Practices of IMC in Fast Moving Consumer Goods in BangladeshEnamul Islam
Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) are products that are sold quickly and at relatively low cost. Examples include non-durable goods such as soft drinks, toiletries, over-the-counter drugs, toys, processed foods, and many other consumables. The term was coined by Neil H. Borden in 'The Concept of the Marketing Mix' in 1965. FMCGs generally have a short shelf life. Some FMCGs, such as meat, fruits and vegetables, dairy products, and baked goods, are highly perishable. Other goods such as alcohol, toiletries, pre-packaged foods, soft drinks, and cleaning products have high turnover rates.

Organizational Description and Issue to be solved
McDonald's was a food company that was invented in the year 1940. The company has currently registered to have opened more than 34000 restaurants across the globe. During its initiation periods, McDonald's opened loads of shops in America and parts of Europe. M.C. Donald’s is a private company that is mainly owned by shareholders ("Mcdonald’s Business Type and Purpose," 2020). The principal founder of this food company was Maurice M.C. Donald’s and Richard, and until to date, the company does not receive any financial support from the government. The company is currently being led by Don Thompson, who is the company's CEO and Andrew J McKenna as the company's chairperson.
The chairperson and the CEO of this large scale food holding company are the primary decision-makers of this company. The organizational structure has assigned the CEO and the chairman of this task. This company is one of largest fast-moving foods company in the globe, which means that McDonald’s business is the leading food producer which is later one supplied to various parts of the world by other large and small businesses ("Mcdonald’s Business Type and Purpose," 2020). M.C. Donald’s market settles at both tertiary and secondary levels since the company does not produce every piece of food they sell. Still, they also combine various products to make a complete and sellable product. M.C. Donald’s is a restraint sector business, a franchise and a public limited company.
Despite M.C. Donald’s being a large scale fast-food dealing company, the company has registered some critical issues that have led to the loss of a large number of customers and loss of trust from both royal and prime customers. Some of the vital challenges that this company is currently facing are Slow and Inaccurate Services and price sensitivity. Slow and Inaccurate services resulted after the company agreed to introduce new products and make them available to the customers. The company introduced new products such as Wraps and alternatives to eggs, which can be used as breakfast sandwiches last year ("Mcdonald’s Business Type and Purpose," 2020). As a result of this product diversity and inclusion, the company's customers experienced slowed down customer services hence lacking flexibility. As a result of these new products included in the company's menu, the prices raised drastically without the consent of their customer's thesis resulted in a large number of customers opting to buy foods from other company's such as KFC.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This paper was fundamentally about conducting a research and analyzing the findings on an evaluation of the business strategy at Mc Donald’s. Mc Donald’s establishment is a centralized, international organization which competes in the fast food industry by supplying hamburgers, french fries, and other consumable items using standardization. Substantial expansion and branding as the main driving force. As mentioned previously, operating in an open market in the food chain sector, one of Mc Donald’s major competition would be Wendy’s. These two establishments offer the exact same service which tends to make it difficult for Mc Donald’s to gain market share. With this being said, this report outlines different strategic strategies in which Mc Donald’s can gain competitive advantage against Wendy’s by providing substantial evidence on Mc Donald’s weaknesses and how it can be improved by using the case study method to help assist presenting its findings.

1. McDonald’s
INTRODUCTION
Globalization has made the globe considerably smaller. States lines have
turned into practically a divider separating certain regions of a massive unitary
community. Businesses are the one that are highly affected by this
occurrence. The virtual closeness of states has made trade and commerce
an international event. Together with these advances, the key standards of
business are similarly taken into account. The discussions in this paper shall
involve an analysis of the international expansion strategy utilized by a
multinational company. In this case, the situation surrounding McDonald’s will
be taken into consideration. The following annotations and propositions
employed in the following discussions are to be supported by claims on
journals and academic pieces that address international expansion strategies
and international marketing theories.
II. BACKGROUND
2. The modest beginnings of McDonald’s in Illinois turned out to be among the
main brand names in the international scene. It has been synonymous to
what is widely-accepted the fast-food concept. The company operates over
thirty one thousand stores all over the world to date. It was one of the first to
perfect the concept of fast service in the food industry in its early days of
operations in 1955. Given that the products of the company are mainly
western in character, its operations has also expanded to the Asian region.
The first McDonald’s store operated in Hong Kong in 1975. The first shop
operated at Paterson Street in Causeway Bay. Up to this data, the functions
of McDonald’s in Hong Kong covers over two hundred restaurant chains
spread in the whole of Hong Kong alone. In the rest of the globe, it operates
thousands of store franchises that functions autonomously.
3. III. PESTLE ANALYSIS
Pestle is an analysis of the external macro environment in which a business
operates. According to (2008), pestle stands for political, economic, social,
technology, and environmental factors.
A. Political Factors
The international operations of McDonald’s are highly influenced by the
individual state policies enforced by each government. (2001, 705) For
instance, there are certain groups in Europe and the United States that clamor
for state actions pertaining to the health implications of eating fast food.
(2005) They have indicated that harmful elements like cholesterol and
adverse effects like obesity are attributable to consuming fast food products.
On the other hand, the company is controlled by the individual policies and
regulations of operations. Specific markets focus on different areas of concern
such as that of health, worker protection, and environment. All these elements
are seen in the government control of the licensing of the restaurants in the
respective states. For instance, there is an impending legal dispute in the
4. McDonald’s franchise in India where certain infringement of rights and
violation of religious laws pertaining to the contents of the food. The existence
of meat in their menus in India is apparently offensive to the Hindu religion in
the said market. There are also other studies that points to the infringement of
McDonald’s Stores with reference to the existing employment laws in the
target market. Like any business venture, these McDonald’s stores have to
contend with the issues of employment procedures as well as their tax
obligations so as to succeed in the foreign market.
B. Economic Factors
Organisations in the fast food industry are not excused from any disputes and
troubles. Specifically, they do have their individual concerns involving
economic factors. Branches and franchises of fast food chains like
McDonald’s has the tendency to experience hardship in instances where the
economy of the respective states is hit by inflation and changes in the
exchange rates. The customers consequently are faced with a stalemate of
going over their individual budgets whether or not they should use up more on
these foreign fast food chains. (2004) Hence, these chains may have to put
up with the issues of the effects of the economic environment. Particularly,
their problem depends on the response of the consumers on these
fundamentals and how it could influence their general sales. In regarding the
operations of the company, food chains like McDonald’s tend to import much
5. of their raw materials into a specific territory if there is a dearth of supply.
Exchange rate fluctuations will also play a significant role in the operations of
the company.
As stated in the paragraph above, McDonald stores have to take a great deal
of consideration with reference to their microenvironment. The company’s
international supply as well as the existing exchange rates is merely a part of
the overall components needed to guarantee success for the foreign
operations of McDonald’s. Moreover, it is imperative that the company be
cognizant of the existing tax requirements needed by the individual
governments on which they operate. This basically ensures the smooth
operations of the McDonald’s franchises. In the same regard, the company
will also have to consider the economic standing of the state on which they
operate on. The rate at which the economy of that particular state grows
determines the purchasing power of the consumers in that country. Hence, if
a franchise operates in a particularly economically weak state, hence their
products shall cost higher than the other existing products in the market, then
these franchises must take on certain adjustments to maintain the economies
of scale.
C. Socio-Cultural Factors
Articles on the international strategies of McDonald’s seem to function on
several fields to guarantee lucrative returns for the organisation. To illustrate,
6. the organisation improves on establishing a positive mind-set from their core
consumers. McDonald’s indulge a particular variety of consumers with
definite types of personalities. ( 1994) It has also been noted that the
company have given the markets such as the United Kingdom, an option with
regards to their dining needs. (2005) pointed out that McDonald’s has
launched a sensibly valued set of food that tenders a reliable level of quality
for the respective market where it operates. Additionally, those who are aged
just below the bracket of thirty-five are said to be the most frequent
consumers of McDonald’s franchises. ( 2005)
The multifaceted character of business nowadays is reflected in the harsh
significance of the information on the subject of the existing market. This
procedure is essentially identified in the field as market research. (1997)
Information with regards to the appeal and potential fields of the market
would double as obstructions to the success of the company if this area of the
operations is neglected. In the case of McDonald’s they establish a good
system in determining the needs of the market. The company uses concepts
of consumer behaviour product personality and purchasing decisions to its
advantage. ( 1998) It is said to have a major influence on the understanding
of the prospective performance of the organisation in a particular market.
(2000)
D. Technological Factors
7. McDonald’s generates a demand for their own products. (2006) The
company’s key tool for marketing is by means of television advertisements.
There are similarly some claims that McDonald’s are inclined to interest the
younger populations more. The existence of play spots as well as toys in
meals offered by the company shows this actuality. ( 1995) Other
demonstration of such a marketing strategy is apparent in the commercials of
they use. They employ animated depictions of their characters like Grimace
and Hamburglar. Other advertising operations employ popular celebrities to
promote their products. The like has become endorsers for McDonald’s
worldwide “loving’ it” campaign. Moreover, the operations of McDonald’s
have significantly been infused with new technology. Elements like the
inventory system and the management of the value chain of the company
allows for easy payments for their suppliers and other vendors which the
individual stores in respective markets deal with. The integration of technology
in the operations of McDonalds tend to add value to their products. Basically,
this is manifested in the improvements on its value chain. The improvement of
the inventory system as well as its supply chain allows the company to
operate in an international context.
E. Legal Factors
8. There has been the recurrent bellowing in opposition to the fast food industry.
This has similarly made McDonald’s apply a more careful consideration on
their corporate social responsibilities. On the whole, this addressed the need
of the company to form its corporate reputation to a more positive one and a
more socially responsible company. ( 2005) The reputation of McDonald’s is
apparently a huge matter. Seen on the website of the company, it seems that
they have acquired strides to take in hand the key social censures that they
have been berating them in the past decades. The company has provided
their customers the relevant data that they need with reference to the
nutritional substances of their products. This is to attend to the arguments of
obesity charged against the products of the company. In the same way, the
consumers provided freedom in choosing whether or not they want to
purchase their meals.
This is tied up with the socio-cultural attributes of the market on which they
operate. For instance, operations in predominantly Muslim countries require
their meat to conform to the Halal requirements of the law. In the same
regard, those that operate in countries in the European Union should conform
to the existing laws banning the use of genetically modified meat products in
their food. Other legal concepts like tax obligations, employment standards,
and quality requirements are only a few of important elements on which the
company has to take into consideration. Otherwise, smooth operations shall
be hard to achieve.
F. Environment
9. The social responsibilities of McDonald’s on the state are influential to the
operations of the company. These entail accusations of environmental
damage. Among the reasons why they are charged with such claims is the
employ of non-biodegradable substances for their drinks glasses and
Styrofoam coffers for the meals. (1997) Several civic groups in Hong Kong
have made actions to make the McDonald’s franchises in Hong Kong aware
of the rather copious use of Styrofoam containers and the resultant abuse of
the environment. (1997) further indicated that in 1995, McDonald’s Hong
Kong went over the Styrofoam used by both Australia and the United States
combined.
10. IV. CONCLUSION
Debatably, the most significant contribution of this generation is the
combination of globalization and internationalization in the businesses sector.
Developments in the international setting have an effect on the more
particular factors in the operations in individual organisations. Alterations
could take placer and require intense modifications to the operations such that
it could have an adverse effect on the entire structure of the company.
However, as indicated in the arguments and comments in this paper, this
could be acquired by setting a certain level of flexibility in the organisation.
This level of flexibility is basically acquired through the acquaintance of both
the internal and external environment of the company.
Even though McDonald’s may have been deemed as demigod in the fast food
business in the international scene, what it preserves as revealed in its
processes is the need for flexibility. The slight changes that take place in the
market have an effect on the operations of the business in any case. This
denotes that having the information on the effects of these alterations swiftly
provides these fast food industry giants to take fine-tuning actions on their
acts and still preserve their market position. As implied in the introduction of
this paper, the markets of nowadays manifest a cutthroat rivalry with the
individual competitors, recognized brands or otherwise. Hence, any business
11. in spite of the muscle of the brand name or the size of its reserves could not
afford any failures in their individual markets.
12. V. RECOMMENDATION
The following recommendations shall be based on the conclusions and
arguments above.
l Political Factors
Since it is apparent that the company is expanding continuously, it is wise to
deal directly with the proper authorities in the respective markets that they
intend to operate in. This way, a good way of establishes good relationship
with the government. It is advisable that the company rests on the good
graces of the government on which they will be penetrating. To do this, all
they have to do is accomplish all the prescribed acts and satisfy all the
prerequisites for doing business. The company must also be acquainted with
the law in order to know what their responsibilities and their possible liabilities.
l Economic Factors
13. Before penetrating the market, the company must carry out a well conducted
market research, especially in the movements in the economic environment.
The frequency of the shifts in the inflation rate as well as the fluctuations in
the exchange rate affects the operations of the company.
l Socio-cultural Factors
Obtain the relevant information from the target market in addition to the
individual customers of the organisation. It is imperative that before a
franchise is granted to a particular market, a well drafted and comprehensive
market research should be conducted initially so as to establish the acts that
would conform to good customs, public policies, and morals of the said state.
Similarly, the company should find out the shifts in areas like the consumer
behaviour and purchasing patterns of the market. Fundamentally, this is the
key condition for executing a suitable customer relationship management
system.
l Technological Factors
Use the internet to their advantage. The cost-effectiveness, interactivity and
real-time effects of the communications are a good way to find suppliers. It is
14. also a good way to correspond with the respective McDonald’s headquarters
in every state. The company must also look into the use of IT to enhance their
inventory operations. As the operations in its inbound and outbound logistics
improve, the company will expect significant savings and reduction of costs in
the operations.
l Environmental Factors
Find out the environmental regime that governs the operations in every
market. Monitor the waste disposal of the company. Minimize the use of
Styrofoam materials and plastic cups. Constant updating of the social
corporate responsibility is imperative. This should also entail that the
headquarters should take in hand a manner of internal control of those that
would infringe upon this company objective. Sanctions such as revoking of the
franchise license or a particularly high fine should be installed to serve as a
deterrent to infringement.
l Legal Factors
Hire local counsels to deal with the legal conflicts in individual markets on
which the company may encounter. This is shall ensure the company that the
15. lawyers that will handle their legal affairs are more versed with the legal
regime that would iron out certain creases on their operations.
