MCDONALD’S ALTERNATIVE STRATEGIES 2
Abstract
McDonald’s is an extremely successful company that has racked in a huge profit since starting
due to their business model. However, in recent times, their revenue has been declining and is
due to strategies they are continuing versus comping up with new ones. Recently, McDonald’s
has proposed to start sourcing sustainable coffee globally by 2020 for their stores and also
bringing back old toys to rekindle the child in older consumers. While the goal for the company
is to make their coffee sustainably sourced worldwide, their set time to reach their goal is very
limited. This is why McDonald’s should consider backward integration so that they can buy
coffee farms and reach their goal faster. Retrenchment is the final alternative strategy for the
company because closing some stores will also aid in their sustainable coffee goal, but also in
making up for profits lost from bringing back old, happy meal toys instead of creating better toys
for a younger target audience.
Keywords: backward, integration, retrenchment
