
company launched it to give an impression of exclusivity, notably to differentiate it
from other mass-market brands.
The word aim is often misconstrued with objective, as they talk about what an
individual or entity may want to achieve. Both are the desired result of the work
performed by an individual, however, they entail different concepts. The aim is
the general statement of the expected outcome.
In contrast, objectives are the steps taken to accomplish the long-term goals of
the company. So, when these terms are used in the right context, then only their
correct implication is possible. And, to do so, take a look at the given article to
know the difference between aim and objective
1. The term aim is described as the ultimate goal, which an individual or the
entity strive to achieve. The objective is something a person/entity seeks to
achieve, by continuously chasing it.
2. The aim of the entity reflects its long-term outcomes while its objectives
indicate the short term targets of the entity.
3. Aim refers to the general direction or intent of an individual/company. On
the other hand, the objective is the specific goal of an individual or
company.
4. .The aim is related to the company’s mission and purpose whereas
objectives are concerned with the achievements of the company.
5. Aim answers the question, what is to be achieved? Unlike objective which
answers, How it is to be achieved?
6. Aims are not time bound, i.e. there is no time frame within which the aim
of the entity must be achieved as it is hard to say accurately, how much
time it will take to achieve. On the other hand, objectives are always
accompanied with a time frame, within which it must be achieved.
7. Last but not the least difference between these two is on measurability, i.e.
objectives are measurable in nature while aims lack measurability.
Kellogs set some aim and to fulfill the aim they created some objectives. As for
them they tried to encourage people to take more physical activity. In their
packaging they started showing the recommended daily level of nutrients served
through kellogs. And physical activity requires more nutrients, and for this they
started encouraging people to take more physical activity. So they started working
with amateur swimming association or ASA as far as back 1997. Now kellogs
choose ASA because of various reasons like, more than 12 million people swim
in the UK regularly. Also swimming is a life skill and everyone can do this with
their family. And ASA tries to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy
swimming as a part of healthy lifestyle. ASA’s objectives matches the objectives
of kellogs and for this purpose kellogs started working with ASA. This
relationship helps kellogs to contribute in a recognizable way how a individual
can achieve a an active healthy lifestyle with the help of kellogs. This reinforced
kellogs brand position.
4. kellogs used both internal and external communication. And both this helped
them to be enforced into the brand position. In external communication to
communicate with the customers and to attract the children they used cartoon
characters by the name of jack and amiee. These characters promoted the
importance of exercise to both parents and children. Also they sponsored the
swimming competition and worked with ASA to promote physical exercise.
And to communicate with the employees kellogs introduced house magazines to
reach the employees and to communicate well with them. And both this helped
to gain more loyal customer and great employees. And this helped their branding
and brand position.
1. The main elements of the control system created by rae kroc is universal rules
and regulations for all the outlet to provide the best and same type of quality
all over the world. All the rules and regulations are all same for franchise
owners managers and employees to follow in running each restaurant. To
control the quality system kroc created a aim and objectives to reach the goal.
Kroc planned a training system to train the franchise owner and managers and
after the completion they trained their subordinates. It created a centralized
control system where everyone is trained in the same way and provides service
and food and do all the work in same way in all the outlets. And by this kroc
maintained the quality and keep control off all the outlets.
2. Kroc’s planning and process helps macdonalds global expansion and with
krocs way they are maintaining and controlling the total global outlets. Every
where they follow the same rules and regulations like, cooking burgers,
making fries, greeting customers, or cleaning tables all were written by krocs
as rules. Next all the francise owners have to take training from hamburger
university, and they were expected to train the work force and make sure that
employees understand the operating procedures as per the guidelines set by
kroc. The main goal is to give the customer whatever they want, the best
quality in both product and service in all the outlets as same. Also he knew
manager of any outlet plays a vital role so a proper reward and incentive
scheme was build to motivate the manager it helped them in expanding. Also
day to day sales and other reports and send to headquarters and the scrutinize
the report, and by the help of the report they easily can monitor and control
the outlet. all the outlets trained their employees accornding to the macdonalds
culture, they learn about the concepts of efficiency,quality, and customer
service. Also acknowledge customers satisfaction needs, by providing happy
meals, celebrating birthdays etc. etc. all this helped macdonald to control and
and facilitate macdonalds global expansion.
