“If we want to compete (with McDonald’s) we have to make sure we at least
equal them in all the other attributes. It was a challenge because in
advertising, promotion, store look, size, playgrounds, service speed, we ranked
lower. We focused on the other attributes one by one.
“We did a survey and, aside from taste of food, we were ranked higher by

The most important ingredient is sensitivity
to the needs of the consumers.
Subway is the number one restaurant franchise because it recognizes that
serving healthy meals is a growing need of today’s consumers.
7-Eleven is the top franchise in terms of number of outlets because it
offers convenience, which is a real need in today’s fast-paced society.
McDonald’s is a global icon because it has recognized that today’s
consumers want to be pampered no matter what socio-economic class it
belongs to and so it upgraded the design of its stores to make its
customers feel important.
If ASEAN brands want to succeed in the
global arena we have to design
products and services that the global
consumers want and need.
I am unique.
I want it now.
I am one with the
world.

The ASEAN Economic Community is an excellent
opportunity for us to learn how to become more
