The case is set in 2023; the protagonist is Chris Kempczinski, CEO of McDonald's Corporation. McDonald's is the world's largest hamburger fast-food restaurant chain, with 40,000 restaurants in over 100 countries, $23 billion in annual revenue, and a net income of $6 billion. Since being appointed CEO in 2019, Kempczinski launched the Accelerating the Arches strategic initiative (MCD, also the ticker symbol): maximize our Marketing, commit to the Core Menu, and double down on the 4 Ds of delivery, digital, drive-thru, and development. Although McDonald's has significantly outperformed the broader stock market for most of the past decade, Kempczinski wonders how long this can last. McDonald's faces significant headwinds, including recessionary pressure, high inflation, supply chain problems, rising wages, and significant labor shortages.

Este artículo analiza la polémica suscitada en 1979 por el proyecto de construcción de un edificio del Banco de Tokyo frente al Palacio de Correos y Telecomunicaciones en Buenos Aires, Argentina. Desde una perspectiva comunicacional, el análisis de este caso hasta ahora no estudiado busca dar cuenta de los elementos ideológico-discursivos presentes en este debate para contribuir a caracterizar la coyuntura urbana durante la última dictadura en el país (1976-1983). Los resultados se dividieron en cuatro: las implicancias del “progreso” como temporalidad dominante; los “valores”, que aparecen como afectados por el proyecto arquitectónico; las ambivalencias en las formas de identificación de lo nacional y de lo citadino, y las marcas de interdiscursividad como síntomas reveladores de la coyuntura. Finalmente, se argumenta que este conflicto no puede ser considerado “patrimonial”, dado que el discurso predominante es monumentalista.

This chapter investigates the relationship between materiality and textuality in the Hellenistic period, by focusing on real and imagined tombs of poets. At a time not only of feverish activity when literary texts were being collected, copied, catalogued, canonized, and archived, but also when contemporary poetry was carefully situating itself in relation to an emerging library culture, and, what is more, when texts were being reframed and circulated in the context of anthologies, the tomb as inscribed marker of the poet's literal corpus o ered a rich analogy to the physical objects that sustained his or her surviving corpus of work.

Türk İslam düşüncesi, hikmetten felsefeye evrilmiş ve Batı düşüncesinin felsefî yaklaşım ve akımlarıyla Anadolu coğrafyasında tanışmıştır. Kişiler ve toplumlar birtakım problemlerle karşılaşınca bunları öncelikle fikrî olarak çözüme kavuşturmak ister. Osmanlı’nın son dönemlerinde de çözüm üretilmesi gereken siyasi, ekonomik, kültürel birtakım problemler ortaya çıkmıştı. Bu problemlerin çözümü Tanzimat ve Meşrutiyet dönemlerinde farklılıklar gösterseler de çözüm yollarının bilimsel, sosyolojik ve felsefi nitelikler taşıdığı bir gerçekti. Felsefi çözümlemeler Batı temsilcilerinin görüşleri doğrultusunda aydınlanmacılık, pozitivizm, materyalizm, spiritüalizm vb. ile çözüme kavuşturulmak istendi. Cumhuriyet döneminde de yeni bir toplum, millet oluşturmak, bunun varlığını diliyle, diniyle, idealleriyle, kültürü vb. ile sürdürmek genç cumhuriyet için çok büyük bir problemdi. Bu problemlerin çözümü için Tanzimat ve Meşrutiyet dönemi fikir akımları Cumhuriyet dönemine rehberlik etti. Bu farklı çözüm önerilerinden her biri, bizi farklı fikir akımlarıyla tanıştırmış oldu. Bu çalışmada kendi edindiğimiz tecrübeler ve farklı kaynaklardan yararlanarak Cumhuriyet dönemindeki fikri yaklaşımlar ve akımları ele almaya çalıştık. Bunlardan özellikle etki ve kabul görme sırasına göre aydınlanmacılık, pozitivizm, materyalizm, spiritüalizm, sosyal Darwinizm ve analitik felsefe üzerinde durmaya çalıştık. Sadece akademik çalışmalar açısından üzerinde durulanlar arasında yeni ontoloji, fenomenoloji vb. leri burada zikredilebilir. Abstract Turkish Islamic thought evolved from wisdom to philosophy and met the philosophical approaches and currents of Western thought in Anatolia. When individuals and societies face certain problems, they first want to solve them intellectually. In the last period of the Ottoman Empire, there were political, economic and cultural problems that needed to be solved. Although the solutions to these problems differed in the Tanzimat and Constitutional Monarchy periods, it was a fact that the solutions had scientific, sociological and philosophical qualities. Philosophical analyses were tried to be solved with enlightenment, positivism, materialism, spiritualism, etc. in line with the views of Western representatives. Creating a new society, a new nation, and sustaining its existence with its language, religion, ideals, culture, etc. was a huge problem for the young republic. For the solution of these problems, the intellectual movements of the Tanzimat and Constitutional Monarchy periods guided the Republican period. Each of these different solutions introduced us to different currents of thought. In this study, we have tried to deal with the intellectual approaches and currents in the Republican period by making use of our own experiences and various sources. Among these, we have tried to focus on enlightenment, positivism, materialism, spiritualism, social Darwinism, analytical philosophy in order of influence and acceptance. Among those emphasized only in terms of academic studies, new ontology, phenomenology, etc. can be mentioned here.

McDonald's Corporation: The World's Leading Fast Food Chain [Case Study]

Devashish Shrivastava , Anik Banerjee

McDonald's Corporation is an American fast-food organization established in 1940 as a café by Richard and Maurice McDonald, in San Bernardino, California, United States. They rechristened their business as a burger stand and later transformed the organization into an establishment; the Golden Arches logo being presented in 1953 at an area in Phoenix, Arizona.

Ray Kroc, a businessperson, joined the organization as an established operator in 1955 and continued to buy the chain from the McDonald's siblings. McDonald's had its base camp in Oak Brook, Illinois, and moved its worldwide base camp to Chicago in mid-2018.

McDonald's is worth $185+ bn today. It is the world's biggest eatery network by revenue. It was last registered to be serving 69+ million customers each day in more than 120 countries across over 39,000 outlets.

Although McDonald's is best known for its burgers, cheeseburgers, and french fries, its menu also includes chicken items, breakfast things, sodas, milkshakes, wraps, and sweets. In light of changing buyer tastes and a negative backfire on account of the wretchedness of its food, the organization has added mixed greens, fish, smoothies, and natural products to its offerings.

McDonald's Corporation's income originates from leases and charges paid by the franchisees. According to two reports distributed in 2018, McDonald's is the world's second-biggest private manager with 1.7 million representatives (behind Walmart with 2.3 million workers).

Here's bringing you the McDonald's company profile that will present to you McDonald's company overview, when was McDonald's founded, McDonald's growth over the years, about McDonald's, McDonald's owner name, founder of McDonald's corporation, McDonald's history and background, McDonald's case study marketing, and more.

McDonald's - Startup Story and History

Richard and Maurice McDonald in 1940, opened the primary McDonald's at 1398 North E Street at West fourteenth Street in San Bernardino, California; however, it was not the McDonald's you know today. Ray Kroc made changes to the siblings' business and modernized it.

The siblings presented the "Speedee Service System" in 1948 by extending the standards of cutting-edge drive-thru eatery that their antecedent White Castle had tried over two decades earlier. McDonald's emerged with a delivery model where it made its food on a supply belt and delivered it within 2 minutes.

It looked like a fantastic and impossible eatery that had:

• Only burgers, fries, and shakes on the menu • No plates or waiters to serve the customers

However, when Ray Kroc came, he was astonished by the never-ending waiting lines that were there waiting for their orders from McDonald's.

Kroc was then 50 already and was selling milkshake mixers door to door. Ray Kroc had earlier tried his hand in many things but never had attained success in his whole life. He already worked as a musical director, pianist, and had also worked as a real estate guy, in the paper cup industry, and as a seller of kitchen appliances, but he couldn't hold on to one thing among them all. Thus, Kroc was a person who lived from paycheck to paycheck.

Kroc came to McDonald's to deliver an absurd order of 8 milkshake mixers for just one area. He wondered "why would someone want to make 40 milkshakes at a time?" This is why he drove to California, at McDonald's to see the place himself.

Seeing the huge demand for McDonald's burgers, fries, and shakes, Kroc sensed a huge opportunity. He soon pushed the founders of the store to embrace a franchise model. The McDonald's brothers who owned the business, were living a comfortable life then, getting rich by the day, and buying Cadillacs as they filled their pockets. They didn't have vision nor they were eager to expand. However, Ray convinced them and rushed to work, as soon as he did that.

He assumed the role by taking 2 major steps back to back:

• Mortgaging his house when he was already 52
• Opening 18 new outlets in the very first year

This has helped the company scale big time, and McDonald's now boasts of:

• Serving 2.3+ billion burgers a year
• Serving 39,000+ restaurants across more than 120 countries
• Being the 4th largest employer in the world
• Being the largest toy distributor in the world

Though it was Ray's idea and the expansion was promising, the McDonald's brothers made an unfair deal with him. Kroc was allowed only 2% of the profits. McDonald's being to scale aggressively but the founders of McDonald's wasn't really happy with Ray and his scaling. This is why Ray borrowed and bought them out for $2.7 mn, thereby becoming the 100% owner of McDonald's.

The organization attributes its success to Ray Kroc. Kroc later bought the McDonald siblings' value in the organization and was responsible for McDonald's overall reach. He was seen as a forceful colleague, driving the McDonald siblings out of the business. Kroc and the McDonald's siblings battled for control of the business, as recorded in Kroc's life account.

The San Bernardino eatery was torn down (1971, as indicated by Juan Pollo) and the site was offered to the Juan Pollo chain in 1976. This zone currently fills in as central command for the Juan Pollo chain, and a McDonald's and Route 66 museum.

With the development of McDonald's into numerous universal markets, the organization has turned into an image of globalization and the American lifestyle. Its unmistakable quality has additionally made it a regular point of open discussions about heftiness, corporate morals , and shopper obligation.

McDonald's - Mascot/Logo

On May 4, 1961, McDonald's initially petitioned for a U.S. trademark on the name "McDonald's" with the portrayal "Drive-In Restaurant Services". By September 13, McDonald's, under the direction of Ray Kroc, petitioned for a trademark on another logo—a covering, twofold curved "M" image.

Before the twofold curves, McDonald's used a solitary curve for the design of its structures. Even though the "Brilliant Arches" logo showed up in different structures , the present form was not utilized until November 18, 1968, when the organization was given a U.S. trademark.

McDonald's - Business Model And Market Strategy

The business and revenue model of McDonald's includes almost 37000 outlets which spread to more than 120 nations. Today, McDonald's is the biggest eatery network on the planet in terms of income.

Initially launched as a Drive-In Hamburger Bar, the idea was advanced in 1940 by The McDonald Brothers, Richard James (Dick), and Maurice James (Mac) McDonald. It was after the presentation of the Speedee Service System with shakes, fries, and burgers costing as low as 15 pennies that the McDonald Brothers started the establishment of McDonald's Hamburgers.

In 1954, Ray Kroc turned into the establishment operator of the McDonald Brothers. The main McDonald's eatery was opened by Kroc in 1955 in Des Plaines, Illinois, USA. It was in the year 1961 that the rights to the eating joint of the kin were obtained by McDonald's for a powerful total of $2.7 million.

What's more, it has additionally embraced three quickening agents: digital, food delivery, and experience of things to control its monstrous development. It keeps on reshaping cooperation with clients and raising the level of consumer loyalty and experience through innovation and human endeavours.
