ANALYSIS:
The Kentucky Fried Chicken Corporation is a very successful
company that has grown to be the fast food giant it is today through
good management practices and good planning. Their mission
statement is very clear: recognition is key. They are all about diversity
and helping people growing in any way they can, and focus on
customer satisfaction as well. Their goals include being the best in the
business, which they have definitely accomplished, and focusing on
customer satisfaction as a major part of their environment.KFC desires
to offer good food, comeback value, and customer-focused teams to
consumers throughout the world; they want to have loyal customers
who will come back time and time again to enjoy their food.

As a result of this project, we have learned a lot about the company

about the history and background of KFC as a whole. There is a lot that
goes on in the franchising world that we never really knew anything
about until doing the research that went into preparing for this
project/presentation. KFC’s grand strategy and the organization as a
whole is very impressive; through all this research I (Sally) have gained
a lot of respect and admiration for what they’ve been through to
become the giant, amazingly popular franchising company they are
today.

The Kentucky Fried Chicken Corporation has done an excellent job in

the consumer market, both domestically and abroad. Not only do they
do a wonderful job of planning, organizing, staffing, leading, and
controlling, but they have been very successful at achieving their goals
as well. Having done extensive research on the company and its parent
corporation, I feel like KFC has been pretty successful overall and has
done a good job with hiring and retaining good employees and taking
care of their consumer base in every way possible.
