The difficulty in implementing this program would be getting people to buy into the idea of hiring these skilled immigrant workers. American has this notion that we are the best at everything. People may feel that these skilled immigrant workers are not qualified to do such jobs. In order to combat this I would have people like Mr. Cash tell his story. I would have Mr. Cash explained that his skills in accountant and his knowledge of the stock market is what allowed him to afford the expenses associated with traveling to America. I would have him share his story of how he was taken advantage of and the struggle he faced to care for himself and his family

Kroger would like to be included in the ACD for Anchorage. Which is currently in their Kroger-TeamCo and Kroger – TeamCo STEP portfolio. A little background on the Kroger/TeamCo relationship: Kroger, recently submitted a full redemption request to TeamCo (TeamCo is a FoF and the majority of their business is with Kroger). As a result, TeamCo has started the liquidation process and will no longer exist as of January 2018.

The Harvard business review, stated that “in 1992 the Chinese government granted foreign companies greater access to markets, KFC China’s managers gradually developed the blueprint that would transform the chain.” (Yums' China, 2017) Although they have done well for themselves they struggled, as growth was steady but slow and their customer base was shrinking. “In November 2016 Yum China Holdings, Inc. became a licensee of Yum brands in Mainland China; they have exclusive rights to KFC.” (Yums' China, 2017) Yum controls approximately 7,300 restaurants and more than 400,000 employees in more than 1, 100 cities.

I asked Jennifer how they got to Burger King, and she stated they took Katie's

McDonald’s began as a barbeque, and the brothers strictly offered burgers, fries, and pop. Ray Kroc heard about McDonald’s one day and went to visit the restaurant. Kroc was surprised by their efficiency and the quality of the food. Kroc liked the fact that the brothers could focus on the quality of food, due to the limited menu items. Subsequently Kroc realized their success could amount to much more and shared his vision. Kroc told the McDonald brothers that McDonald’s could be a national business serving people across the country. (At this point, Kroc did not even think about being international). Dick and Mac were thrilled with what they heard, so in 1955 Kroc founded the McDonald’s Corporation and opened the first McDonald’s in Des Plaines, Illinois. By 1960 Kroc had bought exclusive rights to McDonald’s. In 1961, Kroc developed Hamburger University where new employees were trained on how to run a successful McDonald's. Kroc wanted to develop the most efficient methods to store, cook, and sell food, so he had a laboratory built at Hamburger University where students' test different ways to make McDonald's more productive. Hamburger University is still in use today in the search for ways to better McDonald’s. McDonald’s had their first sit-down restaurant in 1962, and then in 1975, McDonald’s had opened their first drive-thru restaurant in Arizona. The first drive-thru restaurant was

As mention before, Restaurant Brands International is a merger company that contains Burger King, a coffee shop and a restaurant called Tim Hortons. Since it was a merger that occurred in 2014, there isn’t much info for the company; however, since Burger King has been almost as old as McDonalds so much of the info will come from Burger King. Burger King is practically the same as McDonalds created in 1950s yet a few years later after its competitor was born. The main difference of how it was created was that Burger King started off like a stove and that name of the stove was named Insta-Boiler.

It was an August in 2011 when my family moved to the United States when I was twelve years old. Coming to this country, not knowing a single word of English is like going to an intensive war without artillery. On our way to Florida, we stopped to eat at burger king. Man! I felt that I was in a fancy restaurant. Back in my town, where they sell cheese burgers, the building was made of brick walls with no cement supporting the bricks and the roof of aluminum. Ordering was simple, writing down what you wanted. On the order hand, in burger king you have to verbally order your food. I can still remember what my mom was trying to say “Nome-row-Uno” with her hand doing signs. It was a struggle getting our order done.

Answer to Question 1. MITRE is following the committed expert strategy. Its recruiting focus is targeted. MITRE does not resort to broad recruiting channels because it’s costly and doesn’t attract the right kind of candidates. MITRE mostly uses internal sources to hire new people.

Burger King promotes their products by sending out direct mailers every month with discount coupons to one of their target market, which are young adults and low-income families. The mailers advertise “Over $70 dollars in savings”. “One of the coupons in the mailer offers two Whoppers, two small french fries, and two small drinks for $ 8.99” (BK mailer , 2016).
