McDonald's Plan to Win (A)
By: Ramon Casadesus-Masanell, Karla Ingrid Gravis and Annette Kristine Rodriguez
Abstract
As of 2007, McDonald's had made significant progress on its “Plan to Win,” and the company was rewarded by reaching an all-time high share price. However, McDonald's competitors had expanded beyond the typical fast food giants, such as Wendy's and Burger King, as restaurants such as Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks, as well as new entrants such as Panera Bread and Quiznos began offering meals and snacks throughout the day.
