MCDONALD’S SITUATIONAL 2
McDonald’s is the world’s largest fast food chain with over $25B in annual sales and more
than 35,000 retail locations in more than 100 countries (McDonald’s Corporation, 2015).
Core Products or Services
Beyond the burgers, French fries and milkshakes that they have, they have been selling
since its founding, McDonald’s sells a variety of wraps, salads, sandwiches and beverages – more
than 200 items in all (The Economist, 2015). McDonald’s locations are typically open for
breakfast, lunch, dinner and late night dining and many feature drive-thru service.
A Brief History
The first McDonald’s restaurant was opened in 1948 by Richard and Maurice McDonald.
It brought production line techniques to the burger business and challenged the dominant carhop
drive-in business model. Ray Kroc was one of the earliest franchisees and the key figure in the
rapid expansion of the business after he bought out the McDonald brothers 1961. McDonald’s
became a public company in 1965 and opened its first international location in 1967. Sales and
locations have continued to grow every year since (Comoletti, 2014)
Key current competitors
Historically, McDonald’s primary competitors were identified to be the large fast food
burger chains like Burger King and Wendy’s. But given McDonald’s size and the expansion of
their menu, the competitive set must be viewed more broadly to include sandwich shops like
Subway, other fast food concepts like Chick-fil-A, more upscale fast casual restaurants like
Panera and Chipotle, as well as coffee shop chains like Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts.
SWOT Analysis
A SWOT analysis is a strategic planning tool used to assess the strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities, threats, and trend of an organization, company, project, plan, or venture
MCDONALD’S SITUATIONAL 3
Strengths
• Anytime, anywhere convenience
With over 14,000 locations in the U.S. alone, there is a McDonald’s within a short drive of
almost everyone and most are open from 6am to 11pm. The number of locations also means that
McDonald’s can purchase media nationally which is more cost efficient than buyinglocally.
• Brand equity
Because of its many locations, consistent brand experiences and hundreds of millions of
dollars spent on marketing each year-- McDonald’s has developed a very strong brand. For
example, they ranked 5th on BrandZ’s 2014 most valuable global brand list (Rooney, 2014).
• The Best French Fries
McDonald’s french fries are universally loved -- even by people who don’t otherwise like
McDonald’s food. McDonald’s fries were voted #1 in a 2015 YouGov study (Peterson, 2015).
• Kid appeal
McDonald’s is a popular destination amongst younger kids. Many locations have in ...

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
