Defining the problem
After PepsiCo acquired KFC RJR Nabisco, KFC faced some difficult parent-
subsidiary relationship. They follow different types of organizational culture
than KFC.KFC’s strategy was longer relationship with employees and behave
like a family member but PepsiCo depends more on performance if don’t do
well they don’t hesitate to sack their employees. Employees were always in a
threatening position from where it was tough to provide better service.
KFC’s offerings were relatively limited before PepsiCo purchased them, after
PepsiCo purchased them, they came up wider variety of food where some
were not successful .That
means they had a problem
with their offerings .They did
not differentiated their
offerings for different
targeted segments .They
were not as fast as their
competitors to build
restaurants, means they had
problem in delivery channels.
They were only in fried
chicken market this is also a
problem so their competitor
were getting advantage in non fried chicken. Health issue was another
problem.
Franchising problem was that they were not maintaining distance that they
maintained between franchiser and their own outlets .They did not able to
deal with franchiser uniformly.

largest fast-food chain.

RJR Industries. Sweeping changes into the culture was initiated by the new
management- this brings about demoralization to old KFC employees and
even franchisees.

Advertising
Page11
The logo of the smiling Colonel is probably one of the most recognized faces in
the world and instantly brings the image of fried chicken to one’s mind.
• KFC and its new company jingle, “finger licikin good” is a frequent
announcement on televisions, billboards, flyers and radio. The concept
of showing a normal customer deeply involved in devouring his piece of
chicken usually turns on the drool factory in everybody’s mouth and
makes them rush to the nearest KFC. Using the following methods KFC
spreads its message of finger licking good chicken.
Sales Promotion
• Premiums
• Exhibits
• Coupons
• Entertainment
Events
• Training
• Promotion
Contingency Plan
Short-term:
First, they need to have a clear vision, solve the internal issues and get
some cash in order to make sure that they are strong as a company and
ready to compete internationally before going ahead with their
expansion project.
Based on the analysis, we can conclude that they should start by solving
their internal issues such as management and restaurant menu before
thinking about expanding.
They also need to make sure that their restaurants offer a diversified
menu, provide their customers with quality food, excellent service and
restaurant cleanliness.
Page11
KFC should always listen to their customers and try to follow the new
trends on the market in order to fully satisfy their customers. Otherwise,
competitors will satisfy them and will eventually outperform you as
Boston did with its grilled chicken.
Long Term
They need to stay close to their mission (provide customers with quality
food, excellent service and restaurant cleanliness) and make sure to
know how to achieve their long-term objectives. They also have to keep
innovating and coming up with new items regularly. Remember that
even though, they come up with similar products, customers are most
likely going to try them.
They also have to follow the trend and go hand in hand with customers
to satisfy their changing needs, as we have previously discussed with
the current healthier food trend. They also want to keep an excellent
image by treating employees fairly and keeping a good control over
franchises to make sure they follow the company’s procedures.
