Introduction Mauritius is part of the globalised world and the fast food industry has gradually started to take a foothold in the small island nation. The fast food franchises form part and parcel of the products necessary in today’s culture and lifestyle. The convenience they provide enhances people’s productivity and their lives. However, considering the ever-increasing competitive business environment, it is necessary to adequately evaluate the appropriate marketing approach to enable effective competition. An effective marketing strategy guarantees that a new entrant into the Mauritian market can be adaptive and respond to the evolving market conditions thus ensuring that they stand out from the rest and consequently thrive. Effective marketing strategies enable a franchise to efficiently respond to the increased demand for fast food product offerings and eventually leads to the increase in its market share. For this purpose, Chick-Fil-A already being a leader in markets it has already set up shop with innovative products like the boneless chicken breast sandwich, it can offer a fresh fast food experience to the Mauritian fast food customers. Kentucky Fried Chicken has already been in the Mauritian Fast food industry since 1983. Hence, Chick-Fil-A would be a relatively new product in the Market, and a proper evaluation of the external market factors is necessary.

It seems ambiguous whether the Kindle Fire can be categorized as a tablet or e-reader. Nowadays, these two terms are looking and performing quite similarly thus making it difficult to tell them apart. There are some important differences between the two that will prove useful in making this distinction.

Valerie I agree that it is wise to have faith in God even from a business standpoint. It is often hard in today’s society though to put God first in the decision making. I remember back in 2012 when Chick-fil-A was going through a hard time because one of the chief operating officers (Dan Cathy) made a remark about opposing same-sex marriage. He has his right to state an opinion but having friends that are lesbian and gay I had to side with my friends. The remarks seemed to come from a place of hate and he offended so many people by his statement. I do believe that Christians should not hide their beliefs but sometimes in a business setting one person who states an opinion could wreck the business and ultimately leave a Christian owned company
Previously we touched on the vision of Chick-fil-A founder S. Truett Cathy, who went against the grain of other fast food chain restaurants to close on Sundays.

Since the beginning of time, food has been a staple in every living, breathing creature’s life. Food is a necessity and is direct fuel for the body, for nourishment. The type of diet a person consumes is crucial in determining overall health and even longevity. We are often told that in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle, we must eat a balanced diet, which consists of eating a proportionate amount of a variety of foods. For many people, it becomes difficult to consume all of these right foods on a daily basis. A busy lifestyle often hinders a person from getting this healthy, balanced diet. In many situations, unhealthy food options are just way more convenient. As a college student, I have to fight the urge to ritualistically eat Chick-Fil-A
There are six marketing strategies of Chick-fil-A. First, Build your “raving fan” base.

One day last week I decided to take a trip over to Chick-Fil-A in Ridley, PA. It was about five minutes away from my house and I was craving some type of chicken. The two deciding factors which helped my decision is that it was fast and easy. I went with a friend and we decided to sit down to eat as opposed to going through the drive thru. The employee who took my order was very polite and after ordering she had said “my pleasure”. I noticed this was the norm after numerous employees said the same to my friend. Although they are likely told to say this, it was a sincere gesture. I ordered a 12 piece chicken nugget meal which came with fries and a drink, and a chicken sandwich. After my first bite I was immediately amazed by the food and enjoyed my meal.
Working at Chick-fil-a has its ups and downs, but usually there is manager who knows how to work around problems and figure out how to make sure that the store still functions properly. This one day though the upper management decided that it was okay to not schedule a manager that night to help close the store. Since I was the most experienced team member there I assumed the responsibility of the kitchen manager, and the tasks of making sure that the kitchen crew closed properly and made it out on time.

The proposals that we are going to depose are a planning of continuous action in order to confront the challenges, which BT confronts.
