Porter’s Big 5 Model

The purpose of conducting Porter’s five forces analysis is to analyze every single aspect of the industry from the intensity of rivalry to the attractiveness of an industry and to identify the most common threats faced by the firms in this industry.’ (Recklies 2007)

Some of the major threats for franchising Dunkin Donuts Bangladesh are as follows:

Figure 1: Analysis of Porter’s Big 5 Model in franchising Dunkin Donuts Bangladesh

Threats of New Entrants

In Bangladesh, threats of entrant as a franchise is relatively high as the brand is already known to the wide range of targeted customers. Nowadays, Bangladeshi people are replacing their tea-drinking habit by coffee drinking which encourages the international as well as the local restaurants to add coffee in their exciting product line. Marketing research showed that, coffee culture is highly influenced by high class and upper class citizens along with the young think tanker in Bangladesh which leads new companies to enter the market. To eradicate the market entry barrier Dunkin Donuts can chose the glocalization strategy along with product differentiation by exploiting economies of scale.

Bargaining Power of Buyers

Although the concept of coffee restaurants in Bangladesh is new but consumers are more concern about price as the country is middle-income –country. In many of the cases ,they prefer to go in local coffee shops or like to have coffee from nearest stores rather than spending more on global brand. Buyers of coffee show a variety of price sensitivities. At the low price end, coffee is often considered a commodity and, accordingly, demonstrates price sensitivity.’(Eselius et al. 1997).

Bargaining Power of Suppliers

In Bangladesh, Dunkin Donuts has to rely on the selected suppliers as the country is not farming coffee bean locally. Currently, the number of coffee lover in Bangladesh is 40% of the total population where the demand of coffee is growing. Since the supply of coffee is determined by the global production so it depends on the weather as well. ‘Coffee is the world second largest traded product after petroleum’ (Kembell et al. 2002). ‘Other factors that affect the bargaining power of suppliers are the condition of the weather and the health of coffee trees for example during winter seasons.’ (Kembell et al. 2002)

Threat of Substitute Products and Services

In the beverage industry any of the company in same industry can play the role of a substitute as customers need change time to time. ‘Other beverage industries can satisfy the customer’s need for a drink, and other food industries can satisfy the customer’s need to eat.’(Kembell et al. 2002). However, ‘though it may be said there is no substitute for a good cup of coffee or coffee beans, coffee bars are beginning to face significant substitution threat in the form of alternative distribution outlets.’(Eselius et al. 1997).

Intensity of Rivalry among Competitors

‘The more concentrated an industry is, the fewer the competitors are, and the more likely that competitors will recognize their mutual interdependence and so restrain their rivalry.’(Simeon 2006)’.Although Dunkin Donuts create strong brand image in the internationally but still as a franchising company in Bangladesh it will face competition where the major competitor would be Gloria Jeans, Second cup coffee and Coffee world.

Long Run Business Plan

Potential market growth

Dunkin  Donuts already following potential market internationally as well as expecting to grasp the market in Bangladesh by using the existing marketing mix and strategy in order to achieve expected return on investment in both short run and long run.

Long run expansion

As like other franchise in Bangladesh, Dunkin Donut planned to expand its business in major cities based on the business performance and consumers preferences. Since the young generation covers major segmented market so business expansion will be more focused on targeting the university cafeteria and corporate houses. The other marketing strategy could be: On-the-Go mobile ordering platform, glocalize the brand by serving different local bakery items as well as adding different local flavours in the donut.

Market Strategy Formulation

Based on the geographic location and demographic segmentation of Dunkin Donuts Bangladesh, the franchisee will go for the following strategy in the long run business operation.

  • Sponsorship-Bangladesh is the land of cricket match and festival all over the year. To target wide range of customers both from existing and new segment, sponsorship an event is the best way.

Example: Sponsorship an international cricket match or local festival is a new way to promote the international brand in franchise country.

  • Public Relations-To build a channel between customers and company, media as well as public relations plays crucial roles. Also it’s free of cost as the media will do everything on behalf of Dunkin Donuts. Additionally, factsheet can be used to build more personal relationship with newspapers.

Product Improvement through Glocalize the Brand

To capture the local market in a long term business Glocalize a brand is the best strategy to reach the potential market. In a global strategy, the corporate level gives strategic direction while local units focus on the local customer differences. (Kotler, 2009).This strategy can only be successful if the consumers are adapting the brand by maintain the balance between different levels of marketing activities. The strategy should be tactical based on the local acceptancy and adaptability of brand. In other words, the concept prescribes that in order to be successful globally, marketing managers must act locally in the different markets they choose to enter.
