PEST Analysis

Political
The business operation of an organization is always influenced by
the policies of state and its government.
In India, McDonalds business is also under the control of
governments rules and regulations
The main issue of controlling food business is health and other
issues are license, employee laws, tax issues etc.
Political instability of local state is also affects McDonalds business.

Economic
All companies are affected by ongoing global economic slowdown.
McDonalds India faces different scale of tax and revenue
measurement.
McDonalds also faces difficulties because of international currency
fluctuations especially in its global food distribution.
Local economical condition is also responsible for affecting
McDonalds operation.

Social
The life style of people is being changed and the demand of this
change affects McDonalds.
In India, Hindu people prefer vegetable, Muslim people avoid pork.
To fulfil the customers expectation, McDonalds needs to research
the market and also needs to provide effective food menu.

Technological
The impact of technological innovation is also considerable to meet
the customers expectation.
As all existing food chains for instance, KFC, Pizza Hut etc, compete
each other, McDonalds has to ensure the all technological access
to influence the customers.
Modern and speedy distribution channels, easy and quick payment
facility, customer entertaining equipment in store, wireless internet
facility in all stores etc. can help McDonalds to keep on its success.
