Interview questions with an owner of the restaurant Kinza Appendix 2. Questions and results of the online survey 1 1 Introduction Lately, restaurant business in Russia was developing with significant pace. Wealth of the population is growing and accordingly is growing a number of potential customers for restaurants. People are visiting restaurants on special occasions, such as celebrations, coming for lunch during the week, meet with business partners, spending time with friends etc. Restaurants are not perceived as something special and luxurious anymore, they are part of our daily life now. The arising of a demand leads to a higher number of those who are ready to meet the demand and offer their service. A lot of new restaurants are opening every year creating a higher competition level on a market. These factors forcing restaurants to act accordingly. Nowadays it is not enough to just serve food, but also to provide a high-level service and create an experience. (Andreeva 2017.) In 2020, restaurant business, as many others faced a very serious challenge caused by COVID-19 epidemic and restrictions that was implemented during the time of it. Restaurants were closed for a continuous period of time, which of course have led to financial loses. In addition to that, the new restrictions on number of customers and working hours have been applied. But those are only the direct factors that influenced the industry. In addition to that, indirect factors have to be taken into consideration, such as decreasing income of the population and increase of the awareness of people to be in crowded places. (Meduza 2020.) So now it is significantly important to create the marketing strategy that will help to overcome the obstacles and not only keep the business profitable but also to increase the profit and loyalty of customers. Marketing strategy is a long-term, forward-looking approach and an overall game plan of any organization or any business with the fundamental goal of achieving a sustainable competitive advantage by understanding the needs and wants of customers. (Baker 2008). Revising the current marketing activities and implementing new strategy can help the company to overcome current obstacles, improve the service and grow the business. Marketing breathes life into the restaurant. Well-planned and conducted marketing will attract visitors to the restaurant. And likely, then they will come back again. Marketing will help to achieve such a state of things that visitors will be satisfied with the company and will bring profit to its owners. (Shock et al. 2003.) It's not enough just to be good nowadays. It is necessary to show the superiority. If the customer who visits the restaurant think that it was “good”, he will probably never come back. The reason is that there are many other good restaurants. But if a customer after a 2 visit describes it as “excellent” it is very likely that he will not only return himself, but also tell other people about how good his visit was. (Shock et al. 2003.) 1.1 Objectives

    Entrepreneurship: Types, Current Trends And Future Perspectives 134 SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS IN THE FUNCTION OF DEVELOPING COMPANY COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE Zvonko Brnjas15 Ivana Tripunoski16 ABSTRACT Competitive advantage is the main goal of a market –oriented company, and the knowledge of environmental factors is the basic condition for its creation. By gaining insight into the structure and development trends of factors of external and internal environment, we create conditions for subsistence, development and creation of competitive advantage. Given the fact that the modern business environment is characterized by a high degree of uncertainty, subsistence and success of the company is primarily determined by the ability of management to create a strategy that, under the given conditions, contribute to achievement of the goals. The information obtained by scanning the external environment and analyses of internal environments are the basis for strategic planning and decision making. The research results in this paper indicate that the business environment in Serbia is not sufficiently encouraging for the development of entrepreneurship. Due to the negative impact of many factors, strategic orientation has been identified as an essential condition for creating a sustainable competitive advantage, companies in Serbia.

  • Conducting a Dynamic Competitor Analysis
    Marko Ruotsalainen Conducting a Dynamic Competitor Analysis A Proposal for Robust CA Toolkit Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences Master’s Degree Industrial Management Master’s Thesis 11 May 2016 Abstract Marko Ruotsalainen Author Conducting a Dynamic Competitor Analysis: A Proposal for Title Robust CA Toolkit Number of Pages 74 pages + 9 appendices Date 11 May 2016 Degree Master of Engineering Degree Programme Degree Programme in Industrial Management Instructors Thomas Rohweder, DSc (Econ), Principal Lecturer Zinaida Grabovskaia, PhL, Senior Lecturer This focus of this study is to propose a robust Toolkit for a Dynamic Competitor Analysis (CA) for the case organization. The case organization’s High Voltage business unit is in fierce completion with multinational stakeholders in Finland. The overall market situation continues to be challenging, and three major global players dominate the high voltage equip- ment market. Due to the pessimistic macroeconomic expectations, the growth potential of the electric industry is expected to continue relatively low worldwide until 2020. Thus, stake- holders continuously compete to guarantee their mid-term and long-term success. The approach that this Thesis suggests is to move away from its current reactive utilization of existing competitor analysis. So far, the responsibility of CA related activities and its anal- ysis have been at the headquarters, while the case organization has supported these activ- ities by collecting basic competitor and market data. The results of the study show that the competitor analysis can be conducted robustly and dynamically if systematically utilized. The word “dynamic” means that the competitor analy- sis is conducted whenever needed and, more importantly, timely.

  • An Approach to Strategic Situation Analysis: Using Models As Analytical Tools
    An Approach to Strategic Situation Analysis: Using Models as Analytical Tools Dr. Rodney Blackwell, Assistant Professor, Troy University, USA Dr. Dianne Eppler, Associate Professor, Troy University, USA ABSTRACT Building competitive advantage begins with a thorough strategic situation analysis that includes understanding both the external and internal business environments. Using established business models as investigative tools and linking them together to enhance their analytical value is proposed in this paper as a method of progressing from strategic situation analysis to competitive advantage. Moreover, internal analyses that result in the identification of distinctive competencies and external investigations that uncover industry key success factors give strategists the means to develop strategies that may achieve competitive advantage. Keywords: competitive advantage, fit theory, strategic analysis. INTRODUCTION The Necessity of Using Analytical Models in Strategic Situation Analysis An underlying assumption of this paper is the necessity of using established business models as analytical tools when conducting a firm’s strategic situation analysis. Models require analysts to examine more thoroughly the multitude of factors surrounding the complexities of comprehensive internal and external analyses (Grant, 2008). When recognizable business and strategic management models are not used to examine macro-environmental, industry, and firm information then analysts lean towards only considering the most superficial evidence available. Not utilizing analytical tools may result is decisions with excessive reliance on hunches and precedent. Strategic decisions must be based on both a thorough analysis and the integration of various internal and external considerations. Methods used for strategic situation analyses may include a variety of business fields from economics and finance to leadership and marketing, and more.
