Preliminary Corporate Analysis Algorithm
What products and markets do this organization supply/serve? What are its business
units?
Today, Jollibee is one of the famous and fast-moving fast food chains in the
world. Jollibee offers a lot of food variety that will surely catch the eye of every
people. They offer chickens, spaghetti, yum burger, fries, etc. with an affordable
price. Aside from offering products and services to the people, the company
operates through the following segments: Food Service, Franchising, and Leasing.
The Food Service segment operates quick service restaurants and the manufacture
of food products to be sold to Jollibee Group-owned and franchised QSR outlets.
Since, Jollibee became a big company it already has its own strategic business
units for them to be able to perform its duty. Its business units are composed of
Manufacturing Division, Logistics Division, Purchasing Division, Technical
Evaluators and Users, Quality Management, Order Management Group,
Corporate Engineering Department, Research and Development Division. By its
business units, Jollibee can be able to perform their duty. In my perception, we
see the food provider mentioned above as they are all competing with one
another, but the fact is, they are group and have one goal only.
Why do its customers choose this business unit's products? What need is being met?
What are the key success factors in this market?
From then to now, customers are choosing business unit’s products that is
affordable yet satisfying. And once the tastes amaze them, customers will
continuously be choosing and buying the same business unit’s products they tried.
Those who grew-up with budget-conscious parents, eating in a fast-food like
Jollibee is something that their parents can squeeze into their budget and because
Jollibee offers meal that is affordable, Jollibee is always on top of the place to go.
Also, Jollibee serves food that captures the Philippine palate perfectly.
Jollibee’s menu is very Filipino but has Westerners’ twist. It’s flagship product
“Chicken joy” is the best tasting fried chicken for most of the Filipinos. Hence,
the tag line “panlasang Filipino at home sa Jollibee” became popular because it
really encapsulated what each Filipinos think about the food served by Jollibee.
Jollibee's business success relies on its smart branding strategy, complemented by
strong customer orientation, superior menu line-up, innovative new products,
creative marketing programs and efficient manufacturing and logistics facilities.
Furthermore, the key success factors in this market includes: the taste of food is
focused mainly on the Filipino audience and the operating system is low cost.
What are the trends in key performance indicators (KPIs) for this business?
1. System Wide Sales – A measure of all sales to consumers both from company-owned and
franchised stores.
3. Net Income Margin – Net Income Margin is the ratio of the Jollibee Group's earnings after
interest and tax. This is computed by dividing net income by total revenues. The quotient is
expressed in percentage. This measures the Jollibee
Group’s return for every peso of revenue earned, after deducting cost of sales, operating
expenses, interests and taxes.
4. Basic Earnings per Share – EPS is the portion of the Jollibee Group’s profit allocated to each
outstanding share of common stock. This is computed by dividing the net income for the year
attributable to the equity holders of the Jollibee Group by the weighted average outstanding
shares during the year, after considering the retroactive effect of stock dividends declaration, if
any. This serves as an indicator of the Jollibee Group’s profitability.
5. Return on Equity – ROE is the ratio of the Jollibee Group’s net income (attributable to equity
holders of the parent) to equity (before non-controlling interests). It is computed by dividing net
income by average equity. Average equity is calculated by adding the equity at the beginning of
the year to the equity at year end and dividing the result by two. ROE is a measure of return for
every peso of invested equity. The Jollibee Group also uses ROE for comparing its profitability
to that of other firms in the same industry.
What resources (assets and competencies) within and around the organization allow
the organization to provide products that customers will buy? To what extent can the
business performance be explained by an understanding of an organization's
resources?
For business organizations, the area requiring attention is profitability, or the need
to acquire resources. Physical resources or physical assets such as production
equipment, storage facilities, distribution centers and employees form the physical
resources of Jollibee allows organization to provide products that the customers
will buy. Technological Resources Jollibee invest on state-of-the-art technology
on their operations systems to constantly train their managers to amidst
competition. Apart from its marketing strategy the organizational culture can be
identified as Jollibee’s key core competencies. Its organizational culture is the
alchemy of many attributes of Jollibee. And therefore, it cannot be easily copied
by its competitors. Organization’s resources are all assets that are available to a
firm for use during the production process and business performance can be
explained by an understanding of an organization’s resources because the types of
business resources will impact the sustainability of the organization along with
its profitability. For example, if the organization achieves double the sales target
decided, and the company starts to grow rapidly, then the company will keep on
growing only if you understand what key resources are and which key resources
are impacting increased demand. The type of resources are human resources,
physical resources, intellectual resources, and financial resources. By knowing the
4 types of resources, it has a chance to interpret the business performance whether
it is resulting good or bad.
What are the characteristics of the markets that this business serves? What are the
factors that exist outside the business unit that impact its ability to provide goods and
services? Can this analysis explain trends in performance indicators?
The characteristics of the markets that the Jollibee serves is made possible by
well-trained teams that work in a culture of integrity and humility, fun, and family
like. Every Jollibee outlet welcomes customers with a clean and warm instore
environment and friendly and efficient service. The factors that exist outside the
business unit that impact its ability to provide goods and services are social,
technological, competitive, and economic. Social affects the business units to
provide goods and service because some of the people has changed their taste.
Technological also has impact on the business units because there are some foods
that are being able to sell online, but, all food business, can adapt technology as
easy as they can. Next thing that has impacts on its business units is competitive,
the impact of a rival firm which may have similar product or which may lower its
prices compared to Jollibee. And lastly, the economic, it affects the Jollibee once
the economic are having inflation rates and unemployment. This analysis can be
explained in performance indicator owing to the fact that the business units will
automatically aware to its performance once there is something change in the
environment and has a huge impact to them. They can easily see their
performance once their sales if it is decreases or increases.
What is the dominant logic that guides this business’s decision-making and
contributions to the way strategy develop?
Dominant logic defined as a mindset or worldview or conceptualization of the
business and the administrative tools to accomplish the business goals and make a
better decision. The main goal of this business is to serve great tasting food and
also bringing joy to everyone who eats to their store. They were able to provide
lower price food for their customers. Due to a number of crucial variables,
Jollibee has been able to establish a strong position in the Philippines fast food
sector. Jollibee had a significant advantage because they were well established in
the market and had a low entrance barrier. The ability to provide lower prices
made Jollibee a dominant force in the fast food market in the Philippines. In
addition, their recipes were tailored to the preferences of the Filipino market and
what clients were already used to. The creation of the "Five F's," which stand for
flavorful food, fun, flexibility, and families, was critical in developing a purpose
and a sort of mission statement. The use of the bee mascot as a marketing technique
helps to establish a link between the company and young people. As a result of their
strategy, they were able to increase their market share and build brand recognition.
Do the business’s key players have a coherent vision of what they want the business to
be in the medium and long term? Are these business ‘ambitions a coherent part of the

Strengths of Jollibee
Customers Loyalty - Jollibee has built a strong database of loyal customers over
the years. It’s because of the consistency of the services that the company has
maintained over time.
24 Hours Service - Jollibee is one of the few companies that provide fast food
services 24 hours a day. Whether it’s early morning or late at night, the brand
would remain open to serve its customers. However, the company hires
employees for multiple shifts and keeps rotating them.
Distribution Network - Jollibee is the largest fast-food chain brand in the
Philippines. According to an estimate, the company has 750 stores across the
country and a total of 1130 stores across the world. However, the company makes
sure that all the stores have enough supply of food to serve customers.
Quality Food - Jollibee offers quality and tasty food to its customers worldwide.
Its unique taste is no less than other global brands. The brand has a secret recipe
for the preparation of its food items. It allows the company to provide the same
quality food everywhere.
Variety - Jollibee offers a variety of food items to its customers and they range
from Spaghetti, hamburger, mouth-watering yum burger, and coffee to tasty
chicken joy. The company follows the successfully tested recipe for the
preparation of all of its food items.
Weaknesses of Jollibee
No Technology - Jollibee is still using the old methods of food cooking; they’re
good but time-consuming and efficient. The company hasn’t adopted the latest
methods of tech automated cooking. It would make the company’s operation
efficient.
Limited Marketing - Jollibee follows a very limited marketing channel for the
promotion of its food items. It’s no doubt Jollibee is a multinational brand. But
not many people have heard of the brand name because of the limited or no
marketing.
Pricy Food - Jollibee charges premium prices for its food items. Many people are
very cautious about price especially when they’re buying food. That’s why they
avoid buying Jollibee’s product because of overpricing.
Say No to Fast Food - A vast majority of people don’t prefer fast food because it
causes obesity and other health issues. The lack of preference of many people
impacts the sale of the company.
What are the opportunities and threats that exist for this business?
Opportunities of JFC
New Products and Services - The brand should branch out into a variety of new flavors.
It should also feature a greater variety of vegetarian options. It should also branch out
into other areas, such as internet services, payment systems, and so on.
Online Market - To increase sales, the company should enter the online market. It
should develop its business online, as this is an excellent way to attract new clients. It
should connect with a variety of social marketing platforms to promote its brand and
entice more customers to buy it.
International Expansion - Jollibee should broaden its international presence. There are
many food aficionados all around the world that enjoy trying new foods from different
regions of the globe. It is well-thought to try authentic food from a given place. As a
result, it should also aim to increase its global market.
Offers new products and continue to innovate - Jollibee needs to keep experimenting
with flavors in order to provide their devoted customers even more reasons to place an
order.
Threats of JFC
Jollibee is a powerful brand that will be able to sustain its dominance in the Philippines if
it continues to adapt and evolve. Despite the rivalry, Jollibee's selling concept is distinct
enough to set them separate from the rest of the country.
They will undoubtedly succeed if they can capitalize on their primary strengths while
addressing their deficiencies. The corporation will undergo a substantial cost-cutting
exercise, according to CEO Ernesto Tanmantiong. Specifically, according to CFO
Ysmael Baysa, 255 stores would close and 95 will transition from corporate to franchise
ownership.
What are the relationships between the individual businesses? Are they supporting,
neutral or disadvantageous?
The relationship between the individual businesses is where the company
assessing if there is a strategic fit between the businesses in the organization
portfolio. This is where the organization is matching its resources and capabilities
with the opportunities in the external environment. And this strategy is vital that
the Jollibee has the actual resources and capabilities to execute and support the
strategy.
What are the factors outside the organization that influence the organization’s
activities?
The factors outside the organization that influence the organization’s activities are
the customers, competition, the economy, technology, political and social
conditions, and the company resources. The same internal factors that lead to an
organization’s success inevitably characterize that organization’s relationship to
the external environment in these broad areas. Once there is a movements or
changes on the said factors the Jollibee will influence its organization’s activities,
and if it affects badly, that is the time the business units of the Jollibee will do
actions and formulate strategy to surpass it.
Strengths
Risk Management
The acquisition of several new brands such as Greenwich, Chowking and
Delifrance allow the diversification of its products into different market niches. It
proved to be a hedge against downturns and competition. Most of the acquisitions
are the leader in their respective market segment.
Weaknesses
What are the opportunities and threats that exist for this organization?
Opportunities
Internal Opportunities:
Employee training
Employees are given extensive training by JFC. Job rotation is practiced by the
management of its service crews and other employees. In addition, the manager
is receiving intensive training in all aspects of the store's operations for just
cases. In some cases, if a crew member is required in a specific region, the needs
can be met quickly because the staff are properly trained.
External Opportunities:
Continiues subsidiaries of other brand that offer enticing food and beverages
choices
Jollibee's expansion of the company and its subsidiaries is one of its opportunities.
Jollibee, Greenwich, Chowking, Red Ribbon, Mang Inasal, Burger King
Philippines, and Yonghe King, Hong Zhuang Yuan, and San Pin Wang are among
the JFC's nine brands. As a result, the company has expanded its menu of food
and beverage options for customers.
Threats
Internal Threats:
Rising operation costs
The constant rise in operation costs is another challenge to the JFC, as well as an
effect of the epidemic. raw resources are rising in quantity from dry to wet. In that
instance, it may have a negative impact on the company, as seen by their
financial.
External Threats:
Increased customers health consciousness
Another threat that the JFC is facing is the growing number of health-conscious
customers not only in the Philippines but around the world. As a result of the
current situation, most people are changing their lifestyles, particularly when it
comes to food. They are often preparing less-preservative and more vegetable
options for their daily viands.
Products/markets
The JFC doesn’t stand as Jollibee alone, but it has subsidiaries (hereinafter
referred to as the “Group”) such as Greenwich, Red Ribbon, Chowking, Mang
Inasal, and Burger King. The group is engaged in the manufacturing of food
products, logistics services, and property leasing in support of its operation. In my
perception, we see the food provider mentioned above as they are all competing
with one another, but the fact is, they are group and have one goal only.
