Texto completoENGLISH ABSTRACT: McDonald's is world renowned for the benchmark standards it sets in operations management. This is evidenced by the numerous references in operations management textbooks over the last 10-15 years. However, since 1999, McDonald's has not been able to link this operations excellence to creating shareholder value. In fact, the McDonald's share price has declined by 64 % over the last 4 years. In comparison, Wendy's (McDonald's biggest competition in the US fast food market) share price has increased by 2 % over the same period. Understanding why McDonald's has not been able to link operational excellence and the creation of shareholder value is the reasoning behind this mini-thesis. The hypothesis is that there are a number of factors. which influence shareholder value, and operational excellence is but one of these factors. A literature survey was conducted in order lO understand the underlying theories which link operational excellence and shareholder value creation. Evidence supporting this hypothesis is then presented and discussed. In Chapter 3, McDonald's ability to deliver operational excellence is evaluated against the evidence presented in operations management textbooks and other sources. The success of McDonald's in delivering perfonnance in the other factors affecting shareholder value is then discussed in Chapter 4 and compared to its biggest competition. Firstly, the share price of McDonald's is compared to its biggest competition (Wendy's), then the strategy of McDonald's and its impact on shareholder value creation is discussed, along with McDonald's ability to implement the other important factors and drivers, namely customer value creation, efficiency of value delivery and direct financial impact on shareholders. As a result of the above evidence. it was found that there are two basic reasons why McDonald's has not been able to link operational excellence and shareholder value creation: 1. Relative to its competition, McDonald's has not demonstrated sufficient competence in the other factors, which influence shareholder value creation. These factors are: customer value creation and the efficiency of customer value delivery. This is further evidenced by the financial output measures of McDonald's relative to its competition. 2. McDonald's ability in delivering operational excellence has diminished recently. This is evidenced by falling ratings in customer satisfaction surveys. The above reasons are evidenced by customer satisfaction survey results, comparative financial results and a number of non-direct driver results. In order to increase shareholder value creation, it is recommended that McDonald's change the focus of its strategy from operations to the creation of customer value. In order to support this change, the organisational structure and business processes will have to be changed by top management, who must be the crusaders of this change.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: McDonald's is bekend vir die maatskappy se wereldklas bedryfs bestuur standaardc. Die standaarde word tel kens na verwys in menige bedryfs bestuur handboeke oor die afgelope 10 tot 15 jaar. McDonald's kon egtcr nie daarin slaag om die hoe bedryfsbetuur standaarde in aandeelhouer waarde te omskep nic. Die waarde van die McDonald's aandele het met 64% gedaaJ oor die afgelope 4 jaar. In kontras het Wendy's (McDonald's se grootste mededinger in die Amerikaanse kitskos mark) se aandeel pryse met meer as 2% gestyg oor dieselfde peri ode. Die redc vir hierdie studie is dan juis om te bepaal waarom McDonald's nie hul voortrcflike bestuurs standaarde kon koppel aan stygende aandeelhouer waarde nic. Die hipotese is dat daar 'n aantal faktore is wat die aandeelhouer waarde van 'n maatskappy bepaal en dat bedryfs bestuur standaarde maar net een van hierdie faktore is. 'n Literatuur studie is gedoen om te bepaal wat die verwantskap is tussen puik bedryfsbetuur standaarde en die skepping van aandeelhouer waarde. Die bewyse vanuit die literatuurstudie is dan gebruik om die hipotese mee te toets. In Hoofstuk 3 is die vennoe van McDonald' s om hoe bedryfsbestuur standaarde te handhaaf evalueer aan die hand van die literatuur studie. McDonald's se sukses in die implementering van die ander faktore wat lei tot verhoogde aandeelhouer waarde is in Hoofstuk 4 bespreek en terselfde tyd vergelyk met die verrnoens van sy grootste mededingers. Eerstens is die aandeelprys van McDonald's met die van sy grootste mededinger (Wendy's) vergelyk en tweedens is die strategie van McDonald's en die impak daarvan op aandeelhouer waarde bespreek. Ander belangrike faktore soos kliente waarde skepping. effektiwiteit van waarde toevoeging en direkte finansiele impak op aandeelhouers is ingesluit in die bespreking. Daar is gevind dat daar twee hoofredes is waarom McDonald's nie daarin geslaag het om bedryfs bestuur uitmuntenheid te omskep in aandeelhouer waarde nie: 1. McDonald's het in vergelyking met sy mededingers nie goed genoeg gedoen m.b.t. die ander faktore wat aandeelhouer waarde bernvloed nie. Hierdie faktore is kliente waarde skepping en effektiwiteit van waarde toevoeging. 2. McDonald's se bedryfs bestuur standaarde het begin afneem. Dit word gestaaf deur laer waarderings in klante tevredenheids bepalings. Die onvermoe van McDonald' s om die bogenoemde faktore te implementeer word deur die klante tevredenheids bepalings, vergelykende finansiele resultate en 'n aantaJ indirekte maatstawwe gestaaf. Daar word dus voorgestel dat McDonald's sy stralegiese fokus moet verskuif vanaf bedryfs bestuur optimisering na kliente waarde skepping. Die organisasie struktuur en besigheids prosesse van McDonald's sal dus deur bestuur herorganiseer moet word om die verandering in strategie te kan ondersteun.

Texto completoStarting with a simple fast-food brand to a global phenomenon, McDonald’s became an example for a million of companies. The aim of this work is to understand the multinational functioning of McDonald’s and how it adapts to different cultures. Itanalyses also the way in which global companies try to build their own marketing and communication politics in different countries.McDonald’s’ case in Lebanon is one of these aspects which illustrate the diversity of these strategies. Lebanon is a country in which the culture is complex. Among East and West,and besides being influenced by religion and geopolitic situation, the cedars’ country shows modernity, tradition and McDonaldization. In this study, we enlighten strategies that made of McDonalds a global leader of fast-food. We also explain how McDonald’s, one the most criticized companies in the world, is one of the most known and gainful companies in the same time

Texto completoFollowing two years spent to work at McDonald' sand to have climbed the hierarchical levels from general-purpose team-member to person in charge for zone (station of assistant of the manager within the restaurants), the author endeavoured to highlight the process which leads a considerable proportion of employees of the chain to being invested deeply in and for the company. The first part of the thesis has the aim of presenting the organization by confronting four distinct speeches relating to it : that of the author, relative with his experiment of participating observation, that of the various people interviewed concerning their lived within the company, that of the leaders via several documents of internal and external communication intended to the employees and to the public, and the speech of the " organisational system " in particular via the documents intern with the organization intended for the formation and the performance evaluation. This first approach makes it possible in the second part to encircle how the organization generates mechanisms of being able which induce the alienation of the employees to the system while supporting their adhesion. Finally, the third part has the aim of theorizing the process of adhesion of the employees to the organization by highlighting "psycho-organisational correspondences" between the psychic structure of the subject (according to a psychoanalytical approach) and what the organization of work within the restaurants and the management practices in the company make it possible to fill like unconscious aspirations at the employees

Em um contexto de transição alimentar e nutricional, mas com um discurso cada vez mais preocupado com consumo mais saudável e sustentável, as empresas têm buscado se adaptar às exigências e aproveitar as novas oportunidades de mercado que valorizam o alimento mais saudável e que esteja relacionado a práticas ambientais sustentáveis e à qualidade de vida. Estratégias de marketing de alimentos que evidenciem esse tipo de consumo são desenvolvidas com o intuito de reposicionar as marcas à uma imagem positiva, mesmo que sejam ações de empresas que comercializam alimentos considerados não saudáveis, como as redes de fast-food. Com isso, este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar estratégias de marketing alimentar e nutricional utilizadas na internet por uma rede de fast-food. De modo a atingir o objetivo proposto, foram propostos três estudos distintos e complementares. O estudo 1, elaborado em forma de ensaio conceitua o marketing alimentar e nutricional (MAN) como um fenômeno mercadológico do ramo alimentício industrial que expressa em suas mensagens valores de saudabilidade e sustentabilidade em uma dimensão ampla da alimentação coletiva e sistema alimentar. Para os estudos 2 e 3, foi realizado um estudo de caso de uma rede de fast-food na internet. No estudo 2, foram descritos os principais eventos ocorridos em que a empresa estudada implementa ações de MAN no Brasil. Ao final foram comparadas as estratégias de MAN entre os sítios oficiais da empresa nos diferentes países das Américas. Por meio da análise de conteúdo verificou-se estratégias similares mas com adaptações de internacionalização entre os países. As etapas de produção e consumo do sistema alimentar foram as mais evidenciadas. Os países da América do Norte foram identificados com mais estratégias de MAN em seus sítios. No último estudo, referente ao artigo 3, com base nos pressupostos teórico-metodológicos da Análise de Discurso Crítica, buscou-se relacionar os aspectos discursivos presentes no uso do marketing alimentar e nutricional de uma empresa de fast-food por meio da análise documental de um sítio exclusivo de umas das campanhas da empresa que se relacionava ao MAN. A campanha analisada tinha uma proposta dialógica com o consumidor a fim de esclarecer dúvidas sobre a origem, modos de produção e propriedades nutricionais de seus produtos e outras informações sobre a marca. Por meio da análise de discurso crítica de vertente britânica, revela-se o uso da linguagem pela empresa estudada para se manter em posição hegemônica. Destaca-se a culpabilização do indivíduo pela obesidade e a não responsabilização da empresa diante desse problema social, além de características positivas serem evidenciadas nos produtos ou ações em detrimento de outras negativas. A partir dos três estudos verificou-se o potencial do trabalho desenvolvido para incentivar as discussões dos diferentes atores em prol de um sistema alimentar sustentável e saudável e também propor ações para cada setor envolvido. ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
In a context of food and nutritional transition, the society has been concerned on increasingly healthy and sustainable consumption and thus, companies have sought to adapt to the demands and seize new market opportunities that value the natural food, the nutritional value and that is related to sustainable environmental practices and the quality of life. Food marketing strategies that demonstrate this kind of consumption are being developed in order to reposition the brands to a positive image, even if they are advertisements of companies that sell food harmful to health, such as fast food. Therefore, this paper aims to analyze the discourse of food and nutritional marketing strategies used in the internet for a fast food chain. To achieve the proposed objective, three distinct and complementary articles were proposed. In article 1 an assay was developed to conceptualize the food and nutritional marketing (FNM) as a marketing phenomenon of the industrial food industry that value in their messages values of healthiness and sustainability in a wide dimension of collective alimentation and food system. This conceptualization was presented through reflections on some issues of contemporary food and the positioning of companies that dominate the market against them. For the articles 2 and 3, was conducted a case study of a fast-food chain on the Internet. In study 2, were described the main events that happened in the studied company implements actions of FNM in Brazil. At the end we compared the strategies of FNM between the official sites of the company in different countries of the Americas. Through content analysis, there was verified similar strategies but with adaptations of internationalization among countries. The stages of production and consumption of the food system were more evident. The countries of North America have been identified with more strategies of FNM on their sites. In the latest study, referring to Article 3, based on the theoretical and methodological assumptions of Critical Discourse Analysis, we tried to relate the discursive aspects in strategies of food and nutrition marketing from a fast-food corporation through documentary analysis of a unique site of one of the company campaigns that was related to FNM. The campaign analyzed had a dialogue proposal with the consumer in order to answer questions about the origin, methods of production and nutritional properties of their products and other information about the brand. Through critical discourse analysis of British strand, reveals the use of language by the company studied to keep itself in hegemonic position. Highlights the culpability of the individual by obesity and non accountability of company before this social problem, and positive characteristics are evident in the products or actions over others negative. From the three studies it was found that the potential of the developed work to encourage discussion of different actors towards a sustainable and healthy food system, and also propose actions for each sector involved.

Texto completoThe McDonald's Corporation is not only the largest system-wide sales service in the world, it is a phenomenon in its own right, and is now recognized as the most famous brand in the world. By providing a detailed analysis of the extent to which the McDonald's Corporation adapts or imposes its labour relations policies in Europe, this volume represents a real life case study revealing the interaction between a global multi-national enterprise and the regulatory systems of a number of different European countries. Key features include: an overview of the McDonald's Corporation's development and structure; an analysis of its corporate culture and the issues of franchising; an examination of key union strategies, including systems of co-determination, consultation and collective-bargaining; and a chapter dealing specifically with European legislation, in particular the McDonald's European Works Council. The author systematically analyses the conflict between the McDonald's Corporation and the industrial relations systems of the European countries within which it operates, and exposes this conflict as an 'unequal struggle' between economic liberalism and collectivism.

Texto completoThis article analyses the establishment and subsequent meetings of the McDonald's European Works Council and raises a number of questions. Who is an `employee representative' for the purposes of the EU Directive? How are such representatives elected in practice and what roles do existing national sub-structures play? Can employee representatives adequately coordinate their roles in the absence of significant unionisation? The experience of the McDonald's EWC suggests that where workforces have low levels of unionisation and employers are opposed in principle to the prescribed arrangements, a non-union firm can frustrate even the limited aims of the Directive. Furthermore, legally underpinned national-level sub-structures, which are often assumed to make such European-level bodies accountable, may fail to do so in practice.

Texto completoThere is growing evidence that multinational enterprises (MNEs) increasingly develop organisation-based employment strategies, which promote the transmission of employee relations practices across national borders. This article provides an analysis of one MNE’s employee relations practice and what appears to be its preference for operating, where possible, independently of national industrial relations systems. The findings, which draw on a UK/German comparison, raise a number of questions about the adequacy of even highly juridifed national systems to protect workers rights in practice.

Texto completoThis article reports on the union recognition dispute that took place at the MacDonald's food-processing plant in Moscow. It examines this dispute in the context of McDonald's employment practices worldwide, the interventions made by international and local unions, and Russian government bodies. Despite these interventions it became impossible to either organise the workforce or establish a collective agreement. The case illustrates the difficulties facing both local unions and global union federations when confronted by intransigent multinational companies, especially in low-skilled sectors in transitional economies.

Texto completoThis paper is based on a comparative study of the UK and German operations of the McDonald’s Corporation. The main focus of the paper is the interaction between multinational enterprises (MNEs) and the German system of co-determination. Commentators have suggested that industrial relations practices in host countries are particularly difficult for MNE’s to avoid because they are so deeply embedded in societal frameworks. However, there are also opposing global pressures for MNEs to impose their industrial relations practices across national borders in order to transmit ‘best practice’ to their subsidiaries. Ferner and Edwards (1995) suggest that Germany is something of a ‘test case’ for MNEs because of the strength of its legislative underpinning and institutional arrangements. Most analysis on the German system of co-determination has suggested that it is only small and medium-sized firms which avoid or undermine the German system (Lane, 1989). However, evidence brought together in this study suggests that along with other large companies and MNEs of different origins and across different industries, McDonald’s have been able to take advantage of weaknesses in regulation in the German system of co-determination. The paper puts forward a typology of possible ‘avoidance strategies’ within the German system.

Democracy, freedom and equality have been the core and vital values for America. These core values are represented not only in its culture but its commercial aspects as well. With the end of the World War Two, American social needs increasing can be shown in both automobile industy and indispensable people daily need–food. The evolution of the fast-food restaurant- The McDonald''s is usually compared with the development as well as the change of American society. McDonal''s adopted the assembly line of Fordism and the codifying of craft knowledge of Taylorism to uplift its quality of products, which formed a special public culture for eating. Besides, there are several devices like drive through and hiring women as clerks compared with the background of the United States then. The great management success of McDonal''s made the Fordism and Taylorism accepted by other corporations. The McDonaldization, therefore, comes from the mass duplication of different kinds of Corporations. By this way, the birth of the McDonald''s comes from the needs of American social background at that time. De facto, the success and achievement of McDonald''s also gave a rise to the revolutionary change in other American corporations. In addition, the success of the McDonald''s in America makes it global. The McDonald''s duplicates the same American fast-food traits effectively and successfully in different cultures and nations. McDonald''s conveys American values and spirit while the people around the world are holding a hamburger in their hands, which makes people begin to think the main influence of McDonald''s is not restrict only within food but in some other aspects.

Texto completoThis article focuses on the workforce characteristics of the German and UK operations of McDonald’s Corporation. The UK workforce is characterised by predominantly young workers with very limited work experience, the German workforce is much older and mostly foreign workers. The analysis suggests that despite these differences and differences in labour market regulation, there is a key similarity between the workforces. The corporation is able to draw on similarly “weak” and marginalised segments of the labour market and these segments are likely to be particularly acquiescent to managerial prerogative. National institutional arrangements can still constrain the employment relations policies of multinational enterprises (MNEs). However, this analysis supports the notion that there is a growing diversity within national systems increasingly explained by MNE policies and practices. This does not necessarily mean that national systems are becoming redundant, but that there is a dynamic relationship between such systems and the needs of MNEs.

Texto completoThis paper examines the problem of effectively regulating the labour relations practices of multinational corporations. It focuses on the activities of the McDonald's Corporation in a number of European countries. The findings suggest that public and private codes of conduct have a very limited effect and that determined and well-resourced corporations can not only undermine regional forms of regulation - such as that provided by the European Union - but also, and to a considerable extent, national-level regulation. This is particularly evident in the area of independent trade union representation. Although its aim of avoiding collective bargaining and union recognition wherever possible is only partially successful, McDonald's appears to have developed a number of highly effective strategies for limiting the presence of trade unions at restaurant level, particularly in avoiding or undermining statutory works councils and union representation rights.

Texto completoOn October 18, 1982, the Ronald McDonald House of Indiana (RMHI) opened near downtown Indianapolis on the campus of Indiana University Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI), located within walking distance of the prestigious Riley Children's Hospital. The Ronald McDonald House (RMH) concept represented an almost perfect intersection between philanthropy and families in need. Creating the RMHI offered the opportunity for individuals, corporations, and benevolent organizations to come together and build a "home-away-from-home" for the families of sick children. When the RMH idea arrived in Indianapolis in the late 1970s, a group of collaborators representing the McDonald's corporation and restaurant owners, Riley Hospital, IUPUI, and the Indianapolis community banded together to make it a reality. On October 18, 1982, after nearly three years planning, fundraising, and construction, the RMHI's advocates and their supporters celebrated the successful opening of Indiana's only RMH. After this momentous occasion, the RMHI's board of directors and their community and corporate partners worked throughout the 1980s and 1990s to sustain, operate, and expand the home they created for the families of seriously ill children receiving treatment at Riley.
