This document discusses McDonald's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats through a Porter's 5 forces analysis and SWOT analysis. Some key points: - McDonald's has strong brand recognition globally but also faces threats from changing customer preferences towards healthier options and increasing competition. - Opportunities for McDonald's include further international expansion, as it currently only serves 1% of the global population, and leveraging partnerships like the one with Coke. - Weaknesses include a need for improved product development and better management of franchisees. McDonald's strategies aim to address weaknesses by tailoring menus to local markets and more closely overseeing franchise operations.
