The Founder

1. Kroc focused on expanding the business and making money, while brothers focused more on the quality of their product and the customer experience.

2. Yes, I think McDonald’s brothers did the right thing by selling out to Ray Kroc because he came up with a system that made things effective. I think it was a good short term deal.

3. The local store franchisees makes money by leveraging its product and fast food to franchisees

4. Ray Kroc built one of the largest restaurant chains in the world and employed thousands of people and made millions of dollars. He first made his money selling paper cups and milkshake machines.

5. After watching the film it didn’t change my view on McDonald’s. But I appreciate how the franchise remains committed to growth

Ethics

The company I will talk about is the technological company Hewlett Packard. As someone who owns an HP laptop, Printer, ink cartridges, and desktops. HP is one of the most respected organizations in the world through incorporation of corporate social responsibility.

HP strongly contributes to the community development in reference to the corporate social responsibility. HP is one of the main technology suppliers and the company has many sustainability initiatives. Sustainability is firmly integrated into the company’s product design process, which aims to decrease the environmental impact of products across their life cycles. Due to its industry leadership in sustainability, HP has received much external recognition in recent years. 

An ethical issue in business is the social reaction of the organization. In order to become a more socially responsible and sustainable business I think the manager should create a positive workplace that will have its employees engaged and encouraged to gain high performances. HP can also increase labor productivity of workers by investing or creating incentives for increases in technology and human or physical capital.
