KFC, a restaurant in the world’s leading chicken, it was up to 9000 jobs in the UK, Å“150-OE100E dollars invested in their field, which is to monitor the opening 200 new stores -300. 

In the next three to five years will create up to 9000 new jobs KFC across the country with special emphasis on the north of England and South Wales. New jobs will be several opportunities for people of all ages and abilities cooks Manager.

MCD is ready to extend its Happy Meal choices to win and retain customers, and may also McCafees introduction of gourmet and specialty coffees and other drinks and other foods such as cakes, cookies, etc. in the existing McDonald’s. Focus training on gifts for all the young generations, children, especially older people who are totally new concept. MCD should Shares offered during the festival. You should increase the space for space’s birthday and to try to college festival sponsor. 

After analyzing the marketing mix from McDonald’s, it is clear that the company, as a “global”, ie combination of elements of globalization and internationalization can be described. McDonald’s have achieved this by applying the principle “think globally, act locally”
