...softness in Yum's business, the operating cash flows remain strong totaling about $1.6 billion for the first half of the year. Overseas, Yum has a very strong position and plans to expand its already very successful International division into continental Europe, Russia, and India. The "Live Mas" advertising campaign has been a success. The US division of Taco Bell has been the only bright spot, with comp store growth of 2% in the latest quarter. With expansion into china, Yum should increase in stock value over a longer period of time. Investing into Yum would be a smart and well paying investment. Since I've bought my shares in Yum I noticed an increase in stock prices. If Yum continues to grow we will see them become the highest paying food stock compared to McDonald's (MCD). But its competition also has expanded into china, many tough rivals, such as Domino's (DPZ), Chipotle (CMG), Chick-fil-A and McDonald's...

Osorio COM32 Research Title/Topic: Before and After Effects of Fast-Food advertisements in the perspectives of consumers/consumption behavior Introduction Food advertisements of different fast-food chains have always exerted massive amount of efforts to make their “ads” appealing and effective to the mass. From commercials, to billboards, to newspapers and etc., their advertisements caught the attention of consumers and it definitely paved way to make their sales at its peak. The problem is, sometimes, types of advertisements such as glittering generality, bandwagon and the like lead to giving false hopes to people for the sake of money. It even has come to a point where these companies prioritize “quantity over quality” that even the said advertisements lead to deception. The emerging world of advertising is inevitable and definitely uncontrollable. We, as consumers have been left with deciding whether to trust or to believe what the advertisements tell us. The effects of these food advertisements could trigger either positively or negatively in our lives. We become molded of these advertisements until they finally influence our lifestyle. We kept on being amazed and driven to purchase these products without knowing what it will affect us. This research will be beneficial especially to people who are fond of eating at fast-food chains.

...were similar, they were still different. Each province had a dialect different from each other. Since we have decided to extend our fast food hamburger franchise to include UAE (United Arab Emirates), Israel, Mexico and China we must first do some research on the culture, language, religious beliefs, and values of these new countries. The first thing I would research is the different cultures and how they will impact the business. Does their culture even allow for this type of food? In the articles that I researched, the countries that I will expand my franchise to will only have one major issue, which is the same issue in the United States. That issue is obesity. United Arab Emirates – With American fast food already being global I foresee no issues with the type of food prepared in my fast food chain expanding to the UAE. Since the 1980’s the Middle East has had American fast food chains. (Pulitzer Center, 2012) According to Shane McGinley “The UAE restaurant market is set to grow 30 percent to $780m in the next four years and will be dominated by American-style fast food brands, an industry expert have said.” (McGinley, 2011) Israel – Nathan Jeffay say “For two decades it has been flying the flag for American fast food in a sea of falafel shops and shwarma joints.” (Jeffay, 2010) He also states that several American fast food chains have already failed in Israel. So moving my franchise there would entail a complete change of the menu to exclude burgers and include falafels...

...Mc-Donald Vs Domino’s - Comparative Analysis Determinant Of Choosing Fast Food Restaurant And Their Service Quality BY:- ANUJ CHAUHAN (FINANCE + MARKETING) ITM UNIVERSITY, SITHOLI, GWALIOR ABSTRACT SERVICE QUALITY Parasuraman et al. (1988) introduced a 22-item scale, called SERVQUAL, for measuring service quality, the model has been widely adopted across industries. The scale was tested in 4 service settings different from those of the original test: a dental school patient clinic, a business school placement center, a tire store, and an acute care hospital. In service industries, customer satisfaction is always influenced by the quality of interactions between customers and the personnel involved in the contact services (1994). In the last decade, the movement towards quality had started to spread from the manufacturing sector to the service sector. The shift of focus to quality is basic for the service business to survive the competition, get acceptance from society, and be able to achieve its missions. In principle, the two main things closely related to services are expected quality and experienced or perceived quality. The first is the customers' expectations of service quality and the latter is the customers' perceptions of service quality. The customers will always assess the services they experienced by comparing them with whatever they expected or wished to receive. Services are behavioral rather than physical entities and have been described...

...Wah Delivery soon after listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2013. Hong Kong consumers showed strong support for fast food chains selling Asian ‘comfort food’. With rising awareness of the harms of over-consuming Western fast food, such as burgers and battered chicken and fish, Hong Kong residents lapped up the offerings of Asian ‘traditional’ or ‘comfort food’.

...to the research The UK fast-food market is worth an estimated £7.82 billion annually (Keynote, 2003), amounting to an average expense of £20/month per adult (McDonald, 2003). Due to busier consumer lifestyles and dual-working families with children, emphasis is increasingly being placed on quick meal solutions (Atkins and Bowler, 2001). This has resulted in a market growth of 19 per cent in fast food since 1998 (Keynote, 2003). UK consumers tend to regard convenience and wholesomeness as polar opposites, rather than a complementary type of food value (Jack et al., 1998). The factor of choice is characteristically broad in UK, owing to the willingness of the British to adapt to new styles of eating and drinking from all over the world. Portuguese chicken, Japanese sushi and Spanish tapas have joined the more traditional curry houses and French or Italian restaurants found in most British towns. However, the most traditional British venue - the local pub or hotel - still has the highest sector share of formal, sit-down restaurant meals. These results do not include the fast food such as burgers and fried chicken. On the other hand, other distinct concepts include pizza, curry and roadside restaurants. Background of KFC and McDonalds McDonalds is the world’s largest chain of hamburger fast food restaurants, serving more than 58 million customers daily. McDonald’s headquarters is located in Oak Brook, Illinois, United State. It is the largest chain of hamburger fast food restaurant...
