McDonald's China: The Expired Meat Scandal
內容大綱
In July 2014, a Shanghai television station revealed that Shanghai Husi, a Chinese subsidiary of a reputable US-owned food supplier, was producing substandard meat products. McDonald's was one of its biggest fast food clients and had been sourcing from the supplier for more than two decades. After cutting tie with Shanghai Husi, McDonald's China and its branches in Hong Kong and Japan were forced to pull a number of products from the menu due to a severe shortage of meat and vegetable supplies. The impact of the scandal was clearly reflected in the poor performance of its sales and stock. The food scare dissipated the general belief that food produced by foreign brands was better than that from Chinese counterparts. With large foreign-owned suppliers in China no longer guaranteeing reliability, what could McDonald's China do to strengthen its supply-chain management? What lessons should it learn from the incident? Would it be better for McDonald's China to run its own food processing plants in China?
