To analyse the internal environment of an organization it is very much necessary to
evaluate each and every factor with the help of SWOT analysis that are as follows:
Strength
 Brand loyalty is one of the most
important factor that involved in
context of RBNZ they are very well
known in field of franchise they occupy
one of best brands under their roof that
are KFC, Pizza hut and Taco bell that
are one of best players in food and
beverage sector. As consumers easily
trust on the franchise as repeat business
contributors for the top line.
 The another major factors that they are
majorly operated in market of Zealand
and Australia market and franchise of
lot of brands under their roof so they
are economically so much sound that
give stability regarding political and
social expectation with technological
advancement (Brien, Ratna and
Boddington, 2012).
 They are highly technologically
advance that not only increases their
productivity but also profitability. As
organisation focus on majorly
consumer facing technology. With
consumers like to use the phones and
other electronic devices that helps to
make sense by connecting with
Weaknesses
 The major weaknesses of that
consumers gradually become health
conscious and demanding for the items
that are in their food that impact on
their profitability because major their
products are high fat and calorie
contented that are directly related with
two major points of interest.
 The another major weaknesses in front
of them that before the merger Tim
Horton attempt to get presence in
market of USA. As by that
geographical competition rises day by
day that impacted adversely on their
business which directly impact on their
business and level of profitability of
business in gaining important attributes.
 The another areas of weaknesses that in
today's world for an organisation
investing in CSR activities so it takes
too much time and resources to get
desirable outcomes and results and
sometimes after that consumers not
satisfied with them (Crick and Crick,
2015).
 With CSR activities for occurring
sustainability implemented in the

restaurant and their necessary
information.
organisation then employees resist to
adopt changes in positive manner that
majorly impact on their profitability.
Opportunities
 The one of major opportunity in front
of RBNZ that they can enlarge their
menu by offering large no. of products
under one roof as they are specialised
in some category of food so there are
great opportunity in front of them to get
new products with speciality to get
competitive advantage (Pereira, de
Jesus Henriques Correia and Schutz,
2014.).
 By using some new kind of marketing
strategy that helps to reach at large no.
of consumer base because neither of
these business use every large
advertising budget. So it is very
important to get establish into
marketplace by using different
marketing tool (Prayag, Landré and
Ryan, 2012).
 They by investing more time and
money in the social and ethical
activities can attain the loyalty of
consumers.
Threats
 The major threat in front of RBNZ that
they have high level of debt with more
than 10 billion dollar that made their
half of capital structure. With their
major brands operating at the debt level
for some time that is very hazardous for
them.
 AS per the report of company the cost
of food and beverage rise day by day as
per the standard inflation. With the
market of chicken and beef it totally
volatile that impacts on their business.
 The threat in front of RBNZ that they
operate various brands under one roof
that are Carl's Jr, KFC, Pizza hut and
Taco Bell that if any kind of
misconduct happens with these firms
then directly it affect on image of
RBNZ that hinders self interest of an
organisation that are very much
potential to remain always stable in
organisation.
So from the above discussion it has been evaluated that for an organisation before
building plans and policies they have to analyse the each and every important aspect so that gaps
should be eliminated in proper manner so that competitive advantage should be gained. In
context of RBNZ they by using that tool access their major aspects to perform properly.

potential outcomes. After analysing the SWOT analysis organisation can be choose the four
strategies that are as follows:
Rationalisation/ consolidation:
Rationalisation is reorganisation of a firm with objective of enhance their operating cost.
In context of RBNZ they by using that strategy they can easily expand or reduce the company
size, change in policy and alternative options that offered by products.

healthy food and services so that they can easily enlarge business opportunities in positive
manner. So it is one of best strategic option for the RBNZ to remain always sustainable in the
market when they get one of best strategies simultaneously access to respond the issues
regarding sustainability and social responsibility.
Market development:
Market development is one of most important kind of growth strategy which evaluates
the options to develop the new market segments regarding their current products and services. In
context of they can enter into the new market in which they are not present already (Cassidy,
2016). They target non buying customers in current targeted market to remain always
competitive into the marketplace. By using that strategy organisation can enlarge business
opportunities by entering into new market segment that are very much important.
Diversification:
Diversification is an risk management strategy that merges or amalgamate the various
kinds of investments in their portfolio. The growth strategy helps to capitalise the market

With the help of Ansoff matrix organisation they can enlarge business opportunities that

organisation according to their relevant factors that affected on their business. They enter into
new product that helps to bring sustainability by saving environment in positive manner. With

To justify the strategic options by using the RACES framework that are as follows:

goals and objectives in proper manner (Ricciardi And et.al , 2013.). In context of RBNZ they
have enough resource and materials they are a large organisation in which great brands gives
their services so they spend lot of time and resources to conduct research to remain always
competitive in the marketplace. Shares of restaurant hikes by 14% after the flagged of maxi-can

BEST STRATEGIC OPTIONS
To choose one of best strategies and tactics is very much important for an organisation to
build plan and policies accordingly. Product development is one of effective strategy to enlarge
business opportunities. It helps to manage and measure the success factor by adding some new
features in the product portfolio so that emerging needs and demands of consumers should be
compensated in positive manner (Gordon, 2013.). With market development strategy should be
rejected as they are expand in large market space and consumers gradually become more
demanding in market. While entering into market by opening some outlets of healthy food
organisation can face some challenges of failure but by proper planning and their implementation
they can gain organisational goals and objectives in positive manner. Some intended
consequences that face by organisation that is change in market rate, inflation affects on their
business and their consequences on business activities. Sometimes in countries people not favour
the product so there are some kind of unintended consequences face by them (Cordeiro, 2013).
That strategy by building healthy products and services that not harm the environment and
provides sustainability. By evaluating the factors that consisted with that product development
factor that it provides pace by using the game changing strategies and tactics that changes in
consumers taste and preferences to remain always competitive in the marketplace. It give
opportunities that are hidden so with help of research and development organisation can easily
find out the opportunities in market and enlarge business opportunities by finding out major gaps

to perform in best manner. It is one of best worth ful project and give important knowledge and
information that it helps to reach at desirable goals and objectives in positive manner. In context
of RBNZ they develop the new product that are healthy food that are rare in nature to establish
into marketplace (Lewis, Andriopoulos and Smith, 2014). So it has been analysed that for an
organisation find out one of best growth opportunities is plays very important role to remain
always competitive into marketplace. So it should be evaluated that before optimise
opportunities organisation have to evaluate each and every essential factor to get potential
outcomes by observing the taste and preferences of consumers at different regions.
