Het ondergewaardeerde aandeel McDonald's is voor beleggers goed te verteren. Met een extreem sterk merk, een wereldomspannend restaurantnetwerk en enorme schaalvoordelen heeft de fastfoodketen de grootste voorsprong op concurrenten.
This document provides a business case analysis of McDonald's recent struggles and proposed solutions. It summarizes McDonald's goals, mission, and vision as becoming the favorite place to eat. However, McDonald's has been losing market share and saw declining sales and revenues in recent years. One major reason identified is that McDonald's menu is seen as unhealthy junk food that contributes to obesity. The document evaluates three proposed solutions and recommends redesigning McDonald's menu to offer healthier food options using a weighted matrix analysis and cost benefit analysis. An implementation plan is outlined that would pilot healthier options in the Pacific Northwest over 12 months to gauge customer and public perception.
Competitive business environment, it is no longer sufficient to merely satisfy customers. To remain or become quality leaders, consumer foodservice companies have to implement advanced models of service leadership and management of a service to get and retain customers.

Matteo Giudici submitted his class portfolio project analyzing three investments - McDonald's Corporation, The Coca-Cola Company, and the Vanguard Wellesley Income Fund. The portfolio reflects Giudici's conservative investment philosophy as a new, risk-averse investor. He invested $10,000 in each company. McDonald's is a dominant fast food chain that provides steady growth. Coca-Cola is a leader in beverages with a good reputation. The fund provides bonds and stocks for reduced risk.

This document discusses McDonald's entry into international markets.

As a result of the dispute, McDonald's India incurred losses of 3.05 billion rupees and its brand image suffered. The emergence of new competitors like Domino's, KFC, and Subway made it difficult for McDonald's to gain market share.

Matteo Giudici submitted his class portfolio project analyzing three investments - McDonald's Corporation, The Coca-Cola Company, and the Vanguard Wellesley Income Fund.

McDonald's is a dominant fast food chain that provides steady growth. Coca-Cola is a leader in beverages with a good reputation. The fund provides bonds and stocks for reduced risk. Giudici analyzed each company's financials and projected continued growth above his required 8.03% return.

Assignment 1- McDonald’s Corporation and the International Market- No CoverFARID AL-AMOUDI
This document discusses McDonald's entry into international markets. It explains that McDonald's primarily uses international franchising to enter new countries, owning only 20% of locations on average. This strategy is profitable but also allows McDonald's to control branding and gain local knowledge from franchisees. The document also examines McDonald's competitive environment and strategies for adapting to different political, economic, and cultural factors in global markets.
The dispute between McDonald's India and its franchisee CPRL hampered McDonald's operations in northern and eastern India. McDonald's alleged CPRL violated their franchise agreement through financial irregularities and mismanagement. As a result of the dispute, McDonald's India incurred losses of 3.05 billion rupees and its brand image suffered. The emergence of new competitors like Domino's, KFC, and Subway made it difficult for McDonald's to gain market share.

A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?
In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

EBITDA, shares trade at a discount to restaurant
industry averages (21 and 11 times).

3. Key Investment Considerations
While McDonald's will probably fall just short of its
6%-7% operating income growth target in 2013
amid value marketing efforts and modernization
efforts, we view these efforts as tactical measures to
protect its share of industry traffic.

4. Key Investment Considerations
We view McDonald's as suitable for investors looking
for exposure to an expanding global middle class,
but also wanting more defensive positions.
McDonald's dividend currently yields about 3%.
