There is a book on the topic called "Golden Arches of the East. I have pasted two reviews of the book below:<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Golden-Arches-East-McDonalds-Asia/dp/0804732078<br /><br /><b>Amazon.com Review</b><br />What does it mean that McDonald's has become an integral part of daily life throughout East Asia--so much so, in fact, that many Asians have ceased to consider the American hamburger chain "foreign" at all? The five scholars who contribute essays to Golden Arches East have taken a novel approach to cultural anthropology. Call it hamburger historiography, perhaps, but their analysis of McDonald's ascendancy in the East has much to say about both the corporation itself and the changing values of Asian societies. Despite widespread criticism of McDonald's as a symbol of global homogeneity and environmental degradation, not all of these changes have been negative. In Hong Kong and China, for instance, McDonald's has actually contributed to improving standards of bathroom cleanliness and table manners, according to the authors. And the transformation has cut both ways; McDonalds itself has been forced to adapt to local culture and tastes. In studying how McDonald's has been assimilated into Asian societies, Watson et al. provide a fascinating portrait of cultural accommodation, compromise, and change. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.<br /><br /><b>From Library Journal</b><br />From a historical perspective, McDonald's Ray Kroc may be viewed as the latest in a line of foreign rulers who conquered Asia. From Japan to South Korea to Taiwan, Hong Kong, and, most recently, China, the ubiquitous Golden Arches proclaim the victory of American hamburger culture. But is McDonald's the vanguard of a process of globalization? The five anthropological case studies gathered here by editor Watson in this absorbing, accessible study suggest a more complicated answer than yes or no. They show that, partly because of its own localization strategy and partly because of the consumers it targets, McDonald's quickly assimilates to the culture of the countries where it operates even as it contributes to modernizing changes in those diverse Asian settings. In particular, McDonald's is no longer an exotic import but part of the local milieu. Here is that rare academic study that belongs in every library.?Steven I.

Because a lot of them are in high position and can help take a decision on this. <br /><br />Yea, a lot of Ghanaians would throng to the McDonalds brand for sure. Gotto check on this UK Mc-libel trial. People have to be educated about McDonalds :-)MIghTy Africanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09052671185056191270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4957153574047966177.post-24137157414474805162010-10-02T05:43:59.449-07:002010-10-02T05:43:59.449-07:00Appalling news!

I would argue the food is not even that cheap in the UK - after I ate one I was starving again 30 minutes later. Last time in the UK, the smell alone prevented me from entering the store.<br />I suppose all the controversy surrounding them and the UK Mc-Libel trial will not arrive in Ghana.<br />But watch all the sheep who will rush to eat there in order to be 'modern'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4957153574047966177.post-86697542953391557342010-10-02T03:38:22.703-07:002010-10-02T03:38:22.703-07:00McDonalds in Ghana.

The menu in GH will be a duplicate from Bronx (same across the US)<br /><br />This is one of those times that I wish Ghanaian authorities had balls of platinum. A decade ago, they were worried about sanitation. It's good to know they believe we have gotten cleaner. <br /><br />Too bad Ghanaians won't listen to anti-McDonalds views and be fore-warned.Ghana_Hall_of_Shamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15631542486349684529noreply@blogger.com
