McDonald’s Corporation is the world’s largest chain of hamburger fast food restaurant. McDonald’s are extremely famous all over the world as my SWOT analysis reflects the strength that they are operating more than 23,500 restaurants in 109 countries. It has little weaknesses and threats as compare to opportunities and strengths. Even though their products: hamburgers, fries, nuggets, cokes and so forth, have a relatively high level of fat and calories, they’re now trying to promote a healthier line such as salad.
I wonder if minimum wage increases helps with the “W” of high turnover…do you think it has?
