McDonald's Goes Vegetarian — In India

McDonald's Goes Vegetarian — In India | Globalisation and interdependence | Scoop.it
McDonald's plans to open the first in a series of all-vegetarian restaurants in India next year. But rest assured, in most locations around the world, meat will stay on the menu.

 

Many of the most successful global companies or brands use highly regional variations that are attuned to local cultural norms and customs.  The McAloo Tikki burger— which uses a spicy, fried potato-based patty — is the Indian McDonald's top seller.

 

Questions to ponder: What are the forces that lead towards an accelaration of human connectivity around the globe?  What are the postive impacts of this increased connectivity?  What are some negative impacts?  Are these impacts the same in all places?  Explain.

This could go either way, it could backfire, or it could make them profit by turning more people onto McDonalds. It could back fire because they are known for their 100% beef and for that all to change it could turn people away. If that were in the US it wouldnt last because most of the people in the US are not vegans, and almost half is obese and therefore gives more profit to the regular McDonalds.

this is a good way to at least start one part of the world off right. It doesnt look very good. It seems to have good flavor along with it so i dont think it would taste that bad. Sadly our nation still likes to stick with the good stuff and thats we our country is so obese.

I like the fact that McDonald's is taking a step to make their restaurants be suited to different cultures around the globe. I think that adding exclusive food on their menu for certain places will make a generic McDonalds become a tourist attraction and add curiosity to its consumers.
