This dissertation aims to answer whether or not KFC has a competitive advantage in the Chinese Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) sector. KFC was the first Western fast food chain to enter the Chinese market and achieved a first mover advantage over its closest rival McDonalds. It has used this first mover advantage to develop its internal competencies and has a competitive advantage from its operational efficiencies and its innovations. In order to draw sound conclusions from analysing the company, environment and the market sector, several academic tools have been used. SWOT analysis is used to determine KFC’s strengths and weaknesses and detail the opportunities and threats from the market sector. PESTLE analysis is applied to the business environment to highlight areas of concern for the business. Michael Porter’s five forces analysis is also used to let the reader understand the forces operating in the industry and the current strength of them.

This dissertation examines the appropriateness and effectiveness of KFCs internationalization strategy in helping it to achieve competitive advantage within Chinas fast food market. Unlike internationalization into other Asian countries, China represents a more complex and uncertain environment for foreign firms. This is the result of a very distinctive political, economic and socio-cultural make-up, which has traditionally been hostile to foreigners. This dissertation helps to unravel these complexities, using the SLEPT approach to outline and discuss the international marketing environment facing firms wanting to enter the Chinese market. Here, socio-cultural, legal, economic, political and technological issues help to provide a framework that highlights why some firms are more successful than others. The literature review also focuses on key cross-cultural marketing issues that firms, planning to engage in marketing campaigns in China, need to take into account. These cross-cultural issues cover issues of differing customer needs, individualism versus collectivism, the independent versus interdependent self, institutions, social conventions, habits and customers, as well as language. In the analysis and discussion that follows, the appropriateness and effectiveness of KFCs internationalization strategy in helping it to achieve competitive advantage within Chinas fast food market is assessed in light of the international marketing environment and literature review, already discussed.

Next, a Porters Five Forces analysis of the industry is conducted, illustrating the high levels of competitive rivalry in the industry and the growth of the sandwich market, which poses a real and significant threat to the large burger (McDonalds and Burger King) and Chicken (KFC) fast food outlets. Finally, SWOT analyses of McDonald, Burger King and KFC are performed. This highlights the competitive pressures McDonalds is facing as Burger King continues to eat into its market share by capitalizing on strategic mistakes McDonalds made during the 1990s when the company focused on restaurant expansion to the cost of product and service quality. It also illustrates the opportunity that KFC has to take market share from these major burger companies as a result of the wider PESTLE pressures that they have experienced.
