McDonald’s Cannibalization
However…
Because of its lucrative business,
it caused
cannibalization
Loss of profitability
Campaign 55 was
launched but
failed.
Competition
Focus on expansion
failed to notice its competitors
Other brands overtaken McDonald’s in terms of
customer’s appeal, quality, speed and cleanliness
In 2001 according to the
American Customer
Satisfaction Index Survey,
McDonald’s ranked
almost at the bottom
In 2002
McDonald’s was at a loss for the first
time in 48 years
Store-opening
programmes cut from
1,000 in 2002 to less than
400 in 2003
Solution?
Reduction of price
But it’s not just about the price
Customers look for varieties and
become more health conscious
Some local brands offer
adaptation in local taste
Comparison
In 2004 The Subway brand was only becoming
recognized in the UK. But in the US and Canada it
has overtaken McDonald's as the number one fast
food chain, and sells almost 2,000 sandwiches a
minute from 21,052 outlets in 74 countries. The
holding company's profits are not disclosed as it is
privately owned, although it says global sales in
2002 were $5.7bn (£3.2bn). By 2008 it has become
trendier among teenagers than McDonald’s.
Litigation and Health
McDonald’s has been taken into
court over the allegation that their
food can lead to obesity.

Market Share FFHR 2008
Changes in the customer wants
and needs

• Placing orders through internet is preferred over
telephone, which shows consumers´ inclination
toward convenience.
Health is Wealth: Product: Food
offerings getting healthier due to
consumers´ increasing awareness
Bigger is Better: The size of items
on the menu is becoming bigger

International Marketing
Strategy
By: Vince
International Marketing
Strategy
McDonald's means different things to different
people and doesn't have one brand position.
McDonald’s wants to win
back the hearts of the most
important demographic to
have deserted McDonald's young adults.
International Marketing
Strategy
The first global campaign launched in Sept. 2, 2003:
ich liebe es (Germany)
i’m lovin’ it (US)
c’est tout ce que j’aime (France)
love ko ‘to (Philippines)
c’est ça que j’m (Canada)
вот что я люблю (Russia)
man tas patīk (Latvia)
International Marketing
Strategy
“i’m lovin’ it*” is all about the revitalization of the
McDonald's brand, with a global burst of instant
energy.
Larry Light
Chief Global Marketing Officer
*developed by Heye & Partners in
Unterhaching, Germany
International Marketing
Strategy
“i’m lovin’ it” is the centerpiece of a new
marketing strategy that will connect McDonald’s
with customers highly relevant,
culturally significant ways around
the world.
International Marketing
Strategy
- unprecedented in McDonald’s history as more
than 100 countries unite behind a single brand
message to the customers
- it’s a new way of thinking
about
and
expressing
McDonald’s worldwide brand
appeal to the consumer.
International Marketing
Strategy
Light has the budget for the fire-fight - $1.2B a
year. The bulk of it has gone on TV advertising.
Mcdonald’s also utilized:
-promotions
- public relations
- restaurant merchandising,
- and overall brand
communications initiatives
International Marketing
Strategy
Several of the English language spots feature vocals by
2003 Triple MTV Video Music Award Winner, Justin
Timberlake.
International Marketing
Strategy
Awareness of “i'm lovin' it" in McDonald's top ten
countries is 86 per cent;
89 per cent with young adults
87 per cent among "moms"
-no doubt aided by a menu with
healthier options.
Comparable second-quarter global
sales are up 7.8 per cent (2004), the
biggest Q2 jump since 1987.

Globalization
By: Nina/Mauricio
Globalization
• Globalization means a trend toward
greater economic, cultural, political
and technological interdependence
among national institutions and
economies .
• Reduced barriers lead to freer trade
and flow of goods, capital, people,
services and ideas.
Driving Forces
Falling Barriers to Trade and Investment:
• GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade)
• WTO (World Trade Organization)
• Regional Trade Agreements (NAFTA, EU, APEC, …)
Technological Innovations:
• E-mail and videoconferencing
• Internet
• Company intranets
• Advancement in transportation technologies
Reasons why global strategies sometimes fail
in their objective to achieve a global
marketing advantage:
• Different cultures  people in different
countries don’t have the same ideas and
ideals concerning special topics, no
consideration of local cultural believes
• Resistance by local branches or
governments  increasing militancy of
local trade unions
• Different law guidelines
• Political unrest or war
Rationale behind mega mergers
and major acquisitions:
• Problems from one single company can
shift away due to merging  no longer
fighting the tide but swimming with
it….
• Opening new markets  boosting
customer retention and gaining new
customers in different geographic areas
Rationale behind mega mergers
and major acquisitions:
• Technology advantages  two or
more companies share their knowhow
• Cost advantages  sharing
facilities, know-how and employees
may lead to cost reduction
Problems occurring due to
mega-mergers:
• Eroding of shareholder value
• Loss of organization’s culture due to
integrating into another company
• Detriment of innovation  merged
company may become too inwardlooking
• Disadvantages for workers and
employees
• Worse working contracts
