- 1. do you think that there are any conflicts of interest between the different stakeholders in your organisation? e.g. shareholders, employees, owners
-
There is no real conflict of interest between different stakeholders within the organisation. This is because, like all retail brands, McDonald's spends a significant amount of time listening to the stakeholders and consulting on plans. Different points of view are debated openly in the planning process; decisions are then reached which take into account these points of view. When decisions are taken which potentially conflict with a particular stakeholder viewpoint, the reasons for such decisions are fully explained.

It is no secret that the UK has faced a couple of challenging years – a tough retail environment and an uncertain economic outlook. As a result, sales were weaker than McDonald’s would have liked. However, the company has since strengthened. McDonald’s still believes it outperforms the competition and has achieved a lot in terms of evolving the menu and modernising restaurants. A great place to get information on the UK company for education projects is the company website www.mcdonalds.co.uk Good luck with your assignment.

What are these? Delicious Digg Reddit Facebook StumbleUpon - 6. with the increasing property rental prices in inner-city areas and the increased popularity in online gaming, how has Mcdonalds managed to stay afloat?
-
The success of any business will lie in its ability to plan and adapt to the changes around it. McDonald's has built up these survival skills over many years, through plenty of planning and research. As you have mentioned, property and land prices in the UK are high, and this has had a knock on effect in expansion for many businesses. McDonald's has been carefully monitoring the situation and has moved quickly to adjust its finances to accommodate for the rises. Looking inward, McDonald's finds ways to increase efficiency in all areas without compromising its standards. Online gaming has no direct effect on McDonald's. The company is excited by the technology and possibilities of the new digital age. In fact, McDonald's recently announced free Wi-Fi access in the majority of its restaurants.

What are these? Delicious Digg Reddit Facebook StumbleUpon - 7. Hey! I am a student at UK unyversity.My question would be: George Ritzer in his McDonaldization thesis considers that people like the efficiency,calculability,predictability,rationality and the controlled environment that the McDonalds process offers.Explain to what extent McDonalds has offered this. I would be very very happy to get the answer for my university report, as i could not find myself..... Donata

Thanks for your question. Unfortunately, the Make Up Your Own Mind team is set up to answer rather more specific questions about McDonald's business day-to-day and we would feel rather nervous taking responsibility for anything you might be assessed on at university! In this case, we'd suggest that you visit a McDonald's and consider the thesis question in a 'live environment' for yourself.
(Personally, the team believe people like McDonald's because it's a fun treat, a relaxed place and the food tastes good, as well as all the rather impressive language in your question...)

Firstly, many apologies for the very slow response to your question, as the site went through a few changes, some questions had slipped through the net, so thank you for your patience. McDonald’s follows the standards set and required by UK and EU legislation in all areas that affect the restaurant industry, from food sourcing to staff employment. The company puts in place systems and practices that help to ensure it complies with government legislation and, in many cases, exceeds it. McDonald’s is constantly monitoring pending legislation and adapts as necessary. Just like any company, McDonald’s is in business to make a profit. Profits returned from sales are used for a number of things, such as returns to shareholders or re-investment in the company. If you are a student, McDonald’s has a Student Information Pack.
