Let’s face it – pretty well everyone we know has eaten at McDonald’s at some time or other. But why is McDonald’s so successful? Particularly as many people would agree that their food is only just OK. Therefore, if it’s not their core product offering driving their success, then what is?
To find out, let’s go back to the beginning of their success story. It was in the 1950’s when Ray Kroc, a milkshake machine salesman, got a big order from the McDonald’s brother’s hamburger store. They bought six machines that had the capacity to make 48 milkshakes at one time! Ray was fascinated to find out why a local hamburger store would want to make so many milkshakes. He found out that they had very efficient processes and systems that enabled them to make many hamburgers in a short period and serve many customers quickly. Obviously, Ray saw significant potential in this local hamburger store and eventually worked with the McDonald’s brothers to expand store numbers.
Since then, McDonald’s has streamlined, fine-tuned and systematized their food production process even further. This allows them to provide great speed and consistency of product. This gives their customers the reassurance of knowing exactly what they are going to get, no matter which McDonald’s store they visit.
Today, McDonald’s is a major owner of real estate and has stores in thousands of key locations throughout the world. This obviously provides great convenience to customers. And to make their offering even more convenient, McDonald’s have added drive-thru options and extended trading hours at many of their stores.
They also provide a good range of facilities including easy parking, comfortable seating, playgrounds, restrooms, and sometimes even free newspapers – all within clean and modern surroundings.
Despite their success, in recent years McDonald’s has tried to adapt to the changing needs of the market with their broader and healthier menu. And to support this change, they have heavily promoted their new menu in order to keep their strong brand relevant with today’s consumers.

Your instructor will obviously look at your website, but this part of your document explains your thought process on why you made the particular choices that show up on the website. Also…Explain why you did not create a ‘real’ web site if you did not. Were you glad that you did not have to create a ‘real’ web site…or do you think that everyone should?

I want you to read one of the articles (it does not need to be the most recent or the front page content). However, I want you to read and report on an article and the article must address the changes in business, sales, marketing and advertising that have evolved due to the pandemic.
Then I want you to explain what you believe are the most interesting new business adaptations will make 2021 a better year than 2020. More critically, I want you to consider what a post-pandemic marketing world will look like. We have already seen progress in new business models like delivery services, and healthcare management (remote versus in person). What else is likely to improve our daily life as we adapt to the possibility of a vaccine, a recovery both economically and physically as a healthy population, and new technolgy advancement due to necessity.
For responses, I want you to take one of the concepts from another post, and follow it through. Describe it in more detail and add some of your own context to it, based on your own search.

1. The article that I read was Today Cofepris will define whether to authorize the application of the Pfizer vaccine in Mexico. Since COVID first started, many business shut down or had the employees working from home, which can make it very difficult for the employees. The article states that Canada will most likely approve the vaccine and have it available for the public to recieve it. I think it would be great if more countries start approving the vaccine and having it available, because I do believe that will help slow everything down and get back to a bit of normalcy. However, I also believe the there will be many business that will decide to continue working from home even if the vaccine is available and we have gotten back to a normalcy, because they have found it easier to work from home and do not have to pay rent for an office building. For example, I believe that Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation will continue to work from home, even after all of this is over, because they have found it nice to work from home and helps them financially since they do not have to pay rent for their office building. Also, because of COVID it has helped them become more tech savvy, which has helped them more financially.

2. Looking at the article about the liveleness on our bisnesses and such, you can see a lot of different changes in the buisness world today. This artile explains that focuses in what the world is looking into.
The new adaptaitions that are pretty helpfull on the pandemic was the delivery idea. However, i think due to all of the things that has happened, adding all the addaptations to the world doesnt help a lot of buisnesses stay in buisness. The fact that adding the adaptaion of lessening the amount of people working in a space at once is hurting a lot of people. In looking into a post pandemic moment i see more places opening and things going back to normal. When looking when the vaccine is possible it makes the possible future picutre come into play. I start to see more normality that could be added to this world. Hoping the pandemic ends fast but with everything to come it all has come to be decently able to acceptable.
