    KFC is the world's largest chicken restaurant chain with over 5,200 locations in the US and 15,000 globally. However, KFC has faced criticism over its supplier's practices, including improper treatment of chickens and working conditions. PETA accused KFC of animal abuse occurring on its poultry farms due to issues like overbreeding chickens and inadequate welfare standards. While very successful, KFC's business model may only remain sustainable if it addresses these conflicting strategies and stakeholder treatment issues.

    KFC – “Finger lickin’ Good”

    Sec B, 09XQCMA006, MBA 2nd Year


    Individual Internal Assessment
    Assignment
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

    Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) Corporation, based in Louisville, Kentucky, is the world's most
    widespread chicken restaurant chain offering services to more than 12 million customers in 109
    countries all around the world. KFC operates more than 5,200 restaurants in the United States
    and more than 15,000 units around the world.

    Every year more than 1 billion chickens are killed from the chicken farms, meant for KFC. The
    improper breeding of birds combined with improper working conditions of workers and lack of
    ethically efficient operation processes led to improper practices in KFC’s supplier’s poultry
    farms. As a result KFC was accused of animal abuse by PETA, on the supplier’s farm.

    INTRODUCTION

    KFC was founded by Harland Sanders (Sanders) in the early1930s. He started cooking and
    serving food for hungry travelers who stopped by his service station in Corbin, Kentucky, US.
    He did not own a restaurant then, but served people on his own dining table in the living quarters
    of his service station. His business expanded and by 1964, Sanders franchised more than 600
    chicken outlets in the US and Canada. Now customers around the globe enjoy more than 300
    other products from Kentucky Grilled Chicken in the United States to a salmon sandwich in
    Japan.

    KFC has been a brand and operating segment, of Yum Brands since 1997 when that company
    was acquired from PepsiCo as Tricon Global Restaurants Inc.
    DISCUSSION

    KFC was the first fast-food chains to conquer international market they developed one of the
    world’s most recognizable brands. When PepsiCo acquired KFC from RJR-Nabisco in 1986 for
    $841 million, KFC gave the leading market share in the three of the four largest and fastest
    growing segments within the U.S quick-service industry, and it held 49 percent of the $7.7
    billion U.S chicken segment.
    But in the recent years KFC is losing its Market share because a number of criticisms faced
    worldwide:
    - Poor Service by the employees
    - Unethical treatment of Chicken in the farms
    - Conflicting Corporate Strategy
    - Wages and working conditions
    - Lack of Localization Strategy
    - Hygiene

    CONCLUSION

    Thus, companies like KFC, which serves a major population through their fast food services
    should make sure that all its stakeholders behave in a socially responsible way in all its business
    aspects. KFC failed to keep track of its major supplier’s standards on animal welfare and
    environmental related issues, in spite of its claim of having proper welfare guidelines. KFC
    should take strict measures against the unethical practices towards the chicken in its supply chain
    along with mass destruction of Amazon rainforest and should adopt measures to avoid such
    practices in order to give a painless life to the chickens that turn into “Kentucky Fried Chicken”.
    Thus the business model is definitely a success, but would remain sustainable only if the
    conflicting Strategies adopted are revised for its betterment.
