Based on the films, The points that make Ray Kroc and the brothers different from each other was having different way of thinking how the business should work within the opposite point of views. Ray Kroc was an proactive and ambitious salesman with really huge growth as part of the business works. While, the brothers were thinking about keeping the quality and consistency on each product that they sell. So, they felt that their business was content and enough for them as long as they can maintain the services and productions. It was showing persistent condition of them and the difference compared with how Ray Kroc thinks.
Regarding whether selling out the business to Ray Kroc, It could be seen from many perspectives since I believe from how the brothers’ perspectives were felt betrayed that the business grew into the one that they did not envision and expect in the beginning. However, on the other side, the deal allowed the brothers to leave out the business while getting financial compensation as a part of business “partner” I could say. So, whether saying if selling the business to Ray Kroc was a good deal or not. It kinds of depend on how we see the deals. But to be honest, I would say It was a win-win deal for them since the business grew into really huge multinational scale with high peak upscale within certain period of times.
And also about local franchisees make money, It was mostly through sales, and commissions. While Ray Kroc, received money through many ways such franchise expansion, franchise right and license, and also company stocks.
I feel like McDonald’s was just one of the example of how the business model works. There are many kind of business works including the various aspects including in it and McDonald’s was one of it that grew really well until present condition where there are around 40 thousand of total stores worldwide. It grew the economical purpose and also helps the countries with hundreds thousands of employments and also meeting the demand of food production business on almost all countries over the world.
