BRAND EQUITYMcDonald's
McDonald's being one of the finest and leading brand in the fast-food chain has committed to doing
the right thing. And everyday, all around the globe, they put people, processes and practices into place
to make quality food, more responsible sourcing choices, a stronger community and a better planet.
Thus creating a difference in the market.
Its core values include
1.Better quality and service
2.Cleaner surroundings and added values
3.Healthier food options
4.Sustainability Priorities
5.Refurbished restaurants based on consumers needs
The company did lose track of their market in the 80's but has learnt from their mistakes and now they
are more focused on to their core brand values thereby their economy turned around for the better.
What are McDonald’s core brand values? Have these changed over the years?
McDonald's is a premier example of the business model. With roots that trace
back to a single drive-in started by a pair of brothers, Dick and Mac
McDonald, in Southern California, McDonald's has grown to a network of
well over 35,000 locations in more than 100 countries. McDonald’s adjusts
product offerings to satisfy needs – like relatively lower cost, healthy
alternatives for mom's and $1 menu options for lower income consumers and
teens. It also redesigned restaurants with consumer needs in mind and
adapted it menus to different regions based on consumers needs. It also
expands its consumer base through product offerings like McCafe and via
global growth. This led to its growth in brand equity over the years.
With the economy turning around for the better, should McDonald’s change its
strategy? Why or why not?
The major risk's that McDonald's will face going forward is that,
1.Most people will give a value for eating a healthy diet thereby
leading to a downfall in their profit margins.
2.Training employees rapidly and less effectively during expansion
drives will pose a major threat in the future.
2.As people's tastes and liking's changes , theyll have to adapt to
these changes to supply a better product.
3.Competitors like Domino's, Pizza Hut etc., will posses a threat if
McDonald's is not consistent in innovating newer products in their
menu.
What risks do you feel McDonald’s will face going forward?
• Richard & Maurice McDonald started 15¢ hamburger stands with
golden arches in California.
• Ray Kroc, a milkshake machine salesman, bought world franchise
rights. He later purchased the company from the brothers for $2.7
million.
• Builds the most recognizable brand in the world.
• Diversifies its menu to stay in the competition.
• Low pricing and intensive marketing campaign fuels the growth of
the company.
• Health conscious society might move on to healthier options.
• Needs to introduce healthier options to stay in the competition.
