  • Mcdonald's Case History, 2006–2015
    McDonald’s Case History, 2006–2015 Larry Light and Joan Kiddon As a companion to the book, we include this online case history of McDonald’s using only published information. The original Six Rules book described the 2002–2005 McDonald’s turnaround and our role in that business success. In this case, we detail the years 2006–2015 to show how the brand surfed the turnaround momentum and eventually found itself in need of another revitalization. The new McDonald’s turnaround is still in its infancy as this case comes online with our new book on the revised Six Rules. Hopefully, the initial success of the third‐quarter 2015 performance is the beginning of another new era at McDonald’s. At the end of this case, there are some questions for you to think about. In answering these questions, you will need to synthesize the information over the 10‐year period discussed, 2006–2015. As you read the book and learn about the ways brands fall into trouble, get out of trouble, and can stay out of trouble, you will see these brought to life in this McDonald’s case. McDonald’s Case History Year 2006 THE STATE OF THE BRAND The Situation By the end of December 2005, Russ Smythe, head of Europe, Claire Babrowski, head of operations, and Marvin Whaley, president Asia operations, had resigned. Larry Light had ended his three‐year contract and was slated to leave January 1, 2006. By August, Mike Roberts, chief operating officer (COO), would be gone as well. And soon after that, Bill Lamar, head of marketing for North America, would retire.
