influence sector or an economy. The political factor impacting fast food sector can different from
one country to another. There are different regulations developed through government such as
hygiene and food quality, wages etc. It is necessary to FC Burger firm to follow all the
regulations when conducting its food truck business in France.

impact on fast food sector. Healthier alternatives to the foods which costlier as comparison to the
fast food. The food truck can be access the vibrant easy availability of liquidity and financial

operate its business. This factor consists acceptance of the entrepreneurial spirit, gender roles,
traditions, attitude, demographics towards certain services, products and the leisure interests. As
FC Burger will set up the new business that deals in Burger and Smoothies. For influencing the
opinion of people, social media and traditional media both are growing rapidly and FC Burger

Legal factor- Legislations plays a necessary role in country. The government developed
different regulations and company should be follow them in an effective manner. FC Burger has
to include the various legislations before conducting business in France. Different laws, which
FC Burger should be followed, are copyright law, discrimination laws, intellectual property
rights protection, data protection laws etc. The FC Burger should have the certifications about
obtain the hygienic and safe food (Morgan and Barden, 2015).
Environmental factors- Over last decade environmental factors and sustainability are
most necessary for business. Pressure groups and government both are the fast asking company
in order to adhere the environmental standards. Some of environmental factors are climate
change, limiting carbon footprints, insurance policies, safe water treatment etc. In addition to
this, Recycling is most emerging as norm rather than better thing to do in the several economies
(Naylor, 2012). The FC Burger food truck has to develop the different plans in regards to adhere
regulations and meet with expectations of consumers in Technology & Operations sector.
For identifying feasibility of industry, FC Burger can execute the Porter's five-force
model. A tool is mainly used for analysing the competition of business. It draws from the
industrial company economics for derive the five forces that identify competitive intensity and
attractiveness of sector in regards of profitability. It is a model that determines as well as analyse

organisation which can use this kind of model for better understand sector context under which

components and derive competitive position of company within sector. The strategic analyst use
the Porter's five forces in order to understand whether new services or products are profitable in a
proper manner. This model is helpful in check feasibility of FC Burger. It includes different
aspects that FC Burger food truck execute in its business operations in France. Food truck is a
new concept that attract the people through providing its services from one place to another in
10

France. It will sell the Burger and Smoothies with the different variants. It will develop some
uniqueness in its food items and drinks which people will like the most. This will provide the
better experience to customers by providing them better quality of products and provide them the
better experience. The different components of Porter-five-forces mention below:
Bargaining power of customers- Under this, bargaining power of the consumer’s looks
at ability of customers to affect quality as well as pricing of services and products in an effective
manner. When number of customers of specific product is low then in this case they have more
power to impact on quality as well as pricing. When the customers purchase goods in the
minimum quantities then their bargaining power will be low (Celma, Blázquez and López-
Rodríguez, 2013). The factors which impacting this force are concentration of purchaser,
bargaining leverage, dependency on products, price sensitivity, volume of trade and many others.
Bargaining power of customers will be high if they procure large volume of products. In food &
Beverage sector, choice as well as needs of customers are changes rapidly and it will develop the
negative impact on business of FC Burger. FC Burger is a food truck that offering the different
variants of Smoothies and Burgers. In context to this, FC Burger food truck have high power as
customers can able to take services easily without go to restaurants. Due to the high cost of food
items based on customers choice, uniqueness of concept will attract large number of consumers
towards food truck that will aids in generate more revenue as well as profit.
Bargaining power of suppliers- In this, supplier's bargaining power is explained as
market of inputs, the suppliers of components, services, labour and raw materials to company
can be source of the power over firm when there are some substitutes (González-González and
et. al., 2013). It represents an extent to which suppliers can be influence costs. If number of
suppliers will be more then in this case buyers cab switch easily to competition because there is
not supplier who can influence costs as well as exercise control in sector. If in case if supplier is
low then they can push or enhance their cost and can be more powerful. In addition to this,
bargaining power of supplier for the FC Burger food truck is high as it provides the materials for
preparing the food items in France. Therefore, suppliers has power to the demand of food deliver
at the high cost as comparison to the others.
Threat of Substitutes- When consumers can select among many substitute services of
products then businesses are the price taker, identify costs etc. When company will follow the
product differentiation then it can identify ability of the purchasers to switch to competition.
11

Under this, risk is moderate because there are some existing food trucks available in France. On
the other hand, in context to local consumers they are able to get the high quality of food services
at different places (Yetilmezsoy and et. al., 2017).
Threat of new entrants- When barriers to entry in to sector is high then in this case new
business can enter in market hardly because of strong competition and high costs. When barriers
to entry in to sector us low then the new businesses can take the benefits of economies of scale.
This force is Drive Company to an edge as there will always be fear of the new competition and
losing market share. In the Food & Beverage sector, entry of new entrants is high. It will be
disadvantage for FC Burger due to entry of new entrants with innovative ideas (Newman and
Burnett, 2013). In addition to this, new entrants can take up the market through Strom due to
there are not more restriction in this sector.
Competitive rivalry- In high competitive sector, companies can exercise less or there is
not control on costs of services as well as products. In this, main driver is capability and number
of rivals at market place. In this, barriers as well as issues to new entry analyse challenges of
company when they are enter and then leave sector. There is more costs includes in developing
new goods and research the costs. In Food & Beverage industry, competition level is high and
there are some food trucks already available, which sell the different kinds of fast food items in
many areas of France with some uniqueness (Schaffer, Sandau, and Diedrick, 2013).
Through using the Porter's five force model it has been analysed that environment under
which company is working. It is helpful in analysing macro environment of business as in what
are external forces which driving sectors and companies as well. It includes all those forces,
which are not in control of business. The main reason behind using this model is to examining

providing fast food items such as Smoothies and Burgers through Food truck helpful in attract
the more people. It is necessary for the FC Burger to take care the hygiene of food items and
health of people. It will help the food truck to get wider customer base rapidly. There are some of
the potential risk that present in market and impact on the business plan of FC Burger mention
below:
High competition: Rennes is a city of France, which have the different destination
places. There are large number of people come from different countries for visit purpose. It has
enhanced and motivated the young people to invest in business and provide the effective services
to visitors and local people for earning high profit (Nyakerario Misati and et. al., 2012). As there
are some other food truck available from long period of time so for FC Burger there is a high
competition level. It is necessary for FC Burger to deal with the restaurant in an effective or
significant manner.
Solution: To overcome from arisen solution, FC Burger should focus on providing its
food items on lower cost. On the other hand, there is a need to fulfil the demands and needs of
local people so that they can enhance word-of-mouth publicity by localities of France. On the
other hand, it will support the food truck in approaching visitors by experience of the local
consumers related to services or food items provided through FC Burger. It will help in develop
the positive brand image at marketplace (Ping and et. al., 2012).

Rennes is a big city in France and it is one of the main factor that restrict the food truck business
to enhance funds for set up business, conduct marketing activities and hiring the staff members

and many others. For these purpose, there will be requirement of more funds in order to position
new business to provide the different variants of Smoothies and Burgers. On the other hand,
mainly cost will be require for purchasing of the food truck in an effective manner.
Solution: To overcome from arisen challenge or risk, FC Burger should focus on
adopting and conducting the non- expensive activities, which help in support in reducing
financial risks (Schaffer, Sandau and Diedrick, 2013). In context to this, it can keep the fund in
reserve to have proper back up of money for fulfil any need of specific activity related to the

In business plan of FC Burger Food truck business, my main objective
behind idea is to set up a food truck for the purpose of attaining many
benefits and high profit level. In this current research work, I have
analysed that primary and the secondary data collection source are more
effective in collecting the reliable or relevant information for completion
of work in a proper manner. Primary method of data collection is
effective for collecting the primary information because in this data is

gathered for the first time in order to carried out the business operations
in significant way. On the other hand, secondary method of data
collection are appropriate and effective in developing detailed and valid
theoretical framework as I gained better understanding as well as
knowledge about to use journals, books, articles, newspapers etc. in
order to support study. Both the sources of data collection have been
used in proper manner which enable me for develop my view points or
opinion towards feasibility of the project effectively. Apart from this, in
literature review part, I have used some of the better theories for the
purpose of justify my own research on the basis of specific topic. There
are different theories as well as models applied for an investigation
mention below:
Porter's Five Force Model: It is explained as tool for the purpose of
examining competition of business. This model draws from industrial
organisation economies in order to derive the five forces that identify
competitive intensity and also attractiveness of sector in context to
profitability. This theory is based on concept that there are the five
forces that identify competitive intensity as well as attractiveness of
market. The Porter's Five Force Model is generally concern on the five
individual forces which have more affect over operations as well as
development growth of business. In order to conducting this research, I
applied this tool in regards to measuring available competition at market
place that can be affected over operations and activities of FC Burger.
Hence, this model is helpful for me in examining bargaining power of
suppliers or consumers which help me in managing the business
operations and activities effectively.
Business Canvas Model: It is lean start-up and strategic management
template for the purpose of developing new or existing business models.
It is visual chart with the components which explaining the product and
firm value proposition, finance, infrastructure and consumers. Through
applying Business Canvas Model, I represented realistic view related to

concept over which business will be developed. The main reason behind
developing this model is to analyse basic data that is concerned with FC
Burger food truck business so that it can be presented in front of the
stakeholders which are interested in idea for the set up food truck
business within Rennes, France.
Above mentioned literature or models helped me in measuring the
threats which are effectively presented at market and have more
influence over operations as well as activities of company. These all the
aspects are helpful in identifying better opportunities for business.
Under this present exploration work, my main consideration is to
identifying feasibility of my business proposal so that I can examine
anaemic factors which are exist in my plan and impact in a negative
way. If there are any kind of problems arise there there need to be take
the proper considerations for minimize any kind of errors. In present
research work, I have been implemented the Porter's five force model in
context to examine industrial feasibility for current project. Along with
this, I have been used the Business canvas model that helps in analysing
paths through which FC Burger food truck can develop the value in
front of consumers and how also these values can be converted into the
revenue. In regards to this, Business Canvas model is necessary as it is
helpful in attracting stakeholders in order to invest in to the business
idea.

(max. 400 words)
My experience was good while undertaking this project in better
manner. I was able to be cultivate different capabilities which are
beneficial for me. Other than this, I faced some problems which
hindrance my work while understanding project.
Under this, first issue is related to time. The time was not sufficient for
conducting this project due to the many factors included in it. For
example- Suppliers of FC Burger were less in France and they charge
more. If I would have proper time then I could able to search the proper
solution and find the right supplier which provide raw materials to me at
right cost and in right time.
The other issue is related to competitors as I was not able to search right
solution for my rivals. In France, there were many rivals available as I
was not properly analyse them. The main drawback of my business is
that I deal only one food item and one drink and people like the many
fast food items.
This whole investigation based on the Primary and Secondary Data. As
information collected for development of this investigation is based on

the Secondary and Primary Data. Different sources of collected the
primary information are interviews, surveys, observation etc. are not
sufficient for establishment of this project. In order to finish project,
proper knowledge about the area is required. For get over from this
problem, it is necessary to have the field knowledge and solved with use
of secondary and primary data properly.
