Self-Analysis
According to the Arkansas Small Business Development Center, most small businesses fail because of poor management and the owner’s inability to manage resources. Before you even start researching the feasibility of your idea and the market you plan on entering, evaluate your own talents, desires and goals. Consider your willingness to take risks as well as the amount of time and energy you’ll need to make the business a success. Review your financial, personnel and marketing skills as well to ensure you have the necessary background to make a success of your new venture.

Financial Components
After learning about the investment required to purchase the existing business or franchise or the start-up costs you’ll need initially, evaluate your own resources. Part of a financial assessment includes the amount you have in personal savings to add to the initial investment. Banks typically require entrepreneurs to come up with a portion of the investment to show good faith and willingness to take a risk with the lender. Assess the financing available through the seller, investors and lenders when evaluating your chances of succeeding.

Market Research
To thoroughly understand what you’re getting into, perform an extensive market research project to determine the feasibility of your business. In addition to gleaning statistics of trends and current customer buying patterns, you need to know who your customers are, where they are located and what kind of competition exists in your area. Consider market research your first steps in opportunity analysis that help you understand exactly how you will sell products or services to a specific market.

Support
Finally, evaluate the amount of support you expect to receive from your family and the community.

Back in 2015, McDonald’s was struggling. In Europe, sales were down 1.4% across the previous 6 years; 3.3% down in the US and almost 10% down across Africa and the Middle East. There were a myriad of challenges to overcome. Rising expectations of customer experience, new standards of convenience, weak in-store technology, a sprawling menu, a PR-bruised brand and questionable ingredients to name but a few.

McDonald’s are the original fast-food innovators; creating a level of standardisation that is quite frankly, remarkable. Buy a Big Mac in Beijing and it’ll taste the same as in Stratford-Upon Avon.

So when you’ve optimised product delivery, supply chain and flavour experience to such an incredible degree — how do you increase bottom line growth? It’s not going to come from making the Big Mac cheaper to produce — you’ve already turned those stones over (multiple times).

The answer of course, is to drive purchase frequency and increase margins through new products.
Numerous studies have shown that no matter what options are available, people tend to stick with the default options and choices they’ve made habitually. This is even more true when someone faces a broad selection of choices. We try to mitigate the risk of buyers remorse by sticking with the choices we know are ‘safe’.

McDonald’s has a uniquely pervasive presence in modern life with many of us having developed a pattern of ordering behaviour over the course of our lives (from Happy Meals to hangover cures). This creates a unique, and less cited, challenge for McDonald’s’ reinvention: how do you break people out of the default buying behaviours they’ve developed over decades?


In its simplest sense, the new format is designed to improve customer experience, which will in turn drive frequency and a shift in buying behaviour (for some) towards higher margin items. The most important shift in buying patterns is to drive reappraisal of the Signature range to make sure they maximise potential spend from those customers who can afford, and want, a more premium experience.
