daily occurrences and organizational phenomena are understood. It is recommended to find the
parameters established by this interpretive framework, since it is from there that
you will gain valuable insights to understand internal communication and, eventually,
to design the actions to be taken.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Regarding social responsibility, Bembos has always been concerned about its
team members in training, personal development, in their studies; however, their
the external approach has been slightly deviated so far with respect to the
importance of the economy of some sectors of the country, but this is not to diminish
importance but have dedicated their time to young people and the development of skills,
skills and virtues enhanced musical and personal with the 'Rock in Bembos'.

Over the years, Peruvians have relearned to value our own, this has its
best example in the BEMBOS chain that sells Peruvian products made by Peruvians
despite competing in the market with large transnational chains, it has become
the favorite when thinking about a fast food chain

THE FIVE FORCES OF PORTER:

1. Suppliers:
Foreign suppliers
French fries come from the United States, the meat from Argentina, Bolivia and
Chile, the toys from China. When reviewing the suppliers' website, it
notice that they have a very wide market all over the world, therefore Bembos
does not represent being its main buyer. Therefore, we conclude that in the case
from foreign suppliers, Bembos does not have high bargaining power,
That is why it diversifies its suppliers.

Local suppliers:
Regarding local suppliers, it is noted in the reading that the supplier
It is Bimbo. Bembos in Peru could be considered one of the companies that
consume more bread, since its field is the sale of hamburgers. Therefore
we consider that in this case, it does have influence over Bimbo, since by the
Bimbo considers the volume of purchases as one of its main customers.
Something similar is seen with Unilever, supplier of Hellmann's, due to the volume of
purchases, it is also a major local client; therefore it has significant influence.
On the other hand, the growth of construction projects has led to the
demand for land increases and consequently, the prices of land and
rentals are becoming increasingly expensive (according to capeco). This situation makes it so that
Bembos, who has the need to purchase or rent for its franchises, should
decrease their bargaining power, as the demand for the same land is
high.

Clients
Customers have several options in the fast food market.
The economically active population spends its income on food expenses.
The high accessibility to the products and services of this sector, in Lima, Callao and
provinces in the shopping malls.
From the above, it is concluded that the client has strong bargaining power,
since in these shopping centers the fast food service provides
diversity of options for the customer, at the same reach and at no additional cost, plus
that the differentiation between one price and another.
This is supported by the tastes and preferences of the customer, which are based on:
Customer loyalty with a good level of service, security, and above all with
a high quality product.
The change in consumer behavior.
Tastes, attitudes, food culture, values, etc., are changing.
continuously; we are moving away from the traditional concept of soup and a main course or
a home-cooked meal to a quicker and more informal one, for various reasons such as;
work schedule, distances between work and home adoption of new
tastes and values among others.

3. Substitutes: Among the possible substitutes, we have companies that have been around for many years.
and with very good seasoning that they could be a possible substitute, which is why
Bembos is constantly innovating, such as the market launch
from the hamburger to the plate, the chicken hamburger. Within the possible
we would have substitutes
Large chains of Cevicherías and Restaurants,
Mediterranean Chicken
KFC,
Pizza Hut
Dominos pizza
Chillis
Pardos Chicken
Top notch.
Popeyes
Rustic, etc.

4. Potential competitors:
New brands from abroad
merger between small domestic companies
Risk of growth of existing companies

5. Rivalry among competitors:

MOTIVATION:

Regarding human resources, given that their staff is young and mostly...
university student cases, it is relatively easy to implement programs of
training and motivation. It is about enthusiastic people, whose own social circle
it coincides with BEMBOS' target market.

It sounds simple: good knowledge of your audience, differentiation, good service and
permanent innovation. BEMBOS, good ambassador of the Peru brand.

possible for better performance.

Recommendation:

respective managers to work in a team and in a more pleasant environment
entrepreneur always seeking to achieve daily goals.

FOCUS:

Its approach...

To achieve leadership in the fast food sector in Peru, BEMBOS has managed to
adapt to the local culture to reach solidly to its target audience. Its strategy of
business is based on the differentiation of its products and a continuous improvement in
service quality. This implies constant communication with clients to generate
stable relationships with them. The Peruvian flavor of their hamburgers defines an advantage
important against its competitors, along with a constant development of products
new. Invest capital for the development of products aimed at children, desserts, tacos
and burritos; whole salads for the audience seeking healthy and nutritious products; and
sides like yuquitas, onion rings, chicken nuggets, cheese fingers, etc. Additionally
has added diet drinks to the range of soft drinks it offers since its
beginnings.

Another key factor of their strategy consists of their backward integration: sourcing
from bread and ground beef through consignment purchases.

It also applies forward integration by acquiring national bottlers and

Some conclusions

Following the trend seen in other parts, in Peru, cases like that of Bembos...
they show that one of the franchises with the most potential for expansion and development is that of
fast food. Although the history of this type of business is not in itself
too long 23, there are plenty of examples of winners and losers just like in any

international, thus contributing to the growth of the business. Despite everything, as in
all other sectors, the consequences of the economic crises that it has gone through
Peru has also knocked on the doors of this activity.

The emergence of the phenomenon of globalization has caused Peruvians to receive a


strong influence of American culture in many aspects. However, in the

observe the case of Bembos. The fast food chains that came to settle in
Lima like McDonald's or Burger King were welcomed with enthusiasm during the decade
from the 90s, but they have had to fight hard to not lose ground against the
national entrepreneurs who adopted the best of these chains to incorporate it into
market. Bembos is perhaps the best example of this.
Cases like Bembos show us that Peruvian investors have applied the
franchise system to develop a brand, position it in the market and
expand in the market. However, the crisis has affected the plans of
expansion of many chains and has forced in some cases to wait for better
market conditions. Crises have also affected Bembos although, as we have
seen, the chain has managed to overcome difficulties and offers some guidelines to follow to
other similar businesses.

It is thus that despite the difficulties presented by the Peruvian market, national brands

examples like that of Bembos demonstrate the potential that Peru has as a market for

It is important to highlight that, as the case of Bembos demonstrates, this market is


mainly aimed at an urban consumer of high and upper-middle socioeconomic level,
since in Peru there is still not a large middle class. Very few franchises have
They have set up their stores in the provinces, almost all are concentrated in the capital, Lima.
Bembos has behaved in the same way. This is due to several reasons, perhaps the main one
it is the economy, since as mentioned before the audience with the highest level
purchasing power is found in this city. In addition, the customs in the capital and the
provincial cities are still different, it is worth mentioning that the consumer in
provinces are still not accustomed to consuming so-called fast food and it is more
conservative to accept new concepts of the market. However, continuing with the
previously exposed, little by little thanks to the media and
especially with the arrival of the Internet, a culture is spreading throughout the country

So far, only a few franchises have been established in Cuzco and Arequipa since
they are the most important cities in the country after Lima.

However, what places Peru and specifically Bembos as a case


exceptional is what has been termed the phenomenon of 'tropicalization' which consists of

examples to take into account.

In times marked by globalization and increasing uncertainty, it is


tremendously difficult to make forecasts and get them right. However, we can
say that, nowadays, the necessary conditions can be found in the Peruvian market to
the development of this type of business, as there are still sectors that are little
saturated and in which there would be greater business opportunities. We will have to wait
to see if this is really true.
