Golden Arches East: McDonald's in East Asia, Second Edition7 reviews

Stanford University Press, 2006

Grimace

+ Essential for any overseas business or Asian holding.
+ Not Your Typical Book About McDonald's Expansionism...

One point that is sorely overlooked in this otherwise extensive book is the socio-economic impact the introduction of the McDonald's character Grimace has had on East Asia.

The title fits the book very well since it does show that Ray did make a lot of gambles to make it all work out and he started out an average middle income citizen like everybody else. Lessons ...

Fast Food! Gulp! Gulp!1 review
Bernard Waber

Houghton Mifflin/Walter Lorraine Books, 2001

Smiles

Super Size Me, Indeed.

+ One of my faves
+ Excellent

My wife and I watched the "Super Size Me" DVD last night. It was the third time we watched it and we enjoyed it very much. Let's face it, Fast Food is a major facet of the American Culture. It's everywhere. Within five miles of our house there are "McDonalds" (2), "Jack in the Box"(3), "Karl's Jr." ...
