All of his hustling has left him in a bad place among certain groups of people, often with him being known as a laughing stock as most of his products are less than useful.

Creativity and problem solving is relevant with these challenges as it can bring new and unique solutions to old problems. I believe McDonald’s can use three good problem solving techniques to bring about solutions. The first one is a “pros and cons chart”, this is a simple technique where a table is drawn up, with two titles, “pros” and “cons”. The pros and cons of the decision will be brain stormed and put under their respective titles, the title with the highest score after the brainstorming will be the decision. For example, using the “pros and cons” chart to solve their bad food image.
Problem: (Bad food image), changing suppliers.
Pros Cons
Better public image Losing a long term business partner
Healthier ingredients Ingredients may taste different to what customers are used to
Fresh start with suppliers
Opportunity to get better prices on food In this case, changing suppliers would be the winning …show more content…

The Delphi technique is a problem solving technique where you do not need to be in the same room to brainstorm ideas. For example using skype, E-mails or anonymous questionnaires. This can be used for the lack of flexibility challenge, an anonymous questionnaire can be sent to all of McDonald’s franchise owners to determine if all franchises are onboard with the, “Build your burger” solution and if not, they can suggest a possible solution. For the last challenge I would suggest the ‘DRIVE Technique’. This stands for Define; define the problem. ( slow service at drive throughs ) Review; get to the crux of the problem and find out why there is this problem. Identify; get to the bottom of the real problem and come up with possible solutions. For example, change how people order at drive-throughs by letting people use their smart phones to place orders and have a separate collection window. Verify; verify that solving the problem will achieve the end goal. Lastly, Execute; execute the plan and later evaluate whether the issue is

After watching the video, I know about how Whole Food get the organic products and what problems they are facing. Everyone knows Whole Food is one of the biggest company in the U.S, even though it can be survived the recession but has seen steady growth since 2009, but I don't think that its business model can sustain in the longer term. In my opinion, first, competition is one of the biggest challenges; second, in order to adapt to the tendency of economic cannot without any change. As we know, Whole Food's headquarters located in Austin, Texas. Central Market, one of the competitors, located in Austin and offers natural, organic products as well; and it's a lot of cheaper than Whole Food.

We can see this as a clear disadvantage. However, Qatar can now use this opportunity as a wake up call. Qatar has announced the import of cows ”A Qatari businessman is planning to airlift 4,000 Holstein dairy cows into the country as part of efforts to maintain milk supplies” and the increased investment in local produced goods. Even consumers are now more aware, the use of nudge theory along with consumers has made them far more interested in local products than imports from blockading countries. This can be shown positively in the current account in the future and insures food security in the long-term.

I think that people in New York City should be allowed to have water gun fights because It helps build teamwork, problem solving, and friendships. It is diverting because they help bring friends together, and eliminate their enemies. Some might argue that teens shouldn’t be allowed to have these water gun fights like the high school students in New York, because they might stimulate bad ideas, and might cause big fights in “who shot who first’, also there is the danger of getting hurt while shooting someone, or falling while trying to dodge a spray of water, but overall, they are harmless because you have to strategize who you have to hunt down and “kill” first, how to get to them, and how to kill them. “I told the driver to pull over to

However, there is another important area that we have to consider seriously about is how its system, so-called “Mcdonaldization”has influenced and continuously effecting our society.

Risk Analysis When it comes to risk every business and person has to deal with it, so as you may guess McDonald’s is not excluded from that list. When you are in the food industry and especially the fast food industry you take on many risks. These would include things like competition, changes in customer preferences, pricing, staying technologically advances, and not losing out on investments. As a huge company like McDonald’s you may think that their risks are minimal, they bring in millions every year, and McDonald’s are always successful and busy, but they too have a long list of risks on their 10-K. After reading through McDonald’s list of risks I want to first say that they are very broad in many of their risks.
