MCDONALDS
1. Introduction
McDonalds was founded in 1955 by Ray Kroc. Rooted in Ray Krocs founding principles of Quality, Service, Cleanliness & Value (Q.S.C.&V.). MacDonalds headquarters are situated in Oak Brook, Illinois, USA. It have more than 35000 branches all over the world. It produces Fast Food. According to the survey of 2010 McDonalds have more than 5,00,000 employee in its worldwide branches. McDonalds management has always believed in being a leader in issues that affect their customers. This philosophy is evident in McDonalds involvement in various community projects regarding education, health care, medical research, and rehabilitation facilities. These activities help the corporation to extend their image beyond fun and entertainment into social responsibility. However, in the late 1980s, McDonalds began to face criticism for its environmental policies, especially those surrounding polystyrene clamshell containers. In 1987, McDonalds replaced CFCs, the blowing agent used in clamshell production, with weaker HCFC22s after facing public criticism that CFC usage was contributing to ozone depletion. But this change was not enough for many grass-roots environmental groups that, led by the Citizens Clearinghouse for Hazardous Waste (CCHW), united in establishing a Ronald McToxic Campaign consisting of restaurant picketers and an organized effort to mail clamshells back to Oak Brook headquarters. When McDonalds later tested trash-to-energy on-site incinerators, CCHW quickly named the project McPuff. By 1989, school children, the backbone of McDonalds customer base, founded a group called Kids Against Polystyrene. Although they were not the only fastfood restaurant facing criticism for disposable packaging, McDonalds could not afford to let this situation escalate. One of their primary competitors is Burger King. McDonalds is the leading global foodservice retailer with more than 30,000 local restaurants serving 54 million people in more than 120 countries each day. All McDonald's restaurants offer a standard menu, which comprise food items such as hamburgers, cheeseburgers, chicken sandwiches, French fries, salads, milk shakes, desserts and ice cream sundaes. Some McDonald's restaurants offer additional food items to suit local taste and preferences. The company also operates restaurants under the brand name 'Boston Market'. In fiscal 2006, the company operated 31,667 fast food restaurants in over 119 countries in the following geographic segments: US; Europe; Asia Pacific, Middle East a nd Africa (APMEA); Latin America and Canada. McDonald's generates revenues through company operated restaurants and franchisee restaurants. Of the company's total restaurants, over 8,000 are operated by the company and over 18,000 are operated by franchisees. The remaining restaurants are operated by affiliates. The company's revenue comprises sales from company operated restaurants and fees as well as rent from franchisees and affiliates. The company and its franchisees as well as affiliates
[6]

source purchase food, packaging, equipment and other goods from approved suppliers. The company maintains quality standards through assurance labs around the world. A quality assurance board, including the company's technical, safety and supply chain specialists, provi de guidance on all aspects of food quality and safety.

2. History
The business began in 1940, with a restaurant opened by brothers Richard and Maurice McDonald in San Bernardino, California. Their introduction of the "Speedee Service System" in 1948 established the principles of the modern fast-food restaurant. The original mascot of McDonald's was a man with a chef's hat on top of a hamburger shaped head whose name was "Speedee." Speedee was eventually replaced with Ronald McDonald by 1967 when the company first filed a U.S. trademark on a clown shaped man having a puffed out costume legs. McDonald's first filed for a U.S. trademark on the name McDonald's on May 4, 1961, with the description "Drive-In Restaurant Services", which continues to be renewed through the end of December 2009. In the same year, on September 13, 1961, the company filed a logo trademark on an overlapping, double arched "M" symbol. The overlapping double arched "M" symbol logo was temporarily disfavored by September 6, 1962, when a trademark was filed for a single arch, shaped over many of the early McDonald's restaurants in the early years. The modern double arched "M" symbol that continues to be in use today at McDonald's restaurants did not appear until November 18, 1968, when the company filed a U.S. trademark on the now famous symbol that continues to be in use through the end of the year 2009. The first McDonald's restaurants opened in the United States, Canada, Costa Rica, Panama, Japan, the Netherlands, Germany, Australia, France, El Salvador and Sweden, in order of openings. The present corporation dates its founding to the opening of a franchised restaurant by Ray Kroc, in Des Plaines, Illinois, on April 15, 1955[8] , the ninth McDonald's restaurant overall. Kroc later purchased the McDonald brothers' equity in the company and led its worldwide expansion, and the company became listed on the public stock markets in 1965.[9] Kroc was also noted for aggressive business practices , compelling the McDonald brothers to leave the fast food industry. The McDonald brothers and Kroc feuded over control of the business, as documented in both Kroc's autobiography and in the McDonald brothers' autobiography. The site of the McDonald brothers' original restaurant is now a monument.[10] With the expansion of McDonald's into many international markets, the company has become a symbol of globalization and the spread of the American way of life. Its prominence has also made it a frequent topic of public debates about obesity, corporate ethics and consumer responsibility. McDonald's boasts its service to "99 billion customers". McDonald's restaurants are found in 119 countries [11] and territories around the world and serve nearly 47 million customers each day. McDonald's operates over 31,000 restaurants worldwide, employing more than 1.5 million people.[11] The company also operates other restaurant brands, such as Piles Caf. Focusing on its core brand, McDonald's began divesting itself of other chains it had acquired during the
[7]

1990s. The company owned a majority stake in Chipotle Mexican Grill until October 2006, when McDonald's fully divested from Chipotle through a stock exchange. [12][13] Until December 2003, it also owned Donatos Pizza. On August 27, 2007, McDonald's sold Boston Market to Sun Capital Partners.

3. Organizational Culture of McDonalds McDonalds as an organization


[8]

Basically, an organization is a group of people intentionally organized to accomplish an overall, common goal or set of goals. Business organizations can range in size from two people to tens of thousands. There are several important aspects to consider about the goal of the business organization. These features are explicit (deliberate and recognized) or implicit (operating unrecognized, "behind the scenes"). Ideally, these features are carefully considered and established, usually during the strategic planning process. (Later, we'll consider dimensions and concepts that are common to organizations). Since McDonalds is a company which means it has a lot of employee who are working together to achieving a certain goal than it is considered an organization. McDonalds is the largest chain of fast food restaurants in the globe. McDonald's restaurants are found in 119 countries around the world that serves nearly 47 million customers per day. It has more than 31,000 restaurants worldwide, and employee over 1.5 million people. This business was found in 1940 under the name of speedee by the brothers McDonalds, and it was the first establishment and appearance of fast food restaurant, then the business transferred to Ray Kroc, who then expanded the business to nine branches, than into many international markets which reflected the way of American life style

McDonalds globalization and culture.


Globalization has affected almost every aspect of life in almost every nation. From economic to social to culture, this widespread exchange of goods, services and ideas have influenced changes around the world. Even though the cultural influence in globalization is of slight significance to policy makers, its power has tremendous consequences to the nations involved and its people. Food is an important element in defining culture. Britannica (2007). Food is the oldest global carrier of culture. Any changes in the foods that we eat, in its preparation, the way it is served and consumed diminishes the traditional beliefs of the people. One of the most influential changes came with the introduction of fast food restaurants like McDonalds into foreign countries. Transformations have taken place which could be perceived as beneficial or corrupting to that culture. According to William Gould (1996), before the introduction of McDonalds overseas fast food was almost unknown. McDonalds was the first company to try to export Americas love of fast food and changes in eating habits of other nations. Catherine Schnaubelt (u.d.) in her study, has found that McDonalds has over 1.5 million franchises in the United States and about half of the total franchises are outside the U.S. in over 120 countriesAmidst all the fame and fortune of McDonalds, there are concerns a bout how the spread of standardization of the franchise is affecting culture, attitudes and the environment. The globalization of McDonalds has raised many debates on both sides of the issue. The proglobalization belief is that it enhances culture rather than adulterate. Radley Balko (2003), states that In most communities, in fact, the McDonalds has conformed to the local culture not the other way around. The McDonalds corporation notes that most of its overseas franchises are
[9]

locally owned, and thus make efforts to buy from local communities. McDonalds also alters its regional menus to conform to local taste. There has been a loss of traditional values with the introduction of nontraditional food into the culture of foreign countries. The types of foods are symbolic to particular regions, religions and mors. In India, to the Hindu people, the cow is considered to be sacred as part of its religion. According to the AsianInfo.org (2007), Diversity can be found in Indias food as well as its culture, geography and climate. Although a number of religions exist in India, the two cultures that have influenced Indian cooking and food habits are the Hindu and the Muslim tradition. With the introduction of non traditional foods into this society, as with many others, there are adverse effects on the traditions it tries to uphold. McDonalds is viewed as American and the movement away from traditional foods towards fast food is considered to be Americanization of the diet. This concept has more far reaching effects than is seen on the surface. The Americanization of the food also means that of the culture and a way of thinking which in not acceptable to many nations. Sebastian Mallaby (2007), writes that Hyperpower invites backlash, and McDonalds has not escaped such consequences. In 1999 a French farmer named Jose Bove ransacked a McDonalds and became a hero of the anti- globalization. (para.5). The restaurant stands as a symbol of an unwanted change sweeping across the borders of culture and tradition. The content of the McDonalds diet has long been an issue of contention with nutritionist. In his book Fast Food Nation, Eric Schlosser (2002), states that By eating like Americans people all over the world are beginning to look more like Americans, at least in one respect. The United States has one of the highest obesity rate of any industrialized nation in the world. As people eat more meals outside the home, they consume more calories, less fiber and more fat.. The introduction of unhealthy eating habits as a result of the preamble of foreign foods into outside nations significantly affects the traditional culture. The World Health Organization (2002), believe that within the next few years, no communicable disease will become the principal cause of morbidity and mortality.The shift towards highly refined foods and towards meat and dairy products containing high levels of saturated fats,.contribute to rises in incidences of obesity and no communicable disease. Not only has the content of the diet been an issue but also the way in which food is consumed. As the name implies it is fast food There is a movement away from a family oriented dining to individual dining. In a chart featured by Gardenswartz and Rowe (u.d.) shows that while mainstream American culture focuses on eating as a necessity and towards fast food other cultures view dining as a social experience with religion playing an important role in its practice. They value group orientation and conformity to facilitate harmony among families whereas American culture has a preference towards individualism and independence from each other. Gobalization of fast food culture has also proven desirable to the nations involved and their populations. Mallaby (2007), states that As Americas car culture spread abroad, the hamburger followed. McDonalds has opened restaurants in 119 countries and serves 52 million people daily.
[10]

(para. 3). The appeal of the American way seems to transcend all boundaries. When McDonalds opened its first restaurant in Kuwait in 1994, 15,000 customers formed a seven mile line at the drive through. These are just some of the concerns which affect the issue of food culture and globalization. Many more arise as a result of the introduction of fast food restaurants like McDonalds into diverse cultures around the world. Some changes are embraced by the population while others are seen as a threat to the way of life that has been established for centuries. Some are adverse to the idea of globalization as a hold and perceive McDonalds as a representation of this ideal and as a result hold them responsible. The question arises; does the globalization of McDonalds adversely or positively affect the culture of different nations? Even though there has been many changes in the eating habits of the nations influenced by the introduction of McDonald's there has been many positive aspects. With the advancement of technology and communication the world itself seem to be moving at a faster pace. The advent of fast food into foreign cultures allows the opportunity to keep up with this fast pace. Culture is ever changing and thus McDonald's marks another step in the evolution of culture with the changes in has brought about. The menu has given people a new choice over the traditional foods eaten in the past. The McDonaldized institution has really spread across continents giving rise to a number of indigenous fast food chains. There is also the case of Asianization where Asian cuisine such as Fried rice is rapidly spreading all over the world. Unemployed youth are taking advantage of the McDonaldized institution to set up fast food businesses on the streets. This can be called fast foodstreet food. There are good and bad sides to this phenomena therefore we need to find out the bad sides and improve upon them. Some traditional foods may also come with pr oblems especially in terms of health so while we criticise fast food we should also analyze some traditional food at least for their nutritional importance. What we can learn about ourselves and our culture from McDonald's Talking about culture and McDonald's is a great challenge. First, it will be said that there is no culture in McDonald's, except "junk" food, maybe too greasy and maybe bringing bad cholesterol. At least, that is the first image the word "McDonald's" will bring to my thoughts of European. As you can easily imagine it, we do not have, here in Europe, the same way to look at the culture brought by McDo than the one the Americans see. It is a whole lot different, and that comes from our culture, our respective culture. When I was a kid, there was no McDonald's in my town, neither next town, ... the nearest one was 2 hours drive away and I went there the first time I was already 14 years old! And my first visit to this place met the images I had made for myself from TV shows and movies... it wa s a great and fun experience. Then, once I had my driver's license, I went often to McDonald's with my cousins (twice a month I mean) and it was the good reason to spend a day out, having fun and doing "weird" stuffs. We loved it. And now, I am a mother and I do share with my kids the fun I had to go to McDonald's, eating American food, having fun. During years my kids had their birthday's parties at McDonald's and it was fun. And we usually go, once a month, just for the fun
[11]

and the pleasure. That's right, you can smoke at McDonald's and I hate that. Every single day I do wish that this law against smoke in restaurant will pass and be effective very soon. That's right, you can have a beer at McDonald's and my husband likes better to drink a beer with his me al than a coca or a sprite. But it is in our culture, in our European culture to drink beer or wine with meals. I don't often drink wine while eating but it doesn't seem wrong to me. In our culture, we have wine, beers, etc.. at home and we are not alcoholics. It is normal for us to have the choice. For myself, I love drinking coca or other sodas, as at home we - kids and I do usually drink water or juice... but I do have the choice. But, I guess, that all around the world, in every place you will find a McDonald's, you will find signs, symbols of the culture of that place, mixed up with the culture of McDonald's. And that, represents the culture of the world, isn't that great ? Maybe, while visiting a "new" country, we should go first in a McDonald's, jus t to take good note of the differences with the American way... I'm sure we will learn a lot.

McDonald's Corporate Culture


McDonalds Corporation is the largest and most recognized global foodservice provider.

McDonalds currently operates more than 30,000 restaurants in more than 120 countries. McDonalds s also boasts a team of experienced managers, one of the best recognized brand names in the world, superior operating systems, and a global infrastructure. McDonalds is all about corporate culture. From its Hamburger University (where managers and assistant managers are trained) to its vision statement of Quality, Service, Convenience, and Value (QSCV), McDonalds corporate culture is a shared value system that forms the basis of all company decisions. If we look at R. E. Spur gins components of corporate culture, we see them defined as such: A relatively enduring, interdependent symbolic system of values, beliefs, and assumptions evolving from and imperfectly shared by interacting organizational members that allows them to ascribe common meanings to stimuli encountered in the organizational context; these functions are accomplished through the mediation of implicitly and explicitly rules that act as cultural warrants. McDonalds vision statement creates the values by which are made all managerial and corporate decisions. These guiding values are exhibited in all aspects of business, from social responsibility and diversity to training and policies. McDonalds operates four Hamburger Universities in four countries.

4. Organizational environment of McDonalds


i. External Environment
External assessment on your selected department, group, division, function, or organization (for which you will create a strategic plan) that you began in week 2, including an assessment of the external remote, industry, and operating environments. Your environmental scan should describe the situation completely and accurately. You should identify any major changes that you expect to affect your remote, industry, or operating environments in the next 5-10 years. This will include the following subcomponents such as: Utilize a macroeconomic forecast of economic indicators from the external remote environment that will affect your chosen organization in the future and should be considered part of strategic planning. Analyze the non-economic factors in the external remote environment: 1)Social and Cultural 2)Political 3)Technological 4) Demographic Develop an assessment of the organization's external industry environment using Porter's "Five Forces", including an assessment of the future forces and trends in the industry. Identify strengths and weaknesses in the organization's operating environment that can be leveraged to capitalize on the emerging opportunities or minimize the threats that you identified thus far. Make sure to present a competitive assessment on how specific key competitors compare to the firm on the criteria you believe are most associated with marketplace success. Also be sure to assess the firm's key customer/market segments, and the key needs/demands of each (in particular look to see how these needs/demands might be evolving based upon some of your earlier research into future trends). Considering all of your external assessment findings, summarize the top three to four strategic opportunities and/or threats that are most important to consider in your later development of long-term objectives

i.

Marketing Environment

Marketing environment means all the forces and factors outside the marketing that affects the marketing management ability to build a successful relationship with the target customers. When the McDonalds started it business in the Pakistan first they have to consider the market environment of the Pakistan. There are four considerable factors in the marketing environment of the Pakistan. These are product, price, place, and promotion. And other is micro and macro environment factors those have much influence on the marketing process of McDonalds are discuss below, a) Competitors The microenvironment factor has a lot of influence on McDonald. Because the McDonalds is a fast food restaurant chain and it has a large no of competitors in this field and to tackle its competitors MacDonalds is trying to understanding the needs and wants of the target customers and providing them the superior services and products.
[13]

b) Demographic Environment. Demographic environment of a country include the study of characteristic such as age, gender, race, occupation and density of the people of that country. So the McDonalds find out and introduced their products in those areas where there products will be readily accepted. They also studied the buying power of people their age level and the intensity of population in different regions. And then McDonalds decided to offer different types of products satisfying each and every customer of fast food industry. c) Economic Environment The economic environment means buying power of the people. The fast food industry of Pakistan is increasing day-by-day this encourages McDonalds to start their new outlets in all the major cities of Pakistan. McDonalds also consider the infrastructure of fast food industry of Pakistan before starting its operation. The purchasing power of the individuals was also studied to decide that in which areas they should open their new outlets. d) Social and Cultural Atmosphere When McDonalds started its business in Pakistan nine years ago people of Pakistan were not font of eating fast food and McDonalds was not generating too much revenues at that time but with the passage of time the interest of people has developed towards fast food and it has become a culture specially for the high class to go and eat fast food from expensive restaurants like McDonalds. As McDonalds is an American base company so it is facing many problems in Pakistan in its operation. Sometimes people show hate against it for this reason. For example , At least 11 people were injured in two explosions in a KFC and a McDonalds outlet in Pakistans southern city of Karachi e) Political and Legal forces Political conditions of Pakistan are steady and this promotes the foreign investors to come in Pakistan and start their business or expand it. For those companies who are already operating in Pakistan. Government of Pakistan has imposed restriction for McDonalds to provide Halal food in Pakistan and McDonalds has to follow that restriction. Also 15% general sales tax is imposed by government which McDonalds is paying completely. ii.

SEGMENTATION OF McDonalds

The process of dividing the large heterogeneous consumers market into smaller Portion is called as segmentation. In the same way the McDonalds is also dividing its markets into the smaller Segments. McDonalds is segmenting its market on the following basis . a) GEOGRAPHIC SEGMENTS
[14]

b) DEMOGRAPHIC SEGMENTS c) PSYCHOGRAPHIC SEGMENTS d) BEHAVIORAL SEGMENTS a) GEOGRAPHIC SEGMENTATION Dividing the market into different geographic units such as nations, countries, Cities.

NATIONS McDonalds also take care the nations and their beliefs such PAKISTAN is the Muslims countries so they are introducing only halal foods here. In INDIA McDonalds are not using the meet of cow. Because this is against their beliefs. CLIMATE McDonalds also take care the climate of different regions while segmentation. For example:-in those countries where the climate is hot, they introduced the cold Items such as ICE_CREAMS, SHAKS, and JUICES more like in the PAKISTAN. And the countries where the climate is cold they introduced more teas and coffees Etc. b) DEMOGRAPHICAL SEGMENTATION Its mean dividing the market on the basis of variable such as age, gender, Family size income, race generation etc. AGE McDonalds is segmenting the customers especially on the basis of the age.

5. Social Responsibilities
Social Responsibility is not a program that begins and ends. Acting responsibly has always been a part of who we are and will continue to be the way McDonalds does business. Its an

[16]

ongoing commitment, said McDonalds CEO Jim Cantalupo. I am proud of what o ur company has accomplished, and we continue to do more. It is a very special treat to announce that McDonalds Polska, part of the worlds No. 1 restaurant chain, has become a member of the Foundation for Corporate Social Responsibility, and will be awarded the Foundations Gold Seal of Approval as a Socially Responsible Company at our First Annual Awards Dinner Dance on November 3rd. Back in 1954, as a 52-year-old salesman, Ray Kroc was an exclusive distributor for "Multimixer" milkshake machines when he came across the small hamburger stand of Dick and Mac McDonald in San Bernardino, California. He took one look at the rapidly moving line of customers buying bags of hamburgers and French fries and thought, "This will go anyplace. Anyplace!" Fifty years later, McDonalds has 31,000 restaurants in 119 countries on 6 continents, feeds 46 million customers a day, and employs 1.5 million people. Poland is the most important market in the region for McDonalds. With over 12 years in Poland, McDonalds Polska has opened 205 restaurants and made investments worth zl.650 million on the local market. In 1992, the first year of its activity in Poland, McDonalds opened three restaurants. In the following years the company developed exponentially, opening 20 outlets a year on average. Presently, McDonalds restaurants operate in a large number of Polish cities, with a record of 35 locations in Warsaw. McDrive restaurants constitute a special category apart from the traditional dining room with a drive-through window for customers. Today there are 144 such restaurants of this type in Poland. Today McDonalds Polska employs 10,000 people and has no intention to reduce employment anytime soon. In fact the companys presence on the labor market is much bigger than company employees. Each investment undertaken by McDonalds means a major increase in Polish jobs in the construction industry, interior furnishings, and among suppliers of goods. Meals at McDonalds restaurants are almost exclusively prepared using Polis h products. At the end of September 2003, McDonalds Polska started a new image campaign. Conducted on all markets under the common slogan "Im lovin it," the campaign is part of the new global strategy of McDonalds. The launch of the "Im lovin it" campaign is a milestone for McDonalds in its process of refreshing its brand. For the first time in the companys history, one set of advertisements and one slogan is being used all around the world simultaneously. A Socially Responsible Company McDonalds founder Ray Kroc built the company on the principle of giving back to the communities in which they do business. That same basic philosophy still holds true at McDonalds today. A McDonalds franchisee and his/her team can be found supporting various local schools, youth athletic teams, senior citizens groups, safety awareness campaigns, literacy programs, environmental projects and other local fundraising initiatives in their communities. McDonalds national, registered charity, Ronald McDonald Childrens Charities (RMCC), was established in 1982. It has one simple objective: to help children in need. Ronald McDonald Childrens Charities
[17]

supports Ronald McDonald Houses & other registered charities that help improve the physical and emotional quality of life for children with life-threatening illnesses or disabilities and their families. This month marks the 30th anniversary of the first Ronald McDonald House, which opened its doors on October 15, 1974, to provide temporary lodging for families with chi ldren receiving medical treatment at nearby hospitals. What began with one House in Philadelphia, PA, has now expanded, due to the dedication of Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) and the need of families worldwide, to nearly 240 House programs in 24 countries around the world. Close to 20 new Houses are scheduled to open in 2005. The Polish chapter of RMHC (Fundacja Ronalda McDonalda) was registered in April, 2002. In one of my early discussions with McDonalds Polska Director of Corporate Affairs Krzysztof Kapa, he expressed his delight in the fact that the Foundation for Corporate Social Responsibility will work with their entire company, and not just the front office staff. He said, "I look forward to the first Corporate Social Responsibility Seminar with McDonalds administrators and employees. McDonalds Polska carries out many valuable programs for local communities. The Foundation for Corporate Social Responsibility could be an excellent platform for sharing such best practices and joining forces to help people in need adds Kapa. We welcome McDonalds Polska to our growing Foundation of Socially Responsible Companies. McDonalds says, Im lovin it, well, McDonalds, Were lovin you. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) or corporate citizenship entails companies behaving in a socially responsible manner, and dealing with other business parties who do the same. With growing public awareness and demand for socially responsible businesses, it is little wonder that companies of today take corporate social responsibility into account when planning future socially responsible business operations. This case study on McDonalds social responsibility examines one such example of corporate social responsibility exemplified by McDonalds . McDonalds is the world's largest chain of hamburger fast food restaurants. According to the McDonalds Corporate Social Responsibility website, McDonalds take on corporate social responsibility or CSR of McDonalds is about taking action, achieving results and always maintaining open lines of communication with its customers and other key stakeholders . Sustainable Supply Chain Strategy McDonalds works with its suppliers to promote socially responsible practices i n its supply chain as part of its supply chain strategy. This is part of its wider Framework for Corporate Social Responsibility. As described on its corporate social responsibility website, it has its own Code of Conduct for Suppliers which describes how McDonalds expects its suppliers to treat their employees. It has also sought to extend social accountability throughout its suppl y chain as part of its supply chain strategy. McDonalds has succeeded in supporting suppliers who are phasing out sow gestation crates in their supply chain. According to its website, currently, more than 50% of all Cargill's contracted hog farms are in new-generation systems that do not use gestation stalls. For example, McDonalds embarked on a sustainability project to improve conditions for farm workers
[18]

in the Florida tomato industry in 2007, which in turn promotes good environmental practices in its land-based agricultural supply chain and makes the farm a sustainable business. Although McDonalds purchases only 1.5% of Florida's tomatoes annually, McDonalds and its suppliers instituted industry-leading grower standards that improved working conditions in these farms and made the farm a sustainable business. Engaging the Community through Community-based Projects One approach to engaging in corporate social responsibility is through community-based development projects. Community-based and community-driven development projects have become an important form of development assistance among global socially responsible companies. An economic relationship implies a strategy of engaging the wider community into the core business activity of the company so that communities become embedded in corporate supply chain strategy to create a sustainable business. McDonalds at Canada At McDonald's Canada, we are committed to doing what is right, to being a good neighbour and a valued partner in every community in which we live and work. At McDonald's, giving back to the community is more than simply a commitment -- it is the foundation upon which our company has been built. These ongoing commitments are demonstrated through numerous McDonald's Canada activities. We are proud to support a wide range of programs and initiatives that benefit communities large and small right across Canada. Here in Canada and around the world, our major charitable commitment is to Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC). In addition to RMHC, McDonald's Canada also supports a wide variety of local community programs, initiatives that support the environment as well as animal welfare, all of which are highlighted in the 2006 Canadian Corporate Social Responsibility Report. Corporate Social Responsibility is the foundation upon which our company has been built. McDonald's founder, Ray Kroc, set a lasting example half a century ago by recognizing the importance of giving back to the communities in which we do business. At McDonald's Canada, we are proud to continue that tradition. Our Corporate Social Responsibility reports represent the evolution of McDonald's and the way we have adapted our business practices to meet the needs of the ever-changing world, understanding that while we are a local restaurant, our position as a global brand brings with it significant responsibilities. Corporate Social Responsibility is the foundation upon which the company has been built. McDonald's Corporation founder, Ray Kroc, set a lasting example half a century ago by recognizing the importance of giving back to the communities in which we do business. At McDonald's Canada, we are proud to continue the tradition. We have always been proactive leaders in our industry and will continue to evolve and improve our programs and practices to address emerging technologies, consumer wants, new global priorities and local developments.
[19]

McDonald's and corporate social responsibility It is a mlange of homilies, generalities, and soft assurances that do not provide hard metrics of the company, its activities or its impacts on society and the environment. While movements towards corporate transparency and disclosure are to be applauded, there is little of either in the report. This is not a report about stakeholder rights, as McDonalds would have one believe. It is a report about how a corporation that's been severely stung by bad publicity, poor service, dirty restaurants, and declining earnings now wants to plead its case to its critics. It states that critics don't want to make things better, but it ignores what their critics care about. Instead, the McDonald's Social Responsibility Report is like Ronald McDonald: a fantasy. It presupposes that we can continue to have a global chain of restaurants that serves fried, sugary junk food produced by an agricultural system of monocultures, monopolies, standardization and destruction, and at the same time find a path to sustainability. Having worked in the field of sustainability and business for three decades, I can reasonably say that nothing could be further from the idea of sustainability than the McDonald's Corporation.

6. Mission Statement
"McDonald's vision is to be the world's best quick service restaurant experience. Being the best means providing outstanding quality, service, cleanliness, and value, so that we make every customer in every restaurant smile."

7. Planning
In planning phase we have define the following :

Goals McDonalds needed to develop a worldwide enterprise system to reach all McFamily audiences including employees, franchises, suppliers and business partners. They also required improved publishing efficiencies through consistent global content management processes. This included the deployment of multiple sites with localized content using minimal resources. A system with extensive brand management and graphics capabilities was also needed to ensure consistent messaging and branding for all possible audiences. The solution also needed the flexibility to adapt to McDonalds many future online plans. FUTURE GOALS In the next few years, we aim to advance our balanced, active lifestyle efforts by: Continuing to develop new menu offerings that provide our customers with a range of choices that correspond to their needs and preferences and can fit into a balanced diet
[20]

Develop more Happy Meal choices, including new entre offerings and non-carbonated beverages without added sugar. Sticking to our timetable for phasing in our new nutrition information initiative for core packaging items Continuing to assess, listen, learn and evolve our policies and marketing and communication practices so that we can continue our special regard for young people Expanding our engagement with experts to ensure that we are guided by the best scientific information and insight Vision A supply system that profitably yields high-quality, safe food products without supply interruption while creating a net benefit for employees, their communities, biodiversity, and the environment Objective To satisfy the internal customers because they are the window to the external customers. Mission I AM IN LOVE WITH IT.

Mission of MC DONONALD is to provide the customer fast food and


beverages with friendly services in clean and convenient location. Challenges The new global system had to easily integrate McDonalds existing applications (FileNet, Oracle, Integrity and Verity among others). With public and employee sites all over the world, the system also needed extensive multi lingual support. Standards compliancy and adaptability (XML, J2EE, etc.) were also important in McDonalds decision to invest in Communiqu.
Recent Projects

McDonalds corporation has built a whole range of systems such as intranets, wireless applications or innovative kiosk systems, all based on Days Commu niqu. In their most recent initiative, the company migrated their global internet presence mcdonalds.com to our platform.

Mc Donalds in Pakistan is also trying to adjust its prices according to the prices of other competitors in the fast food field. But the price of Mc Donalds are little bit high as compare to the other competitors. The reason of high prices of Mc Donalds is many such as costly location, superior services, high govt taxes etc. But the McDonalds is also trying that its prices are not be too much high that people cannot afford it and most of Mc Donalds product are also for the people of the high gentry on the basis of prices Mc Donalds is offering different deals such as Kids deals.

McDonalds has used 23 different slogans in United States advertisement as well as a few other slogan for select countries and regions. McDonalds is also doing advertisement for attracting the children because they are a main category of their customers and for this purpose they are making play group in each restaurants. This is also a good effort for the promotion. In the Pakistan McDonalds use media excessively for the promotion for all the times especially when they introduced some product. For this purpose

Management Process
McDonalds management process has a lot to do with the following managerial steps.

Planning

A plan can play a vital role in helping to avoid mistakes or recognize hidden opportunities. Preparing a satisfactory plan of the organization is essential. The planning process enables management to understand more clearly what they want to achieve, and how and when they can do it. A well-prepared business plan demonstrates that the managers know the business and that they have thought through its development in terms of products, management, finances, and most importantly, markets and competition. Planning helps in forecasting the future, makes the future visible to some extent, it bridges between where we are and where we want to go. Planning is looking ahead. At McDonalds, planning is done with great concentration keeping all the environmental aspects in view. Planning at McDonalds is done before taking up every step like before entering into a new market. setting up a new franchise requires the management to look at the determinants of demand and supply in that particular region. Market resea rch is conducted by research and development department. A thorough survey is conducted about the demographics and behavioral aspects of the markets potential customers. in Punjab acceptance level of fast food is higher than other provinces and so McDonalds planning seeks to figure out the existing market trends in Punjab so to be in a better position to capitalize upon the opportunities. Consumers taste patterns and cultural variables are brought into consideration and then a decision is made which region McDonalds should enter into and which area can be left alone. Apart from entering into new markets, existing markets are constantly under observations, and planning is done before launching any new product. The appropriate match between the consumers taste and product is judged by the management by product testing. R&D department takes the responsibility of such planning. Operational planning is another key area in McDonalds. Plans are laid out while deciding about selection of suppliers. What resources McDonalds should create for itself and which resources should be outsourced are planned out. Financial planning, as told by the McDonalds management, is a vital area for its economic success. Finance department has hired qualified and skilled accountants who plan and approve of the marketing, HR and production budgets. All the planning done by finance department is sent to higher management for further study and approval.
[27]

II.

Organizing

Organizing at McDonalds is done by every department on its own based on the activities performed. However mutual coordination and communication is intense so to keep the objectives of all the departments in alignment. McDonalds management does organizing by work specialization to minimize the interference of unconcerned people which causes a delay in implementation of planning. For example, the finance department organizes its work among accountants, auditors, and forecasters. Marketing department has allocated certain tasks to certain people. Brand managers are there to work in association with R&D department to keep a check on brand performance by conducting brand audits and brand tracking. Regional managers are there to look at the regions sales, take the problems into account, taking immediate action within the authori ties, forwarding the problems to concerned authorities, for example if sales trend in a region goes down without overt reasons, brand management is informed to seek out the reasons and suggest solutions. Branch managers are made responsible for keeping command over operational activities. Customer cares, branch maintenance, secure transaction, security checks, and sustaining healthy environment is their responsibility. All of these activities are in mutual coordination and the interdepartmental mobile communication channel is held responsible for upholding the highest level of coordination among departments. III.

Leading

Every organization needs strong leaders who can lead the employees by motivating, guiding and directing them. McDonalds has been blessed with efficient employees as ensured by its strong recruitment and selection policy. First of all the leadership qualities of a branch manager are vitally important for McDonalds the ground staff who are in direct contact with customers need to be motivated i n order to deliver high service standards. The standardization of service criteria of McDonalds requires high competencies of employees who are working close to the customer as they are the one who will please or displease a customer on the spot. So in this case the leadership quality of a branch manager comes out to be more important. He needs to guide, direct, and keep the staff motivated by setting high examples of commitment and professionalism. He has to be vigilant as well as tenacious for that. McDonalds training and development staff ensures to transfer good leadership tactics to the branch managers. The managing director of McDonalds holds special events and personally meets those employees who get the best performance awards at all 20 restaurants countrywide. This inspires
[28]

the ground employees to work harder and show high performance. Another way of leading is to set high performance standards. IV.

Controlling

Controlling becomes a vital phenomenon in an organization as grows larger and larger. With expanding resources and areas of business becoming bigger brings some serious concerns for management to keep control over all the facets of the organizational resources and dimensions of business. McDonalds has become a multinational working in more than 100 countries and running more than 30,000 restaurants around the world. This is huge! Controlling in this case becomes a pulse for the business. There has to be a system in place for controlling factor and all the management has to be on its toes in order to make sure the smooth and right running of the business. McDonalds in this area has excelled over the period of time feeling and realizing the need of having tight control over its resources and processes thereby providing the highest level of value to its precious customers. In controlling, McDonalds emphasizes seriously on financial control. Budgets are allocated to critical success factors appropriately. For that the finance department works in coordination with marketing department. Marketing men pose recommendations to add value in its supply chain to get greater margins. Finance department then considers the feasibility of implementation of those recommendations from financial point of view. For that the financial analysts and chartered accountants are there. Finance department again asks marketing department to review the recommendation and points out the key areas where cost can be controlled. Marketing then again analyses the situation and ponders upon the areas which can be foregone to come in balanced state where maximum value can be created for appropriate costs. Once the budgets are made with areas defined, the execution patterns are transferred through high communication to lower levels where the actual work has to be done. if the budgets are not communicated properly, there is a high chance of misallocation of financial resources and hence mismanagement. Head of marketing takes over the matters and senior marketing executive and marketing executives are given the charge. They ensure the right use of budgets. If something goes wrong on lower level or even on the same hierarchy, respective personals take actions. Operational controls in another area where serious emphasis has to be made. McDonalds delivers the faster burger and other foods delivery to its customers. for that efficiency has to be achieved through proper operations and deployment of skilled employees. Customers concerned are directly conveyed to branch manager who takes on the steps to rectify the matter. No one has to be slack. This is the key. Everyone on the job has to put on the socks. Improvements in operations are constantly made through proper control. For that right training has to be given to the employees. At McDonalds, training and development of employees is a vi tal hand of gaining control over operations. If the employees are rightly trained, they will function in the most efficient manner. Human resource management requires control as well. Having to know
[29]

the right requirement of human resources depends on the right forecasting of personals. The right selection and recruitment is done through tough criterion. Once the selection is done, controlling comes into play by providing the employees with right compensation and keeping an eye on their training needs. Training and development department is constantly responsible for providing training.

SWOT ANALYSIS

i.

STRENGHTS

Global brand McDonalds has a well-established global brand that appeals to all age groups and customer segments. In 2005, McDonalds placed ninth in the top 100 global brands ranking of Business Week magazine and Interbrand, a branding consultancy. Strong operational capabilities McDonalds has strong operational capabilities which allow it to provide high quality products and customer service across its restaurants. The company has a world-class supply-chain and standardized processes to deliver products of uniform quality across restaurants, regardless of their location or nature of operation (company-owned or franchisee-operated). The company and its partners purchase food and related items from an approved group of suppliers.

[33]

Successful items Some of its products such as Big Mac, and Chicken McNuggets and have become brands in their own right. Strong brand draws customers to the companys restaurants and provides it with a recognized brand currency in new markets. Quality Products McDonalds is the symbol of quality with respect to its offering. ii. WEAKNESS

Weak revenue growth Low revenue growth suggests that the company has not been able to expand customer traffic at existing restaurants thanks mainly to the maturation and saturation of its key markets.

Weak product development McDonalds faces a strong competition and its weak product development creates problem. iii. OPPORTUNITIES

Expansion McDonalds is serving only in few cities of Pakistan. There is a large market for McDonalds still to serve. Furthermore it has few outlets within cities in which it is currently serving, so McDonalds also has opportunity to expand within cities. Franchisee-operated restaurants McDonalds intends to sell about company-operated restaurants in the Pakistan to franchisees. The operating margin of franchisee-operated restaurants is higher than that of company-operated restaurants. The sale of company-operated restaurants to franchisees is likely to increase the overall profitability of McDonalds Pakistans business. Growing dining-out market As the lifestyle trends of consumers are changing, the dining out market is growing, that would serve as an opportunity for the McDonalds iv. THREATS

Intense competition
[34]

McDonalds restaurants face intense competition from international, national, regional and local retailers of food products. The company competes on the basis of price, convenience, service and quality of food products. The companys competition includes restaurants, quick service eating establishments, pizza parlors, coffee shops, street vendors, convenience food stores, delicatessens and supermarkets. Growing health consciousness As the education level in Pakistan has increased in last few years, health consciousness has also increased .A growing consciousness of health matters could reduce McDonalds revenues Increased Sales Tax Sales tax has increased which results in the increased customer prices and reduced sales level.
