McDonald's is a global fast food chain that has successfully expanded around the world. However, expansion brings both major and minor issues. A major issue is difficulty expanding to different countries, communities, and meeting varying menus and prices. Franchise failures to meet standards was also a major issue. Minor issues included experimenting with local menus and removing items due to lack of raw materials. McDonald's solutions included adapting menus and researching local eating habits. Questions addressed McDonald's opportunities/threats, strategies for European expansion versus Asia, philosophy of standardization, potential menu expansions, and reasons for global success.
