...Internal and External Factors - McDonalds In today’s business world both internal and external pressures drive the corporate mission. Managers from all levels play an intricate part to the overall success of the business. The functions of management are planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. With globalization, technology and innovation companies must continue to stretch their imaginations to reach greater heights. Even though companies need to make continuing changes, both internal and external customers assist in the company’s overall success. Tami Scurti - Globalization In 1940 in the city of San Bernardino California the first McDonalds hamburger was served. Today there are more than 33,000 McDonalds in 118 counties (about McDonalds, 2011). To take this operation from a tiny bar-b-que drive up, complete with car hop service to the conglomerate it is today, is the essence of globalization. McDonalds restaurant is aggressively globalizing. One of the reasons they are so successful is their ability to create new foods for the market in which they are serving. In India one may order a McSpicy Paneer. A Paneer burger is vegetarian and made of curd cheese, and a very popular item. In Japan one may order a seaweed burger. Occasionally in France one can purchase a rabbit burger and wash it down with wine. Another reason for the success of McDonalds globalization is that they do not try to bring the American McDonalds to each country they bring McDonalds...

...Introduction The aims of this assignment are to measure the outcome of students’ learning in terms of knowledge acquired, understanding developed and skills or abilities gained in relation to the achievement of the learning outcomes. Learners are expected to use their acquired knowledge to prepare a business report of not less than 3,500 words, clarity of ideas and presentation would attract extra marks as well as use of own initiative and real and imaginative scenarios to demonstrate understanding of the course. COURSE WORK- PROCTER & GAMBLE Zeroing in on the first moment of truth Procter & Gamble, a world leader in consumer packaged goods, sells nearly 300 brands in more than 160 countries. It has sales of $40 billion a year and 130 manufacturing sites around the world. P&G measures consumer satisfaction at two levels, which it calls the two “moments of truth.” The first moment of truth occurs when the consumer reaches the shelf and finds that the desired product is, or is not, available. This is a critical moment, because if the product is not immediately available, the consumer usually moves on to buy a rival product. The second moment of truth depends on the buyer’s satisfaction when consuming the product. This, too, has a crucial impact on consumer loyalty, but is beyond the scope of this case study. Detailed consumer surveys in July 2000 told P&G that in 55% of cases (75% for promotional items), consumers were not satisfied when they looked...

...BACHELOR OF COMMERCE (B.COM.,) PAPER – 2.1 MANAGERIAL ECONOMICS UNIT – I CHAPTER - I SECTION - I Definition of Managerial Economics Managerial economics refers to those aspects of economics and its tools of analysis most relevant to the firm’s decision-making process. According to MeNair and Meriam, managerial economies consists of the use of economic models of thought to analyze business situations. Some writers consider managerial economics as the integration of economic theory with business practice for the purpose of facilitating decision-making and forward planning by management. The underlying idea of all these definitions is that managerial economics means economics applied in decision-making. So we may consider managerial economics as a special branch of economics bridging the gap between abstract theory and managerial practice. It may be pointed out here that effective decision-making at the firms’ level calls for a careful analysis of a choice between alternative courses of action. Economic theory offers a variety of concepts and analytical tools which can be of considerable assistance to the manager in his decision-making process. In fact actual problem-solving may require many skills and tools which are not available in the traditional economist’s. For example, knowledge of accounting and of statistical concepts and methods, which are not taught in economics, can help the analyses to apply more effectively the economic...

...Question Responses * DQ#1: What is the importance of statistics in business decision making? Describe a business situation where statistics was used in making a decision. 1. Using statistics to evaluate the performance of your business. Taking all factors into account, determine whether you are making or losing money. In addition, determine the trend of your business. For example, determine whether, over time, you are making more or less profit (or loss). Track the share of the market that your business holds, and how this changes over time. Evaluate all these factors for each product type, even each model, in your company's line. The statistics to use here are simple line and bar graphs of data. These data can alert you to where you need to change aspects of your business, and how quickly you have to make that change. Furthermore, statistics are an excellent way to determine how you should allocate your resources to increase sales. Sales in a given market are a result of a number of factors, such as pricing, the size of the sales force, and the type and number of advertisements placed. However, these factors will not be equally important for every product. You would use multiple regressions to determine which of these factors are most important, and how much changing your asset allocation (for example, the size of the sales force) will change sales. 2.

DeGroote School of Business, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada L8S 4M4 The task of selecting project portfolios is an important and recurring activity in many organizations. There are many techniques available to assist in this process, but no integrated framework for carrying it out. This paper simpli®es the project portfolio selection process by developing a framework which separates the work into distinct stages. Each stage accomplishes a particular objective and creates inputs to the next stage. At the same time, users are free to choose the techniques they ®nd the most suitable for each stage, or in some cases to omit or modify a stage if this will simplify and expedite the process. The framework may be implemented in the form of a decision support system, and a prototype system is described which supports many of the related decision making activities. # 1999 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd and IPMA.
