internationally.
In this assignment I will be discussing how the monetary environment affects how
McDonalds operates internationally.
McDonalds was created on 15th April 1955, as a BBQ restaurant,
opened by Richard and Maurice McDonald. A franchise agent
named Ray Kroc also joined the business later that year, he
purchased and took over the company from the McDonald
brothers and oversaw the international growth. McDonalds is a
well-known fast food chain across the world, with restaurants
serving food in over 120 countries. McDonalds owns 22% of the market share, globally,
which is the second biggest ownership in the worldwide section. The company is well known
for their range of hamburgers, cheeseburgers, chicken nuggets and fries. Their target
market is a wide range of people, including families (which they offer Happy Meals),
workers who need breakfast or coffee on the go or those who have time to eat meals inside
the restaurants and use their free Wi-Fi facility.
McDonalds offer a well-known Monopoly promotion annually, where customers can collect
stickers each time they visit which can add up to big prizes or instant wins on products they
offer. The company mainly advertises through expensive television adverts, posters and
billboards around towns and cities and via the internet – banners on websites and social
media pages.
