Reflection Analysis
•   Surprised by how easy it is for new firms to enter the market and how
    large firms like McDonald’s create brand awareness through large
    marketing campaigns….(MATT)

•   The fast food industry is recession proof. There will always be a need
    for a quick convenient dinner. There may be subsets in both the US
    and international markets but the cheeseburger will always be
    king…(Elizabeth)

•   Methods and ways in which the different companies differentiate
    their product vary across the board…(Andrew)

•   Surprised by how US companies dominates the global fast food
    industry. Why they have not yet successful in the Chinese market
    compared to other markets. Recession and Fast food industry, how
    massive the industry, US impact in other cultures, industry’s impact in
    US economy (GDP)
