The coffee cafe segment in India has been through volatile times in the past few years. While Barista changed hands at frequent intervals, another international brand Gloria Jeans decided to shut shop fearing intense competition from new players like Starbucks. On the flip side, a few other international brands such as Costa Coffee and The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf have focused on consolidating their presence in the market after announcing aggressive expansion plans. However, one brand that has had a firm footing in the market is the home-grown chain Cafe Coffee Day. It is not only credited with creating a market for coffee cafe business, but also expanded it manifold, thereby creating room for brands like McCafe by McDonald's and Di Bella Coffee to take a serious look at this business in India.

...as discuss coffee in relation to Globalisation Theory, and in particular to Ritzer’s McDonaldisation theory. It will conclude with the argument that the consumption of coffee is not only limited to people’s enjoyment of flavour or the feeling that caffeine provides, but is a social interaction in itself. Coffee is native to the mountains of Ethiopia, with the first historical records of it being roasted and brewed by the 1500’s. According to Mark Pendergrast, author of Uncommon Grounds: The History of Coffee and How It Transformed Our World, the general consensus is that coffee beans were then transported from Ethiopia, across the Red Sea to Yemen. For a time no fertile beans were exported, but an Indian pilgrim took fertile seeds to India and began the growing of coffee plants. The consumption of coffee then spread to England and to Europe by 1650. It is said that by the year 1700 there were over 2000 coffee house in London alone (ABC Rear Vision, 2009). Coffee beans are now grown in the area between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, in countries which are (mostly) developing. According to the International Coffee Organisation, Brazil produced and exported the most coffee beans in 2012 (International Coffee Organisation) With an emphasis on the Fair Trade movement, whereby companies are expected to conform to minimum standards of pay & appropriate treatment of staff, there appears to be a growing focus on the responsibility of the people both producing and drinking coffee...

...McDonald’s started as a small business in the USA in the 1950s (Stonehouse, Campbell, Hamill & Puride, 2004). Today, it has grown to be a global phenomenon with 34,000 restaurants in over 118 countries (McDonald’s Australia, 2014). Through this expansion, McDonald’s has faced the challenge of transferring a symbol of American culture to places where there are significant national, cultural and religious differences. This essay will analyse some management issues that McDonald’s has experienced. Firstly, the strategic debate regarding global integration versus national responsiveness will be examined. Associated with this issue, is the matter of diversity across different regions. Finally, the essay will consider McDonald’s corporate image of social responsibility in relation to environmental sustainability and increasing problems of worldwide obesity. McDonald’s as we know it today is a result of Ray Kroc taking the entrepreneurial hamburger ‘stall’ established by the McDonald brothers, and franchising the business with Ted Turner to create an international organisation (McDonald’s Australia, 2014). In the 1950s there was significant domestic growth in the United States of America. International expansion began in the late 1960s and 1970s, initially targeting Canada, the United Kingdom and western European countries of Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden (Stonehouse, et al, 2004). The first restaurant opened in Australia in 1971 (McDonald’s Australia, 2014). In 2001, McDonald’s...
