Regulatory Trends and Issues

Business law is the implementation of regulations that oversee the


implementation of activities in business or economic activity. In the
setting of the included business law ordinances and procedures on
how to run a real business habits. To understand business law, is
useful to first understand civil law and commercial law in general.
Because the field of civil and commercial law is the basis of
business law. This is important, so that we shall have no difficulty in
understanding the basic business law.
Business law can be defined as the rules were made in
order to manage business activities in Indonesia. The business
activities can be run fairly. For more details, business law can be
interpreted as written regulations made by the government in order
to manage, protect and monitor all business activities whether it is
trade or industry or service or other activities related to finance and
business sectors.
Communications sector can develop due to the rapidly
growing technological advances as well. This can be seen in the

production of goods such as mobile phones and the internet.


Businesses in this sector are thrilled to see the interest of the
community is very high.
Another kind of business is rapidly expanding franchises
(franchise) which was once dominated by foreign businesses, such
as KFC, Mc Donald's and Pizza Hut. Currently it has come also
competing local businesses such as Indomaret, Ice Teller77 and
others. In addition the property business also began to squirm that
hit major cities such as Jakarta has many built luxury apartments
designed for middle and upper class society. In other cities in
Indonesia is also developing residential development business,
shops and shopping centers. Economic development in Indonesia
can be seen from the data development of micro small and medium
enterprises. Data in 2006 showed all business units in Indonesia
has reached 45.7 million units in June and in 2011 growing to 51
million units.
Conditions mentioned above background birth business
law as law in Indonesia. The law is the law of social control so
expect businesses are also able to organize and supervise the
escort business in this country. With the presence of business law
in the midst of society, it is expected that businesses can avoid
business losses. In addition, business law are also expected to be
able to prevent monopolistic practices early. Business law is
expected to provide protection and security for all businesses,

consumers and the wider community. Therefore, businessmen and


the private sector and the public basically does require the
presence of business law.
Business law also aims to create peace in the conduct of
business. However, business law will also provide tough sanctions
against those who violate the rules in business law. Sanctions are
to provide legal certainty, justice as well as to bring awareness to
the community. Thus people will be convinced that the existence of
business law really useful and can protect them.
Business law regulating and protecting the perpetrators
from engaging in fraudulent practices such as monopolies and
competition, tax evasion, and so forth. In addition, business law are
also intended to provide protection to the community. People as
consumers of goods and services in the market should get the
attention of business law. Society has often been the victim in the
business world. It has been often found that businesses create and
market products under the standard and dangerous to the
community.

Economic Trends and Issues

The economic situation in Indonesia in 2012 is expected to


stabilize. The state of the Indonesian economy expected to remain
steady in 2012 if they meet specific conditions prevailing in the

world strong economy, though by no means outcome riding stable


economy because of the years 2008 to 2012 Indonesia's economic
situation deteriorated because the amount of budget that should
belong to the people completely lost because of corruption cases,
the increase in price without any logical reason, and there are
many other cases. After a decline in 2010, Indonesia is expected to
play with the stability of the economy that are not too into account
the state budget, and do not take into account the cases that
occurred in 2008 because it could be a factor and the reason for
the loss of state money One That case has not been finished until
now Century is the case. Indonesia has become the emerging
economy, and economic power to the 16 world. Indonesia became
a middle-income country, with poverty and unemployment levels
are successfully lowered gradually. By overcoming the challenges
of economic development through the implementation of policy
measures as described above, as a nation, we must trust and
believe, in time, we can have a stronger economy and justice,
democracy and stable quality, as well as civilization developed
nation and superior as we seek together.
Global economic environment is expected to impact on
the business environment in Indonesia includes a micro-enterprise
development spending in developed countries, changes in
appetite / demand and the global policy change as the exchange
rate of some currencies that dominate the international financial

markets. Spending patterns of development as in the United


States, which tends to lead to balance the budget deficit will affect
the US Dollar exchange rate against other currencies. We have
observed the fall of the exchange rate against the U.S. dollar in the
period 1994-95 Yendaka, reaching a rate below 90 yen per dollar.
Besides, it should be observed in the direction where government
spending is removed, as this can affect the pattern of demand for
imported goods originating from developing countries. If the
development expenditure is followed by the participation of the
private sector output growth rate the economy can be improved.
This development will usually be followed by the development in
the construction sector, real estate and technologically advanced
industries, so that imports of raw materials and other input goods
from developing countries will increase. Demand for goods and
services in developed countries, especially luxury goods, may
change with the shifting tastes and lifestyle of the people in the
country. Some of the economic activities that will be affected by
climate change that happens every year in specific geographic
areas of the economy, including the demand for building materials,
garments and tourism activities. Finally, in the era of globalization,
foreign currency exchange rates are likely to fluctuate, especially
the dollar, yendaka, pounds, deutchmark and the

other major

foreign currencies. Factors causing fluctuations in currency


exchange rates is the imbalance trade balance of the two countries

(bilateral), the budget deficit of political, economic growth and the


threat of international political conflict.
Until now, the IMF international financial institutions are
not able to create stability in the exchange rate, given that most
international control of the stock of money in the hands of the
owners of global capital. The implications of exchange rate volatility
is the financial management of exporting firms is the uncertainty
factor in estimating revenue streams and cost flows in a particular
period. Of course, the use of international financial consulting
services managers are strongly advised to avoid the risk of loss
from any calculation of the exchange rate.
EVOLUTION GLOBAL ECONOMY
1. Economy Agriculture, until two hundred years ago the world
economy is agrarian in which one is the main characteristic of the
soil is the most dominant factor.
2. Industrial Economics, after the industrial revolution, the invention
of the steam engine, the global economy has evolved toward an
industrial economy with its main characteristic is the capital as the
most important factor of production.
3. Economic Information, currently, men tend to occupy a central
place in the production process, because the stage we are entering
the economy is based on knowledge (knowledge based) and
focuses on the information (information focused). In this case the

role of telecommunications and informatics as a key technology


(technology enabler).
Advances in information technology and telecommunications so
rapidly, allowing the implementation of new ways for more efficient
production, distribution and consumption of goods and services. It
is this process that brings people into the Society or Information
Economy. This new society is also often referred to as postindustrial society. Whatever we call it, in the information age,
physical distance or geographical distance is no longer a factor in
human relations or inter-agency effort, so that the universe
becomes a hamlet universe or "Global village". So often we hear
the term "distance is dead" or "distance is dead", which more and
more fulfilled. In our lives in the future, information technology and
telecommunications sector is the dominant sector. Anyone who
mastered this technology, it will become a leader in the world.

Socio-Cultural Trends and Issues

International Business Administration


Group of Bclass

Batch 2010

Indonesia, which is an independent state and a recognized world


has a constitution that governs the social system of Indonesian
culture, not only in Indonesia it is known that there were four (4)
pillars of nationhood as the bearer and container of socio-cultural
systems of Indonesia. The four pillars are the Pancasila, the 1945
Constitution, Homeland, and national unity.
Social and cultural dynamics, it does not hit the exception
of Indonesia, despite broad spectrum and speed vary. Similarly,
society and culture of Indonesia has been growing rapidly in the
past, although today's development is lagging when compared with
developments

in

other

developed

countries.

However, the

community and the diverse culture of Indonesia were never


stagnated as the embodiment of the active response to the
challenges arising from the changing environment in the broad
sense

and

the

of

generations.

There are a number of forces that led to the development of


Indonesia's social culture. Categorically there are 2 forces social
change, First Instance, is the power of the people themselves
(internal factors), such as change of generations and various local
discovery and engineering. Second, is the power from outside the
community (external factors), such as the influence of contacts
between cultures (culture contact) directly or distribution (element)
culture and environmental changes, Which in turn may stimulate
the development od social and cultural community should

deprogram them. No matter how fast or slow the development of


socio-cultural hit, and any factor cause, any change would cause
reaction of the pros and cons of the community or nation
concerned. The size of the reaction to the pros and cons of it can
threaten the stability and even

can

also lead to

social

disintegration, especially in a pluralistic society with multiple


cultures like Indonesia.
Indonesian society today is undergoing a period of
transition that is very powerful as a result of a thorough reform
demands. Moderate reform demands that originate on national
development activities that apply advanced technologies to
accelerate their implementation. On the other hand, without
realizing it, the application of advanced technologies that require
reference to cultural values, social norms and new orientation. It is
not surprising that Indonesia's diverse multi-cultural with it as if it
had kelimbungan to reorganize the social order, politics, and
culture today. Social events that are changing at the moment in
Indonesia include the entry of the baby boom cohort in 1950, 1960
and 1970 in the Indonesian labor market. Their entry into the
workforce can affect purchasing power, spending patterns and the
different demands of a cohort to another cohort. By modernization
which then influences the behavior and their lifestyle, as well as
symptoms of urbanization and rural-urban migration continues to
consider with carefully. Similarly, the inclusion of a large workforce

Technological Trends and Issues

Indonesia is one of the few developing countries in the world. Even


today, Indonesia is one country that has considerable influence in
the world.
One of the important means of communication today is
the media, mass media, print media, electronic media, and so on.
Among the various media which show significant role of the print
and electronic media. Through the media, we can find out about the
issues and events happening both inside the country and abroad.

Currently, the media play an important and active to help


build the nation. It can be seen from several aspects. Previously,
maybe only a few people can access the internet and understand
what it is about the internet. But now, many people cannot live
without it seems the internet. Even in the village also have many
internets now enter the village.
This event is one of the development of communication
technology is excellent. But some of those Internet users do not
know exactly to what the actual use of the Internet. The average
Indonesian people use the Internet simply to exist or practically
bandwagon. This occurs because the rise of social networking sites
spread across the internet.
Internet is one of the receptacles for learning, not just to
play in social networking. Usually the students are using the
internet to assist them in completing their tasks. There are even
some teachers who use the internet to collect the assignment.
With search engines on the Internet, then we can easily
find anything we're looking for it. Today, the Internet is not only
used for learning or social networking. Some companies even use
the internet as a promotional tool. Internet is one of the good
access to promotion because not only can be accessed in
Indonesia, but from all over the world.

Currently, the development of communication technology


in Indonesia comes from different parties and elements of society.
Not only those from the Internet, but many other factors that led to
the development of communication technology in Indonesia. Some
of the other factors are the use of various electronic devices such
as smartphones, PCs / laptops, a variety of events from electronic
media such as television and radio, print media, and more.
Previously, many people simply use the phone to call or
send a short message to simply ask the news to family or relatives.
But this time, the phone not only serves as a medium to call or
send a message, but has become a mini computer that can have
many functions. A wide range of mobile phones in circulation today
is a kind of smartphone that has a lot of additional features and
their respective uses.
This is one of giving access information very quickly and
accurately. With the TV, then all sorts of events that exist both
outside and within the country can be easily identified. The average
population of Indonesia is pick the TV at home, so this is the media
plays an important role in the advancement of communication
technology in Indonesia.
In addition to the many positive things from the
development of communication technology, of course there are
negative as well. Some of the negative things that can happen with
the development of communication technology in Indonesia among

as cybercrime or crimes committed in cyberspace.

2.1.5

Regional Trends and Isuues

Indonesia has become one of the countries with the largest urban
population in East Asia and the Pacific. In 2010, there was 49.8
percent of Indonesias population live in urban areas. Such a rapid
pace of urbanization is opening a number of great opportunities for
Indonesia. If managed well, urbanization has the potential to
increase productivity, provide new opportunities in the field of
economics, as well as to increase the income of the urban
population. This study examines the structure, performance, and
obstacles facing the city and metropolitan area in Indonesia, and
how Indonesia can reap the benefits of urbanization. The study
shows the urgent need to direct urban development strategy on the
following two points:
Spatial planning and investment priorities should be consistent at
each level of government (central, provincial, city).
Urban development strategies must be adjusted to the city
concerned.

Connectivity between metropolitan areas, as well as


between urban and rural areas also needs to be improved
considering Indonesia's diverse geography stretching. Furthermore,
to align with the urbanization trends Master plan for the
Acceleration and Expansion of Indonesia's Economic Development

efficiency of urban areas and efforts to reap the benefits of

Industry Analysis

2.2.1

Size and Growth

The industry size of fast food in Indonesia can be accounted in


different ways; one being the total sales of fast food, but in this
context another way could also be to look solely at sales of fast
food in chained restaurants. By isolating the sales made in chained
restaurants, a picture of the overall attractiveness of franchises

Global Marketing

19

International Business Administration


Group of Bclass

Batch 2010

should be clearer. Both the total and the chained fast food sales will
be considered in this section.
Total sales of fast food from 2002-2007 can be seen here:

While the overall market for fast food has been performing well,
times have been even better for chained restaurants such as
McDonalds, Burger King, Sunset Boulevard etc. In 2002 sales
were million 2,145 and in 2007 the revenue was 3,613.3. This is a

Global Marketing

20

International Business Administration


Group of Bclass

Batch 2010

growth of 68.6 percent. The annual CAGR for chained restaurants


has been 11 percent from 2002-2007, which is a 3.1 percent bigger
growth than that of the overall fast food market. This indicates that
chained restaurants are well received in the Danish market.
The figures show that historically the market for fast food
has been growing every year. For Subway, this means that it can
expand in a market that has been growing over recent years.
Market saturation has not happened yet which is definitely an
advantage as it decreases some of the pressure of performing
within the market. A saturated market usually leads to fierce
competition since companies fight over the very same customers.
Market growth
Appendices three and four are forecasts of sales and growth from
2007-2012.

Global Marketing

21

International Business Administration


Group of Bclass

Batch 2010

To a large degree, the figures in that table are more important than
those of 2002-2007 as they are more contemporary. Both total
sales and chained restaurant sales will be considered as in the
foregoing section.
From 2007 to 2012 total sales are expected to rise from million
7,922.1 to 8,575.5 which is a total growth of 8.2 percent. This is
equal to a CAGR of 1.6 percent. The prospects, however, are
somewhat better for chained restaurants. Here sales are expected
to rise from million 3,617.3 in 2007 to 4,180.7 in 2012. This is equal
to a CAGR of 2.9 percent or a total growth of 15.6 percent.
Assessing these figures, it seems clear that although growth is not
expected to rise as significantly as in 2002-2007, the market is still
expected to experience growth especially within the subsector of
chained restaurants. An analysis of the product life cycle (PLC) will
here be used to look more in depth at the development within the
market.

purchase our products but who are not in a position to reach the
restaurants, one of the most effective ways in which we can deliver
the products is through delivery service. We try to give same
impression for those who order directly in restaurant and for those
who order by delivery.

Trends

There are so many fast food restaurants in whole Indonesia. Fast


food nowadays is not only become a need but also become a
lifestyle. There are so many busy people in Indonesia, and they
want to eat something that fast and easy to serve and no need to
wait for a long time. Not only busy people want something fast and
easy to get but teenagers or young people also looking for food that
fast and easy to serve.
Fast food means an establishment where consumption is
paid first before they serve and where there are no waiters.
However, the arrangements for food service and fast food can be
divided into several categories: To lead, in the same restaurant or

Key success

Fast-food restaurants provide quick meals to people on the go and


offer an alternative to traditional, sit-down restaurants. Opening a
fast-food restaurant in a rural area of the country has significant
advantages that could lead to exponential growth for the business.

Real Estate Costs

The less we spend for real estate, the more money we can spend
for other start-up costs.

Restaurant Competition

When open a fast-food restaurant in a rural place without much


competition, our restaurant will stick out to potential customers. We
have a purpose to open this business in remote area in this
country. Additionally, we can capture a large percentage of the
area's restaurant business and create a large group of loyal

Global Marketing

27

International Business Administration


Group of Bclass

Batch 2010

customers. If other competitors come to the town, we will have had


the first-mover advantage because of our timing.

Food Deserts

Many rural areas and small towns are "food deserts" without any
grocery stores in the immediate vicinity. People who live in food
deserts must rely on groceries from small convenience stores or
dine out when they are hungry. If we open a fast-food restaurant in
a food desert, we are more likely to attract customers who do not
want to make a long trek to a grocery store or buy groceries from a
gas station's convenience store.

Advertising Costs

Compared to advertising media in larger cities, the cost to advertise


in rural areas is typically low. Opening a fast-food restaurant
requires sales working capital expenditures. Sales working capital
is the capital spent to drive sales and attract customers. If our fastfood restaurant spends less money for radio spots, print ads and
television commercials, we will earn more net income from
operations at the end of each fiscal period.

Customer analysis

2.3.1

Market Segmentation

Based on strategies for market segmentation, we will segment our


market in four ways; we look from psychographic segmentation,
geographical

segmentation,

demographic

segmentation,

and

behavioral segmentation. For the first:

Psychographic segmentation: In our country, we can see


most of people like to try new things, see the restaurant from
the place, the luxurious quality, and healthy food with
affordable prices. So, we try to open the Subway restaurant
in Indonesia with a new look with different styles from some
of the existing restaurant. We focus on place and taste from
the food, for satisfy our customer.

Geographical Segmentation : in terms of geography is


perfect with Indonesian people currently, with so many
external cultures in Indonesia, we have the opportunity to
open a Subway restaurant in Indonesia that sells sandwich,
salad and other food which is typical food from other
countries. We hope many people will interest with Subway
restaurant.

Demographic Segmentation: in terms of demographics, we


will provide healthy food suitable for all people, at an
affordable price in accordance with the economic conditions
in Indonesia.

Behavioral Segmentation: based on the customers needs,


many customers like to order product with a simple way, so
we will provide order online for make customer easy to order
our product.

2.3.2

Customer Needs Analysis

Customers need a restaurant that are have a place that easy to find
and must be have a clean place. And about the taste, the food must
be match in consumer tastes. For the prices, consumers need a
cheap price. Therefore our product price must be affordable to the
economy consumer. And one of the important things that consumer
need is easy to order our product, so that we make order online
strategy for provide consumer needs, in anytime and anywhere
consumer can order our product.

2.3.3 Customer Groups Analysis


We provide a wide range of sandwiches. Specifically for customer
who is dieting we will give them special sandwich that are healthy

and low fat. And for the vegetarian customer we will provide a
vegetarian sandwich without meat just vegetables alone. Even
more facilitate consumer, consumers can design their own
sandwiches according to their individual tastes. And for consumers
who want a sandwich with a variety of flavors they can choose the
following options:
BLT, Black Forest Ham, Buffalo Chicken, Chicken & Bacon Ranch
Melt, Chipotle Steak and Cheese, Cold Cut Combo, Italian BMT,
Meatball Marianara, Oven Roasted Chicken, Roast Beef, Sweet
Onion Chicken Teriyaki, Tuna, Veggie Delite, etc.

2.3.4

Customer Buying Decision - Process Analysis

Researchers found out, that customers go through a five-stage


decision-making process in any purchase. Considering this process
is mandatory for marketers, because it covers more than only the

Global Marketing

33

International Business Administration


Group of Bclass

Batch 2010

buying decision. Each customer passes through the following five


stages:

(1) Need recognition and problem awareness


Each buying process starts with a need, triggered by external or
internal stimuli. In the case of Subway, the internal stimuli will
mostly be identified as hunger, whether the external stimuli can be
caused due to each kind of marketing (for example mass media:
TV, Radio etc.), or the cognition of a smell. (Hollensen 2003, 118123.)

(2) Information search


The aroused customer will start to search more information to
compose his need. There are two different stages of arousal. The
first and milder stage is a demanded invigilation. In this stage, the
customer is very comprehensive for information. During a walk
through the city, a customer in this phase will draw strong attention
to food-advertisement. The second and stronger stage is the active

Global Marketing

34

International Business Administration


Group of Bclass

Batch 2010

information search. Customers within this phase search very


actively, where they can fulfill their needs (catch some food).
(Hollensen 2003, 118-123.)
The information about fulfilling the need can be gained
from different sources for example, personal sources (family,
friends), commercial sources (advertising, posters, and flyers)
public sources (mass media) and experimental (using the product).
The biggest amount of sources is obtained by commercial sources
whether the independent public and personal sources are more
effective. (ibid. 118-123.)
Furthermore, while gaining information, the customer is
only able to focus on the food, of his choice, which is available. As
the following graph shows, gaining information about fast food is
limited to the awareness. In the following example, the chain Pizza
Hut is not located in the customers city. For this reason, he has to
choose his preference between the remaining food stores.
Although there is a Burger King available, the customer is
not in the mood to eat this kind of fast food. Continuing from the
processed set the customer has to make his first (consideration
set) and second (Sunset Boulevard) preference, while McDonald's
has been rejected. According to Subways statement on their
website The goal of the chain's current advertising campaign is to
increase the brand presence in the consumers "consideration
set"--that is, which fast-food restaurants consumers consider when
Global Marketing

35

International Business Administration


Group of Bclass

Batch 2010

deciding where to eat. This graphic shows an example of how


customers information research during the buying process of fast
food and how it can take place and affects their buying behavior.

(3) Evaluation of alternatives


The next step is the cognitive process valuation, about the product
and offers. The consumer anticipated advantage convenience of
one product. The review of the advantages will be based on
personal experience, the brand image and the weighing of the
product characteristics. (Hollensen 2003, 118-123.)

(4) Purchase decision


Previous purchasing decisions often sub decisions must be made
concerning brand, dealer, quantity, payment method and timing and
risk avoidance. Because the fast food industry covers only lowinvolvement purchasing, the risk avoidance factors will not be
considered.
However, two more factors can influence the buying process
between the purchasing purpose and the purchasing decision.
Positive or negative approach of a third

Global Marketing

36

International Business Administration


Group of Bclass

Batch 2010

For example a customer of the target food stores complains that he


did not enjoy his meal; a visitor of another food restaurant (possibly
hold set) says, that they have very good offerings Unforeseen
events
Due to lack of money the customer might have to choose a
cheaper restaurant; the customer meets a friend who invites him to
a dinner. (Hollensen 2003, 118-123.)

(5) Post purchase behavior


After buying the product, satisfaction or dissatisfaction will arise.
This dements on what has been suggested from the products and
the actual outcome. Even if the customer was enjoying the Subway
sandwich during the stay in the restaurant, other criteria like
interior, cleanliness and service of the restaurant can influence his
or her opinion. Even afterwards, while leaving the restaurant
satisfied, the frame of mind can change when seeing a comparable
offer for a lower price, at a competitor s restaurant. Awareness of
the fact that dissatisfaction leads into more communication than
satisfaction, is mandatory. Due to the word of mouth and opinion
leaders, dissatisfaction in post purchasing should be prevented due
to after sales service customer hotlines and quality guarantees.
(Hollensen 2003, 118-123.)

Global Marketing

37

International Business Administration


Group of Bclass

Batch 2010

The fast food industry and the offered products do not


obtain high involvement like for example the market of racing cars.
This has two reasons. To buy fast food, the customer must not be
aware of any technical knowhow and does not have any risk
(besides several diseases which might occur when eating too much
fast food) when choosing the wrong product (meal). The price level
is compared to other products, low. These factors make the
decision making process (with information research) not relevant
compared to high technical or high price products.

2.3.5

Summary of Major Customer-Related Issues

Subway restaurant is a one of franchise that focuses for sell food,


such as: sandwiches. Our way in attract customers, start from the
strategic place, cleanliness of the place, and sandwiches with
different tastes, affordability prices, and a restaurant with modern
style.

Customers need a restaurant that are have a place that easy


to find and must be have a clean place. And about the taste,
the food must be match in consumer tastes. For the prices,
consumers need a cheap price. Therefore our product price
must be affordable to the economy consumer.

Specifically for customer who is dieting we will give them


special sandwich that are healthy and low fat. For the
vegetarian customer we will provide a vegetarian sandwich
without meat just vegetables alone. Consumers can design
their own sandwiches according to their individual tastes. And
many more taste options that we offered to our customers

4.

First when they search for the information they will find about
our product through the advertisemen that we have made,
then in the evaluation process, customers can know well
about us when their friend told them about Subway quality in
the another country. Next step is purchase. After they
purchase product from our store, they will feel different
because of the product that we offered has the high quality
and great taste ever.

List of Major Competitors and Any Potential Competitors

Batch 2010

- Major competitors: According to our opinion, the existing


competitors for now namely the restaurant that sells products like
sandwiches in other restaurants such as: burger king, McDonald's,
KFC.
- Potential competitors: KFC, McDonald's, and Burger King, that
three restaurant has great potential to become our competitors.
Because, at this time many people in Indonesia are very familiar
with that restaurant, almost in every town in Indonesia has the
franchise. One of the main factors also the restaurant is the largest
chain in the world.

2.4.2

Identification and Analysis of Strategic Groups

According to some people, KFC has a high price compared to


McDonald's. Although McDonald's has a low selling price, but the
composition of the food that they give more than McDonalds. Most
people also agree that KFC has higher calories compared with
other competitors. Thus, they prefer to go to McDonald's. However,
KFC is a fast food restaurant that better known by many people, so
between KFC and McDonald's have different values. While Burger
King, is a famous fast-food restaurant with their burger. KFC and
McDonald's also provide a burger, but not complete like in Burger
King Restaurant. Because this restaurant more focus in selling

"Burger" so compared to KFC and McDonald's are also selling

restaurants, bringing the total to 102 locations. In 1968, McDonald's


opened its 1,000th restaurant. In 1987 the company opened 600
new restaurants. And the 10,000th unit opened in April 1988. In
1995 McDonalds opened 1,130 units. Incredibly, the company
reached the 20,000-restaurant mark in only eight more years, in
mid-1996. Only about 400 new McDonald's were built in 1997. By
the end of 1997 the total had surpassed 23,000, and by that time
McDonald's was opening 2,000 new restaurants each year, an
average of one every five hours. By the early 1990s the company
had established itself in 58 foreign countries and operated more
than 3,600 restaurants outside the United States. Growth in sales
at stores open more than a year (known as same-store sales) fell in
both 2000 and 2001. Late in 2001 the company launched a
restructuring involving the elimination of about 850 positions, 700 of
which were in the United States, and some store closings. The
2002 quarterly loss, which included the closure of more than 700
restaurants (mostly in the United States and Japan), the elimination
of 600 jobs, and charges of $853 million. McDonald's continued to
curtail store openings in 2004 and to concentrate on building
business at existing restaurants. Much of the more than $1.5 billion
budgeted for capital expenditures in 2004 was slated to be used to
remodel existing restaurants. McDonald's also aimed to pay down
debt by $400 million to $700 million and to return approximately $1
billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. In

July 2011, McDonald's announced that their largest restaurant in


the world will be built on the 2012 London Olympics site. The
restaurant will contain over 1,500 seats and is half the length of an
American Football field. Over 470 staff will be employed serving on
average (during the 2012 Olympics) 100,000 portions of fries,
50,000 Big Macs and 30,000 Milkshakes. This restaurant will
overshadow the current largest McDonald's in the world in Moscow,
Russia. In January 2012, the company announced revenue for
2011 reached an all-time high of $27 billion, and that 2400
restaurants would be updated and 1300 new ones opened
worldwide.

3. BURGER KING :
Even though the company had rapidly expanded throughout the
state until its operations totaled more than 40 locations in 1955. In
1959, they ran the company as an independent entity for eight
years (eventually expanding to over 250 locations in the United
States). In 1967, BK had grown to 274 restaurants in the United
States and had an estimated value of $18 million (USD). By 1970
the company had grown to over 350 store across the country. By
1971 they owned 351 stores with sales of $32 million. In 1982
Burger King directly attacked its competitors, alleging that Burger
King's grilled burgers were better than McDonald's and Wendy's

45

International Business Administration


Group of Bclass

Batch 2010

fried burgers. Both competitors sued over the ads, and Wendy's
challenged Burger King to a taste test (a challenge that was
pointedly ignored). In return for dropping the suits, Burger King
agreed to phase out the offending ads gradually, but Burger King
came out the winner in its $25 million "Battle of the Burgers": the
average volume of its 3,500 stores rose from $750,000 to $840,000
in 1982, sales were up 19 percent, and pretax profits rose 9
percent. In September 1989, Grand Met acquired several
restaurant properties from United Biscuits (Holdings) plc, including
the Wimpey hamburger chain, which included 381 U.K. outlets and
148 in other countries. By the summer of 1990, 200 Wimpeys had
been converted to Burger Kings, bolstering the company's foreign
operations, a traditional area of weakness. Over the next several
years, Burger King was much more aggressive with its international
expansion, with restaurants opening for the first time in Hungary
and Mexico (1991); Poland (1992); Saudi Arabia (1993); Israel,
Oman, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Peru, and New
Zealand (1994); and Paraguay (1995). By 1996, Burger King had
outlets in 56 countries, a dramatic increase from the 30 of just
seven years earlier. While Burger King lags behind McDonald's in
international locations by over 12,000 stores, as of 2008 it had
managed to become the largest chain in several countries including
Mexico and Spain. At the end of fiscal year 2011, Burger King
reported it had more than 12,400 outlets in 73 countries; of these,

Global Marketing

66 percent are in the United States and 90 percent are privately


owned and operated. At the end of its 2011 fiscal year, Burger King
is the second largest chain of hamburger fast food restaurants in
terms of global locations. The company plans to add over 250
stores in these Asian territories, as well as other places such as
Macau, by the end of 2012.

KFC uses an integrated low cost/differentiation leadership,


since it can count on its brand name and original taste and
recipes to be unique while at the same time compete on price
using the benefits of cost savings from economies of scale.

2.

McDonalds strategies :
To serve good food in a friendly and fun environment
To be a socially responsible company
To provide good returns to its shareholders
To provide its customers with food of a high standard, quick
service and value for money
The low price and volume: Mc Donald's has in the world, a
policy of low prices and volume, major elements of its
competitive advantage. To deliver all meals daily, prices must
be affordable. McDonald's goal is to attract consumers the
most regularly possible, it should not propose menus at high
prices. Product prices are not identical in all countries and
within countries there are also different prices depending on the
location. So they vary according to local competition and
promotions, sometimes in each restaurant. Moreover, it should
be noted that 70% of McDonald's sales are made each day

over a period of four hours. McDonald's has decided to try to


change eating habits to attract more consumers during the
peak hours for reduced rates. An example of this aggressive
pricing policy: making the second menu half-price for all menu
purchased the evening before 6 o'clock.

3.

Burger King strategies:


Burger King is creating a good amount of marketing buzz
around their new menu and the experience that consumers will
have. They have redeveloped their menu, which is somewhat
reminiscent of McDonalds to be more health conscious by
adding salad and wraps options.

They will somehow be

incorporating a touch screen into their point of sale and using


food trucks to get their product out to the masses.
Burger King continue to emphasizing its barbell strategy of
promoting both value and premium menu items and they
launch of its new breakfast menu will help increase traffic and
sales. Burger King executives expanded on these strategies.
Track their sales so they can make marketing programs to
tackle a downturn.

Group of Bclass

Batch 2010

According to some people, KFC has a high price compared to


McDonald's. Although McDonald's has a low selling price, but the
composition of the food that they give more than McDonalds. Most
people also agree that KFC has higher calories compared with
other competitors. Thus, they prefer to go to McDonald's. However,
KFC is a fast food restaurant that better known by many people, so
between KFC and McDonald's have different values. While Burger
King, is a famous fast-food restaurant with their burger. KFC and
McDonald's also provide a burger, but not complete like in Burger
King Restaurant. Because this restaurant more focus in selling
"Burger" so compared to KFC and McDonald's are also selling
burgers on their menus, most of people that like burger prefer to
eat burger in Burger King fast food restaurant. So, the three
restaurants have different advantages.
KFC
KFC have restaurant in 109 countries and territories around
the world. KFC operates more than 5,200 restaurants in the
United States and more than 15,000 units around the world.
McDonalds
McDonalds is the leading global food service retailer in the
world with more than 30,000 restaurants, in more than 100
countries.
Burger King
Burger King is the second largest chain in the world with more
than 11,200 restaurants in 69 countries. 90% of Burger King

Subway has a large loyal customer base which developed

over the years.


Economic downturn is one of the major threats caused
because of the current economic recession. Sales of
sandwiches are growing 15 percent annually, outpacing the 3
percent sales growth rate for burgers and steaks. This
increase in sales of the sandwiches has been a result of
decreases in consumer interest in hamburgers and fries and
increases in demand for healthier options.

Internal Analysis
3.1

Internal Analysis (SWot)


a.

Strength

Subway has positioned itself in places like hospitals,


churches, schools and popular retail stores like Home Depot
and Wal-Mart which makes the start-up cost of franchises low.
Because of such great strategies the company has become
the leading sandwich franchise world-wide in a very short
period of time.

Subway is known to be a company that offer healthy subs


sandwich that are preferred and are much better as compared
to food items offered by other fast-food chains like
McDonalds. The food menu of the Subway reflects the high
demand of healthy and fresh fast-food.

Also the marketing and promotional strategies adopted by


the company are an example of the positive focus on
demand, consumer preferences, innovative trends and
product leveraging.

Subway currently has more stores in the United States than


does McDonalds which adds to its strengths.

b.

Weaknesses

Global Marketing

76

International Business Administration


Group of Bclass

Batch 2010

Change is good in moderate amounts; however the company


must be careful by not believing that it must continually
change its offerings in order to remain the market leader. Too
much change too soon can cause a company to lose favor
with customers and Subway has already shown signs of too
much change, altering its menu multiple times in the last five
years.

The dcor and the look of the franchises seem to be old and
outdated.

Service commitment is not consistent from store to store.

This could be related to staff as the turnover rate of the


employees is very high which explains why they lack
motivation.

Other weaknesses include a small menu list, an increasing


operational cost of franchise etc.

3.1.2

Finance and Accounting Skills and Resources

A SUBWAY stores start-up costs are exceptionally low for a


franchise of the size and stature and franchisees can often
purchase dependable outlet equipment through the SUBWAY
brands purchasing power. In fact, in some cases, traditional
SUBWAY outlets can be opened for as little as c. 100,000.
The total initial investment will depend on many factors
including location, rent, outlet size and equipment. The franchise
agreement is for 20 years and renewable for 20 years (subject to
terms and conditions).
An important consideration in purchasing first SUBWAY
outlet is how to finance investment. A good arrangement is to have
50% of the total capital requirements available in cash and
sufficient collateral to obtain funding for the balance. Below are
links to lenders that can offer support.
Royalties and fees paid to the SUBWAY brand are based on
gross sales minus sales tax. The royalties are 8% to the
SUBWAY brand. A 4.5% advertising fee is paid to the 'Franchisee
Advertising Fund (FAF)'. Franchisees in some markets may vote to

Global Marketing

79

International Business Administration


Group of Bclass

Batch 2010

increase the marketing fee percentage for local advertising


purposes.
The franchise fee of 10,000* for outlets is one of the lowest
on the market, despite the size of the chain.
One reason the costs are so low is that SUBWAY outlets
feature a very simple operation. No cooking is involved so
franchisees dont have to invest large sums in expensive grills and
fryers. Also, the dcor package is streamlined so that money isnt
wasted on non-recoverable assets.

3.1.3

Production/Operation/Technical Skills and Resources

Subway offers customers a wide selection of sandwiches also


called subs. Sandwiches are always freshly baked, and
customers can choose if they want their sandwiches toasted or
non-toasted. There are two different sizes of sandwiches, a six
inch. (15 cm) and a foot long (30 cm). Subway also serves soft
drinks along with the sandwiches. Cookies, chips, coffee and
chocolate can be ordered as accompaniments.
There are four types of bread to choose from, the Italian
white bread, the honey oat bread, the parmesan/oregano bread
and the 9-grain wheat. The 9-grain bread is the only bread, which
contains animal product if honey is considered an animal-derived
ingredient. Wheat free bread cannot be found in Danish Subways.

Global Marketing

80

International Business Administration


Group of Bclass

Batch 2010

All of the breads are milk free except the parmesan/oregano bread,
which contains cheese. (Subway menu 2009)
There is a specific order to the ingredients placed on a
Subway sub, which must be adhered to unless the customer
requests otherwise. The cheese goes on the sub first. Then the
meat (obviously the meat is excluded for vegetarian subs) is placed
on top of the cheese. Sauces such as mustard and mayonnaise go
above the meat. Vegetables go on next. The order to prompt a
person for "veggies" is: hot or mild peppers; pickles, peppers,
olives; lettuce, onion, tomato. Finally on the layer of vegetables are
applied the other condiments: oil, vinegar, salt, pepper. The lid to
the sandwich is situated on top. If the comestible is of the foot-long
variety, then it is cut in half before serving. Finally, the edible piece
of art is wrapped in paper and delivered to the customer.
The only thing left to do after making sandwiches is
preparation work. Employees must have all of the ingredients that
compose

sandwich

prepared

beforehand.

However,

the

ingredients have often been prepared by another employee on an


earlier shift. The workers must also keep the store in a clean and
orderly condition. The process involved in this is not difficult, as
usual. One preparatory activity is the washing of dishes. This falls
under the large category of unskilled labor. Other preparation jobs
include: cooking meatballs; cutting up onions, green peppers,
tomatoes; baking bread and cookies; distributing certain meats into

sweeping and mopping the floors. At first, this might seem a bit
overwhelming.

Organization and General Management Skills and


Resources

Subway is an American restaurant franchise that primarily sells


submarine sandwiches (subs), salads, and personal pizzas. It is
owned and operated by Doctor's Associates, Inc. (DAI). Subway is
one of the fastest growing franchises in the world with
approximately 34,003 restaurants in 95 countries/territories as of
February, 2011. It is the largest single-brand restaurant chain
globally and is the second largest restaurant operator globally after
Yum! Brands (35,000 locations).
Subway's main operations office is in Milford, Connecticut,
and five regional centers support Subway's growing international
operations. The regional offices for European franchises are
located in Amsterdam, Netherlands; The Australia and New
Zealand locations are supported from Brisbane, Australia; the
Middle Eastern locations are supported from offices located in
Beirut, Lebanon; the Asian locations from Singapore and India and
the Latin America support center is in Miami, Florida. In the UK and
Ireland the company hopes to expand to 2,010 restaurants.
In this system, employees report not only to a functional
manager but also to a project team leader or a product manager
with regard to product issues. A key feature of the matrix structure

Global Marketing

84

International Business Administration


Group of Bclass

Batch 2010

is this dual reporting, which violates a traditional principle of


establishing reporting relationships. This radical step is taken
because the special expertise of the functional worker is deemed
essential to the success of the project or product. The assignment
may be temporary or long term, depending on the nature of the
project.
The key to a robust design of this organizational performance
measurement process lays in its alignment with other two other
very important elements. These are the organizations strategy and
its rewards and compensation policy. This is a crucial consideration
as this measurement process should be revised whenever there is
a change in the strategy or a shift in the policy as to rewards and
recognition.

3.1.6

Profitability and Growth

The success of the project can be measured by profitability of the


branch in the first year of the opening. This time scale is adequate
because it will allow for time for customers to become regulars and
for the brand awareness to spread. A whole year is needed to
measure the success of the store because as the seasons chance,
so do people's habits so there will be fluctuations in consumer
spending patterns, for example right before Christmas when lots of

people will go out to buy presents they may also buy a sandwich
while they are in the area so sales may increase.

development of the quick service restaurant industry.

Summary of Competitive Advantage (Elucidate)


Here are the competitive advantages that we offer to the
customers:
Its healthy Menu. The salads and sandwiches appeal much
more to the people as compared to fried chicken, burgers,
fries and pizzas. With its advertising and promotion, Subway
has long been highlighting its healthy food in advertising and
promotions and with the passage of time, it has established
itself as a healthy brand.
Traditional locations. Subway restaurants can be found in
more than 4,000 non-traditional locations such as food
courts, health clubs, hospitals, universities, amusement
parks or just about anywhere. In fact, Subway restaurants
can

even

be

found

in

automobile

showrooms

and

Laundromats! This global presence is indeed a sustainable


advantage for Subway and needs to be managed properly.
Subway's fresh food is also a competitive advantage
because unlike its competitors like McDonald's it allows its

Global Marketing

89

International Business Administration


Group of Bclass

Batch 2010

franchisees to choose their own food suppliers, to ensure


they can access the freshest ingredients.
The SUBWAY brand is involved with various civic,
educational, and charitable organizations such as the United
Way, March of Dimes, Habitat for Humanity, and Junior
Achievement. The SUBWAY brand also partners with the
American Heart Association and the American Red Cross on
initiatives such as sodium reduction to make our healthy
menu options even healthier.
Food safety. All SUBWAY restaurants follow our Gold
Standard policies regarding prepared food and produce
manufacturing and inspection specifications. All franchises
are provided with information on proper food handling
procedures in order to properly train their crew members.

combination of ingredients we offer. Consider those varieties

Strategic Objectives

3.2.1

Recommendation (mode of Entry)

Batch 2010

In order to open this business, Subway restaurants in Indonesia,


We have chosen the franchising strategy. All of subway restaurant
in the world used this strategy to open its new market in new
country, because this strategy (mode) is the most famous strategy
for nowadays.
Franchising itself is the practice of using another firm's
successful business model. The word 'franchise' is of Anglo-French
derivation - from franc - meaning free, and is used both as a noun
and as a (transitive) verb. For the franchisor, the franchise is an
alternative to building 'chain stores' to distribute goods that avoids
the investments and liability of a chain. The franchisor's success
depends on the success of the franchisees. The franchisee is said
to have a greater incentive than a direct employee because he or
she has a direct stake in the business.

3.2.2

Justification (For Mode of Entry)

The reason why we choose franchising as our entry mode,


because franchising is a business model which has the key benefit
(risk minimization). All studies, measured of the percentage of
success of starting up new company, confirm this thing. Starting up

Global Marketing

91

International Business Administration


Group of Bclass

Batch 2010

a new business is extremely risky thing. The competition on market


is not liberal to the newcomers that all statistics show that more
than 90 percent businesses fail within three years. Failing in
business can be a terrible experience.
The franchising business model is a guarantee of
success. New franchise business mostly has success and failure
usually caused because the franchisee did not follow all the
corporate guidelines.
Getting a franchise business makes less concern because all
investments can be carefully researched prior to any major
payments. It is extremely hard to calculate all aspects of the new
business, no matter how much research we're doing. But with a
franchise, the franchisor can give any information about the
business - from how to perform an advertising campaign, to the
best design of online store.
In brief, the main reason and motive to be a franchisee, in
opposite of starting up a non-franchise business, is to reduce risk
and increase our chances of success.

3.2.3

Establishment of Strategic Objectives and Priorities

We know what the company wants, how the company plans to do


it, and what they as employees need to do to accomplish these
goals. It makes the employees feel like they are all part of a unit

Global Marketing

92

International Business Administration


Group of Bclass

Batch 2010

working towards a common objective. This can have a positive


influence on work production because employees feel responsible
to reach the goal.
We are able to use these objectives to make decisions
with consistent outcomes in order to fulfill these objectives. This
helps steer us in the direction we wants to go, and reduces
complications due to other interests.
The Subways mission statement says Delight every
customer so they want to tell their friends. This relates to the
objective of the company because it shows the company wants its
reputation to grow and lead towards being the number one ranked
quick service restaurant. This mission statement also relates to
Subways tactics because it says Great value through fresh,
delicious,

made-to-order

sandwiches,

and

an

exceptional

experience. Both mission statement and tactics say they use fresh
and delicious food in order to become a more popular quick service
restaurant. So in order to fulfill the subway main objective, we have
to strive to be the most popular quick service restaurant in this
country also, but still consider about the quality of our products. We
concern more about the downstream strategy that focuses on
customer satisfy. When we will open this business is how we
maintain the positive influence on the society. The reason because
the good influence in society can increase our sales and improve
our customers in this country.

Key Targets to be reached

We have the simple target that is to bring customers into the stores
and keep them coming back. In other words, we want to make all
potential customers aware of our products, convince them to try it,
and by providing good value, and great fresh food, turn them into
regular satisfied customers. That is our primary target to reach the
high profit from this business by increase our customers.
Our companys next target also wants to expand our
business in future. Someday we have long term goal that we will
open this business in whole Indonesia. But for now, we just focus to
open and maintain the local store, especially in our region
(Manado). As the new entry in this franchise business, we are in
learning process, so we just strive to run business as well as we
can. Percentage of profits that we want to reach about 20-25%
profit is very possible, 35% is very unlikely.

3.2.5

Person Responsible

In making of this Global Marketing Plan in team form that consists


of 4 members, all of us have the responsibility to maintain and run
this business well. These are the members list:

Major Risks and Countermeasures

List of major risks when running this franchising business and a few
solutions to counter it.

Global Marketing

95

International Business Administration


Group of Bclass

1.

Batch 2010

The requirement to pay the franchise fees and royalty to the


franchisor, which in some cases can be exaggerated. In order
to solve this risk, first we can use our own capital or we might
owe money from another party (bank).

2.

The transfer of all goodwill built in the local market to the


franchisor upon expiration or termination of the franchise
contract.

3.

The necessity of abiding by the franchisors operating


systems, standards, policies and procedures.

4.

Reduced corporate profit margin due to payment of royalties


and levies.

5.

When our customer begins bored to our products, then they


feel unsatisfied. To counter this risk, we can use some
strategy such as create some new products and also new

Cost and Benefit Projections

Subway offers an equipment leasing program available to all


franchisees in the United States (not including Puerto Rico, but
including Guam), except those who own an existing restaurant that
is not in compliance with the Operations Manual. Subway deems
the equipment lease to be a true lease and not a financing lease.
Subway offers to finance $10,000 of the initial franchise fee under
its minority loan program for qualified franchisees purchasing their
first franchise at the full franchise fee in the USA only. Subway also
offers finance programs for leased space and construction
programs through Subway affiliates, and may loan money to
franchisees in connection with a Subway restaurant. In addition,
Subway may guarantee a loan for a franchisee in connection with a
Subway restaurant. Subway may change or eliminate these loan
programs and equipment leasing program without any prior notice
to franchisees.
Term of Agreement and Renewal:
The length of the franchise term is 20 years, with the exception of
the School Lunch program with a term of 5 years. The franchise will
automatically renew for additional 20 year periods, unless either
party chooses not to renew. The renewal term for the School Lunch

Strategic Controls

By considering ways to grow, there are four possible productmarket combinations. Subway expands with its existing products to
new markets (Market development). This happens through the
franchisees to whom Subway offers an easy concept. Subway is
not looking for new markets or places to open restaurants, the
franchisee contacts Subway.
In order to control all strategic including strategic objective
and key target to be reached, we have to make some strategic
control plans to evaluate all the objective that have been set up.
There are four types of strategic control:
Premise Control

Global Marketing

International Business Administration


Group of Bclass

Batch 2010

Every strategy is based on certain planning premises or


predictions. Premise control is designed to check methodically and
constantly whether the premises on which a strategy is grounded
on are still valid
Special Alert Control
A special alert control is the rigorous and rapid reassessment of an
organization's strategy because of the occurrence of an immediate,
unforeseen event. An example of such event is the acquisition of
our competitor by an outsider. Such an event will trigger an
immediate and intense reassessment of the firm's strategy
Implementation Control
Implementing a strategy takes place as a series of steps, activities,
investments and acts that occur over a lengthy period. As a
manager, should mobilize resources, carry out special projects and
employ or reassign staff. Implementation control is the type of
strategic control that must be carried out as events unfold. There
are two types of implementation controls: strategic thrusts or
projects, and milestone reviews

Strategic Surveillance

Strategic surveillance is designed to observe a wide range of


events within and outside your organization that are likely to affect
the track of your organization's strategy. It's based on the idea that
we can uncover important yet unanticipated information by
monitoring multiple information sources.

Review Process and Period

Every year, we are going to review our franchising business


progress and performance about 3 times per year. So every 4
months we are as the person that has responsibility in this business
have to review the progress. We do the 3 times per year because
according to us that every 4 months there will be a something in our
financial and marketing management should be review and
evaluate.
