Q-1 writ a case report by identify the strategic issue faced by Mcdonald’s
There are a few serious strategic issues McDonald’s needs to address. A current challenge the company
faces is how to keep its prices low. As described in the article, customers now require better(and healthier) quality food than they did before. Such factor has driven McDonald’s margins down once the cost of ingredients they purchase from suppliers has gone up. Aware of that, McDonalds needs to keep optimizing its production process in order to keep its prices competitive. Secondly,the fast food market now is much more competitive than when the company started, forcing McDonalds to innovate and diversify (within its capability), to attend a greater number of customers. A good example of that was given in the article with McDonalds now offering coffee at its stores.

Identify a specific recommendation Support that recommendation with one piece of evidence to show that it would help resolve the strategic issue.
