CASE Questions: Does McDonald’s possess any core competence(s) at the time of the case? Explain. (For this question, please remember to use the following definition of core competence). (Hint: This is the heart of the case, where significant assessment must be done through RBV, core competences and VRIO Analysis, performed on a set of very specific, identified resources/capabilities).
Core competences: (i) allow a firm to differentiate its products/services from its rivals, (ii) are learned by the organization over many decades, often through failure, (iii) are unique strengths that lie deep within the firm, and find their expression through products and services, and (iv) eventually can lose their ability to yield a competitive advantage, unless nourished and refined.
