Pizza Hut has adapted its culture and menu offerings to local tastes in different countries around the world. In many Muslim-majority nations, Pizza Hut serves only halal food options and avoids pork-based toppings. In India, vegetarian pizzas are popular and beef is not used due to Hindu beliefs. Menu items also incorporate local cuisines, like chicken tikka and paneer in India. Pizza Hut tailors its marketing and restaurants to each region to best serve local cultural preferences.

1. Review of Culture and Multinational Management<br />Culture varies in different countries. Culture is pervasive and shared beliefs, norms, values, and symbols that guide everyday life. Culture affects all aspects of life. Easily observable aspect of culture is known as front stage of culture: e.g., Japanese executive bows. Aspect that only insiders or members of the culture understand is known as back stage of culture, e.g. Japanese saying “it’s difficult” and twisting head to one side really means it’s impossible. Culture is divided into three levels & they are National culture, Business culture & Occupational and organizational culture. <br />In order to determine cultural differences & basic values two diagnostic models are there to aid the multinational managers, the “Hofstede model of national culture” & “7d culture model”.<br />“Hofstede’s model of national culture” is having five dimensions of basic values e.g. Power distance, Uncertainty avoidance, Individualism, Masculinity & Long-term orientation. Power distance concerns how cultures deal with inequality.Uncertainty avoidance is the norms,values & beliefs regarding tolerance for ambiguity.individualism & collectivism focuses on the relationship between the individuals & the group.masculanity deals with the tendency of the culture to support traditional masculine orientation & long term orientation is the blief in substantial savings, willingness to invest,sensitivity to sovial relationships& pragmatic adaption. 7d cultural dimension model there are some dimensions that deal with relationships include universalism Vs particularism, collectivism Vs individualism, neutral Vs affective, diffuse VS specific, achievement Vs ascription, sequential Vs synchronic, & internal Vs external control.In individualistic countries people are responsible for themselves. <br />Universalism vs. particularism refers to how people treat each other based on rules or personal relationships. In collectivist societies people are defined by group memberships and responsibility, achievement, and rewards are group-based. In individualist societies individual is assumed responsible for success or failure. Neutral vs effective refer acceptability of expressing emotions. In specific vs diffuse it is seen to what extent an individual’s life is involved in work. Achievement vs ascription describes the manner in which society gives status. <br />Dimensions dealing with how a culture manages time and how it deals with nature are sequential vs. synchronic and internal vs. external control. In time orientation it is seen that how cultures deal with the past, present, and future. Internal control & external control is concerned with beliefs regarding control of one’s fate., means does nature dominate us or do we dominate nature.<br />Introduction:<br />Type: Wholly owned subsidiary<br />Founded: Wichita, Kansas, USA, 1958<br />Headquarter: Addison, Texas, USA<br />Ceo: David C.
