CASE STUDY
I. INTRODUCTION:
Domino’s is the largest pizza delivery company in the USA having a 22.5 percent share of the pizza delivery
market. Domino’s digital ordering channels include online ordering at www.dominos.com, mobile
ordering at http://mobile.dominos.com, and ordering on iPhone, Kindle Fire, and Android apps. More
than $2 billion of Domino’s pizza is ordered online annually. There are more than 10,300 Domino’s stores
in over 70 countries.
Mission Statement: “Exceptional franchisees and team members on a mission to be the best pizza delivery
company in the world.
Mission Statement (Proposed): We aspire to achieve highest standards of the international chain of pizza
delivery with motivated people providing exceptional experience of oven-hot pizzas with excellent
customer service. We are accountable for profitability in everything we do, providing our shareholders
with value growth. We strive to act with honesty, openness, fairness and integrity
Vision Statement (Proposed): To be the best and well-known oven-hot pizza delivery company in the
world with smart hustle, positive energy and offering a sincere customer service.
Organizational Structure:
As seen, Domino’s has 11 top executives, mostly executive vice-presidents (EVPs). It appears that
Domino’s operates from a functional organizational structure with Doyle being “where the buck stops,”
although for a firm of this size, a divisional or strategic business unit type structure by region (or by
franchised versus company owned) may be more effective in promoting delegation of authority,
responsibility, and accountability. However, Domino’s has a CEO directly reporting to the Chairman. This
allows the CEO to focus completely on operations, and organizational issues in strategy execution. Also,
eliminates conflicts in the areas of performance evaluation, and recruitment of new senior staff and other
directors.
