EXCERPTS Contd...
Serving The Country
Jollibee supported many social causes in the Philippines. It worked with various government agencies to provide services such as immunization and medicine distribution. It also took part in polio-eradication programs. In association with the country's Social Welfare Department, Jollibee employed many hearing-impaired youth at its stores. Jollibee conducted a toy and book collection drive named 'Ma-Aga ang Pasko sa Jollibee' to give gifts to underprivileged children across the Philippines...
Leadership
|
According to company watchers, Jollibee's success would not have been possible without a person like Tony at the helm. Not content with expanding the business from a strategic perspective, Tony involved himself in the business at the grassroots level, to the fullest extent possible.
For instance, he regularly participated in the weekly meetings held to test new products and product-variants. He also frequently visited various Jollibee
stores, ensuring that decisions taken at the board-level were actually
implemented at the store-level. This hands-on style laid the foundations of a
confident, happy and fun-filled corporate culture at the company...

Globalization
Jollibee's decision to expand globally seemed to have been necessitated partly by the economic recession plaguing South East Asian countries in the late 1990s. While McDonald's decided to 'slow down' within the Philippines, Jollibee seemed to have adopted a dual approach - continue expanding internally in a limited way while exploring the option of tapping new countries. Tony said, "In the light of the shifting competitive environment, we have taken a broader, more global view of our business. We are leveraging the preeminent position of the Jollibee
concept and our mastery of food- service technologies to cater to more
market segments..."
What's Cooking?
In January 2002, Jollibee acquired 90% equity of the California-based, Japanese fast-food restaurant Tokyo Teriyaki House (TTH) for P 19 million. This off-shore diversification was aimed at strengthening the company's overseas operations. Jollibee immediately began working towards expanding TTH, and by the end of the year it opened the second TTH outlet.
Company sources revealed that TTH might be extended to Philippines as well in future. For 2002, Jollibee
outlets recorded a significant improvement in sales and profitability
figures. The company posted a net income of P 1.05 billion on
consolidated revenues of P 20.34 billion...

Global Expansion - In The Soup?
Jollibee planned to open more stores in Nevada, Hawaii and New York during
2003-04. Commenting on the decision to continue expanding globally, Tony said,
"An important source of growth for our corporation is the expansion of our
international business."However, analysts were skeptical about the company's
chances of success outside Asia...
