  • Social Media and the Burger King Brand
    Case #6-0025 Social Media and the Burger King Brand Russ Klein took the position of President of Global Marketing, Strategy, and Innovation at Burger King Corporation (―BKC‖) in 2003. It was a difficult time for the company. Sales and profits were down. Franchisees were unhappy. The BURGER KING®* brand had lost its edge; the vast majority of consumers were aware of the Burger King brand but no longer found it interesting or compelling. BKC as a company needed a turnaround, and had just been purchased by a private equity group. Klein‘s mission was to rejuvenate the Burger King brand and rebuild relevance to the consumer as part of a major revitalization of the company. What followed was a series of strategic decisions and innovative, risky marketing campaigns that would breathe life back into the brand and win awards for BKC and its agency Crispin Porter and Bogusky (CP+B). Many of the innovative marketing tactics used by BKC relied on interactive, digital media channels. The most talked about of these initiatives was a website called ―The Subservient Chicken.‖ This website, launched for very little money and with little fanfare, became an internet phenomenon, attracting hundreds of millions of visitors and winning various awards for its ingenuity as a viral marketing campaign. BKC went on to establish highly trafficked Burger King branded MySpace pages, special programs where users could create their own Burger King ads online, and other non-traditional marketing programs. By early 2006, BKC was known as an innovator in content driven marketing and the creative use of social media.

  • Burger King Is the World´S Second Largest Fast Food Hamburger Restaurant (FFHR) Company
    1. CASE BACKGROUND: Burger King is the world´s second largest fast food hamburger restaurant (FFHR) company. The BKW system includes over 12,600 restaurants in the U.S. and more than 80 other countries worldwide, with 95% of the system currently operated under a franchised business model. Burger King Corporation was founded in 1954 in Miami, Florida, by James McLamore and David Edgerton. McLamore and Edgerton, both of whom had extensive experience in the restaurant business before starting their joint venture, believed in the simple concept of providing the customer with reasonably priced quality food served quickly in attractive, clean surroundings. The success and size of Burger King Corporation is the result of a tradition of leadership within the fast-food industry in such areas as product development, restaurant operation, decor, service, and advertising. At the end of its fiscal year 2007, Burger King reported that there are more than 11,300 outlets in 69 countries, 66% are in the United States and 90% are privately owned and operated. The company has more than 37,000 employees serving approximately 11.4 million customers daily. The company's two largest franchisees are Carrols Corporation with over 325 restaurants in United States, and Hungry Jack's, which exclusively owns, operates or sub-licenses over 300 restaurants in Australia. In 2010, 3G Capital, a global multi-million dollar investment firm focused on long term value creation, purchased Burger King Corporation, making it a privately-held company. The buyout marks the largest leveraged acquisition of a fast-food chain ever, and the second for Burger King in the last eight years.

  • Fast Food Industry in USA
    AN EXPLORATION OF ETHICAL ISSUES IN U.S. FAST FOOD INDUSTRY Dr. C.Venkata Ramana 1, Dr. Balaji D 2 1, 2 Assistant Professor, SIBM-H, Hyderabad (India) ABSTRACT The fast food segment of the restaurant industry has grown very large in many parts of the world, especially in USA and UK. Although fast food restaurants offer many advantages to customers in terms of service and availability, the industry is creating many problems to the society. The present study explores the business practices of the fast food industry with a focus on human resources issues. Some of the important issues explored in the study include ‘occupational safety’, ‘public health’, ‘service at fast food restaurants’, and ‘perception about the fast food industry’. The article also discusses some ethical issues associated with the fast food industry. The author concludes that the problems associated with the fast food industry can be solved if the firms make appropriate changes in their business practices. Also by virtue of the high profit margins enjoyed by firms in the fast food fast industry, fast food restaurants can deliver products and services of superior quality to consumers at a reasonable price. The author connotes some recommendations aimed at eliminating the problems plaguing the fast food industry. Keywords: Fast Food, Ethics, Violations, Work Place, Restaurants. I.
