PREFACE
There is a large gap between theoretically knowledge and practical knowledge about handling
and managing a business. Only book`s knowledge can`t help in building up an eIIective
administrator.
A through and practical study, knowledge and learning can only be useIul to become more
eligible and competitive. Due to this point oI view each and every student oI M.B.A. has to
undergo the industrial training to execute business enterprise as per GTU norms, which is really
helpIul to the students Ior making their bright career.
Master oI Business Administration course is design with the objective oI preparing the most
competent person with a view to achieve this objective in the best possible manner.
Thus, GTU has specially included the practical subject oI summer internship training as per
syllabus.
According to it is compulsory Ior every students oI MBA sem.3 to prepare report on company
in any country.
We consider our selI very Iortunate that we got opportunity to prepare report on country.

eight by the company, and Iourteen percent by aIIiliates. t`s partner brands include Boston
Market, Chipotle and Donatos Pizzeria, which are all located primarily in the United States, and
Aroma CaIe, located primarily in the United Kingdom. Foreign operations contribute around
51 oI system wide sales and about 65 oI operating proIits. ts main source oI income is
through Iranchise Iees. Under the conventional Iranchise arrangement, Iranchisees provide
capital by initially investing in the equipment, signs, seating and decor oI their restaurant
businesses, and by reinvesting in the business over time. The Company shares the investment by
generally owning or leasing the land and building. Franchisees in the United States generally
have the option to own new restaurant buildings while leasing the land Irom the Company.
Franchisees contribute to the Company's revenue stream through payment oI rent and service
Iees based upon a percentage oI sales, with speciIied minimum payments, along with initial Iees.

generally consistent throughout the world. One oI the companies major cost is advertising

History of McDonalds
The business began in 1940, with a restaurant opened by brothers #ichard and Maurice
McDonald in San Bernardino, CaliIornia. Their introduction oI the "Speedee Service System" in
1948 established the principles oI the modern Iast-Iood restaurant. The original mascot oI
McDonald's was a man with a cheI's hat on top oI a hamburger shaped head whose name was
"Speedee." Speedee was eventually replaced with #onald McDonald by 1967 when the company
Iirst Iiled a U.S. trademark on a clown shaped man having puIIed out costume legs.
McDonald's Iirst Iiled Ior a U.S. trademark on the name McDonald's on May 4, 1961, with the
description "Drive-n #estaurant Services," which continues to be renewed through the end oI
December 2009. n the same year, on September 13, 1961, the company Iiled a logo trademark
on an overlapping, double arched "M" symbol. The overlapping double arched "M" symbol logo
was temporarily disIavored by September 6, 1962, when a trademark was Iiled Ior a single arch,
shaped over many oI the early McDonald's restaurants in the early years. The Iamous double
arched "M" symbol in use today did not appear until November 18, 1968, when the company
Iiled a U.S. trademark.
The Iirst McDonald's restaurants opened in the United States, Canada, Costa #ica, Panama,
Japan, the Netherlands, Germany, Australia, France, El Salvador and Sweden, in order oI
openings.
The present corporation dates its Iounding to the opening oI a Iranchised restaurant by #ay Kroc,
in Des Plaines, llinois, on April 15, 1955, the ninth McDonald's restaurant overall. Kroc later
purchased the McDonald brothers' equity in the company and led its worldwide expansion, and
the company became listed on the public stock markets in 1965. Kroc was also noted Ior
aggressive business practices, compelling the McDonald brothers to leave the Iast Iood industry.
The McDonald brothers and Kroc Ieuded over control oI the business, as documented in both
Kroc's autobiography and in the McDonald brothers' autobiography. The site oI the McDonald
brothers' original restaurant is now a monument.
With the expansion oI McDonald's into many international markets, the company has become a
symbol oI globalization and the spread oI the American way oI liIe. ts prominence has also
made it a Irequent topic oI public debates about obesity, corporate ethics and consumer
responsibility.
11
McDonald's restaurants are Iound in 119 countries and territories around the world and serve 58
million customers each day. McDonald's operates over 31,000 restaurants worldwide, employing
more than 1.5 million people. The company also operates other restaurant brands, such as Piles
CaIe.
Focusing on its core brand, McDonald's began divesting itselI oI other chains it had acquired
during the 1990s. The company owned a majority stake in Chipotle Mexican Grill until October
2006, when McDonald's Iully divested Irom Chipotle through a stock exchange. Until December
2003, it also owned Donatos Pizza. On August 27, 2007, McDonald's sold Boston Market to Sun
Capital Partners.

A. Political Factors
The international operations oI McDonald`s are highly inIluenced by the individual state
policies enIorced by each government.
On the other hand, the company is controlled by the individual policies and regulations oI
operations.
SpeciIic markets Iocus on diIIerent areas oI concern such as that oI health, worker
protection, and environment.
All these elements are seen in the government control oI the licensing oI the restaurants
in the respective state.
There are also other studies that points to the inIringement oI McDonald`s Stores with
reIerence to the existing employment laws in the target market.
ike any business venture, these McDonald`s stores have to contend with the issues oI
employment procedures as well as their tax obligations so as to succeed in the Ioreign
market.
B. Economic Factors
Branches and Iranchises oI Iast Iood chains like McDonald`s has the tendency to
experience hardship in instances where the economy oI the respective states is hit by
inIlation and changes in the exchange rates.
Their problem depends on the response oI the consumers on these Iundamentals and how
it could inIluence their general sales
n regarding the operations oI the company, Iood chains like McDonald`s tend to import
much oI their raw materials into a speciIic territory iI there is a dearth oI supply.
The rate at which the economy oI that particular state grows determines the purchasing
power oI the consumers in that country..
C. Socio-Cultural Factors
McDonald`s indulge a particular variety oI consumers with deIinite types oI personalities.
t has also been noted that the company have given the markets such as the United
Kingdom, an option with regards to their dining needs.
Additionally, those who are aged just below the bracket oI thirty-Iive are said to be the
most Irequent consumers oI McDonald`s Iranchises.

Technological Factors
McDonald`s generates a demand Ior their own products. (2006) The company`s key tool
Ior marketing is by means oI television advertisements.There are similarly some claims
that McDonald`s are inclined to interest the younger populations more. The existence oI
play spots as well as toys in meals oIIered by the company shows this actuality. ( 1995)
Other demonstration oI such a marketing strategy is apparent in the commercials oI they
use. The like has become endorsers Ior McDonald`s worldwide 'loving` it campaign.
Elements like the inventory system and the management oI the value chain oI the
company allows Ior easy payments Ior their suppliers and other vendors which the
individual stores in respective markets deal with.
The integration oI technology in the operations oI McDonalds tend to add value to their
products. Basically, this is maniIested in the improvements on its value chain.
E. Legal Factors
egal Iactors is tied up with the socio-cultural attributes oI the market on which they
operate. For instance, operations in predominantly Muslim countries require their meat to
conIorm to the ,, requirements oI the law.
n the same regard, those that operate in countries in the European Union should conIorm
to the existing laws banning the use oI genetically modiIied meat products in their Iood.
Other legal concepts like tax obligations, employment standards, and quality
requirements are only a Iew oI important elements on which the company has to take into
consideration. Otherwise, smooth operations shall be hard to achieve.
F. Environment
The social responsibilities oI McDonald`s on the state are inIluential to the operations oI
the company. These entail accusations oI environmental damage. Among the reasons
why they are charged with such claims is the employ oI non-biodegradable substances Ior
their drinks glasses and StyroIoam coIIers
