    MEW- /'ICl/7 MAGR /4)S0 GOVS NS 1250 WPS-29:he U.S. Food and Tobacco Manufacturing Industries: Market Structure, Structural Change, and Economic Performance John M. Connor United States Economics, Agricultural Department of Statistics, and Economic Agriculture Cooperatives Service Report No. 451 THE U.S. FOOD AND TOBACCO MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES: MARKET STRUCTURE, STRUCTURAL CHANGE, AND ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE. By John M. Connor, National Economics Division; Economics, Statistics, and Cooperatives Service; U.S. Department of Agriculture. Agricultural Economic Report No. 451.. ABSTRACT The major conclusions the National Commission on Food Marketing made in 1966 about trends in the industrial organization of the U.S. food manufacturing industries are still valid. Company numbers are declining, average market concentration is among the highest in the manufacturing sector and is rising, product diversification has risen, food advertising has more than doubled, and the profitability of very large firms has remained higher than that of smaller firms., Foreign investment is substantial and rapidly growing, most food media advertising is on TV, profit rates have risen by over 50 percent in the last 25 years, and the monopoly overcharge on processed foods is about 10 percent. Keywords: competition, food manufacturing, tobacco manufacturing, industrial organization, market structure, performance, monopoly, oligopoly, conglomerate firms The names of proprietary firms and brand names are used in this publication to report facts on available data. The Department neither guarantees nor warrants these names and products and implies no approval of the products to the exclusion of others which may also be suitable.

Distributor negotiations, transportation costs and heavy competition from big-dollar brands are but a few of the challenges. Premixed Cocktails – Then and Now •• 11 by Mark Newman The notion of “premixed cocktails” can evoke memories of the 1980s, wine coolers and slightly odd malt-liquor concoctions. However, ready-made cocktails originated almost 140 years ago—and innovative iterations continue to take hold. Copyright © 2014 VIRGO Publishing, LLC. All rights reserved.

    Week 4 Case Study Copyright © 2017 by University of Phoenix. All rights reserved. FIN/486 Version 6 1 KFC and the Colonel* Introduction The story of Kentucky Fried Chicken is the story of Colonel Harland Sanders. The “Colonel,” however, was not a real colonel and Sanders was not even a Kentucky native. He was, nevertheless, a prime example of the resiliency of the human spirit because he demonstrated that, even at 66 years of age, after a series of financial fiascoes, it is still not too late to become a business success and a millionaire. After having lived in obscurity during the first six decades of his life, his benign, bewhiskered countenance became the best-known living advertising symbol throughout the world. Although he was often tough and curt with his employees and associates, he loved children and he donated much of his time and fortune to helping young people. Unpredictable and sometimes erratic in his personal and business dealings, he was unfailingly dedicated to hard work and to the perfection of details. Active until December 1980, when he died at the age of 90, he was a living example of his own philosophy, “A man will rust out faster than he’ll wear out:” this was Harland D. Sanders, the kindly curmudgeon who founded Kentucky Fried Chicken. Harland Sanders was born in Henryville, Indiana, a small town about 17 miles north of Louisville, Kentucky. When he was five or six years old his father died, leaving his mother to raise him and two younger children. What appeared to be a disaster prepared Harland for his future success, because as the oldest child in the family Harland had to take over some of the duties of the household, including some of the cooking.

  • Introduction: History
    Introduction: KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) is a fast food restaurant chain headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, United States, which specializes in fried chicken. An "American icon", it is the world's largest fried chicken chain and the second largest restaurant chain overall after McDonald's, with over 17,000 outlets in 105 countries and territories as of December 2011. KFC was founded by Harland Sanders, who began selling fried chicken from his roadside restaurant in Corbin, Kentucky during the Great Depression. Sanders was an early pioneer of the restaurant franchising concept, with the first "Kentucky Fried Chicken" franchise opening in Utah in the early 1950s. Its rapid expansion saw it grow too large for Sanders to manage, and he eventually sold the company to a group of investors. Despite this, his image was still used as branding (as "Colonel Sanders"; Sanders had been made a Kentucky colonel after the success of his initial restaurant), and he worked as a goodwill ambassador for the company until shortly before his death. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, KFC had mixed success at home as it went through a series of corporate owners who had little or no experience in the restaurant business, although it continued to expand in overseas markets. In the early 1970s, KFC was sold to the spirits firm Heublein, who were taken over by the R.J. Reynolds conglomerate, who sold the chain to PepsiCo. PepsiCo spun off its restaurants division (also including Pizza Hut and Taco Bell), as Tricon Global Restaurants, which later changed its name to Yum! Brands. KFC has been the target of an ongoing campaign by the animal rights organization PETA, although KFC executives have protested that the chain is unfairly singled out for criticism.

  • KFC's Sustainable Competitive Advantage in the International
    Journal of Business Cases and Applications Volume 23 KFC’s sustainable competitive advantage in the international franchising Kofi A. Bediako University of the Incarnate Word ABSTRACT KFC, a food chain restaurant has been a significant player in the food industry both in the united states and across the globe for several decades. The food chain restaurant is now part of Yum! brands, a big umbrella which operates restaurants like Pizza Hut, Taco bell etc. with its headquarters in Louisville, Ky which is KFC’s birthplace as well (KFC, 2012). KFC can now boast of over 20,000 restaurants in the united states and internationally in more than 123 countries. More than 12 million customers are served in the KFC restaurants each day making it among the most patronized food chain restaurant in the world. As America’s 3rd largest quick- service restaurant, the restaurant giant has entrenched itself into the American culture and has won over very loyal followings in the populace both in the u.s and around the world. KFC’s sustainable competitive advantage lies in its adherence to the product and service differentiation and market recognition of specialization (Guide, 2006). KFC is a leader in the industry’s contribution to the professionalism of management, innovation with cutting edge process of preparing food effectively and efficiently. KFC tends to be increasing the scale of business and development in its international market by utilizing both the cost leadership and differentiation strategy not to mention its corporate social responsibility which has enabled them to garner sustainability (Porter, 1998).

  • Creativity, Innovation and the Moscow Mule
    Creativity, Innovation and the Moscow Mule Leadership Cocktail with Jeff Hannah A particularly lively discussion has attempted to distill the distinction between creativity and innovation. Some have suggested that while creativity refers to invention and new ideas, innovation is the implementation of those ideas. The best of each is embodied in the Moscow Mule, the drink credited with launching the vodka craze in this country. And quite simply, one of our favorite stories! This cock-tale begins in the pre-WWII era, when vodka was a poor-selling spirit imported from Russia, a country we already had our suspicions about. First, let’s start on the West Coast. At that time, the proprietor of the Cock 'n Bull tavern on LA’s Sunset Strip – one Jack Morgan – was launching a sideline business selling ginger beer. When his brew received a lukewarm response in the Los Angeles area, Morgan sent a shipment to the East Coast in 1941. As his ginger beer was headed east, Jack Morgan likewise traveled to New York City. Once there, he arranged a special meeting at the Chatham Hotel with the president of Heublein Bros. distributors and the head of Heublein's Smirnoff vodka division. As the evening progressed, the 3 men pondered ways to simultaneously market their products; at one point, the bartender was asked to mix two ounces of vodka on ice with Morgan's ginger beer and a squeeze of fresh lime. And lo, creative magic! A few rounds of the refreshing concoction ensued – quality assurance, shall we say – and the cocktail was christened the “Moscow Mule.” New recipe in hand, Jack Morgan returned to the City of Angels, determined to promote the Moscow Mule.
