Recommendation:
From Porter’s Five Forces analysis, we can conclude that McDonald’s facing the influence of
some external factors at different levels. McDonald’s need to implement strategies to address
these external factors and reduce their negative effect.
The results of this Five Forces analysis show that McDonald’s needs to focus mainly on the
strategic issues related to existing competition, customers, and substitutes. These three powers
have a strong force on McDonald’s.
The other two forces (suppliers and the threat of new entrants) are important to the business,
however, it have a weak force on the company.
Thus, McDonald’s must focus on reducing the influence of its competitors and substitutes on
revenues and market share. Also, it needs to be more innovative, so its product innovation
process can be more aggressive. McDonald’s needs to come up with new products that can
attract and bring new customers and retain more customers. In fact, McDonald’s is able to
implement higher quality standards to deal with the forces relate to current and future
competition and substitution.
