Situation Analysis
Internal Environment
Sodebo is a family business, and it is in direct competition with the great names of French and international food industry.
Product launched in 2009 on the French territory, it was a real challenge and a risky bet on the future. With recent changes in legislation on VAT in this sector, the decline in restaurant visits, the concept of PastaBox represented an alternative compared to traditional catering.

In recent years, studies show that the French take less time to eat during their lunch break. To save time, assets eat convenience food, sandwiches or even food on Tupperware at their workplace.
Often cheaper, these products are increasingly available, as retailers that sell these products proliferate around us.

In the last decade, a lot of emphasis has been put on adopting healthy eating habits and informing the consumers that the healthy-eating option was available in fast-food restaurant chains.

This observation is also true in Subway restaurants where a 12 inch Italian sandwich contains over 900 calories compared to the 600 calories BigMac from MacDonald’s (Wilson Quarterly, Winter 2008). Thinking they are eating “healthy”, Subway patrons then splurge on soft drinks, potato chips and desserts accompanying their sandwich, especially is they are offered as part of value meals.

Prior to this class, although I have some experience in a marketing type role, I thought of marketing as the process that was activated post product development and the vehicle to product/service promotion and advertisement to the marketplace. Through this class, I have a greater understanding of marketing, and realize promotion and advertisement is just a fraction of it, and has much more depth. Marketing begins at the beginning, and is integrated through to the end of the life cycle. It has a significant impact on the development stages as well as delivery to the marketplace. Marketing is a set of procedures facilitated in businesses for creating, communicating and delivering value to customers. Furthermore, marketing is about
