Abstract
McDonald’s has a high global brand awareness directly tied to its country-specific marketing initiatives. This study aims to compare McDonald’s marketing tactics in European and Asian markets by delving into McDonald’s global strategic marketing model, which includes. However, it is not limited to product categories, promotional techniques, and distribution networks. This study fosters reciprocal learning and provides additional ideas and methodologies for McDonald’s globalization strategy development in the future by looking for marketing variations in other regions and analyzing the strengths and shortcomings of both sides. By reviewing the literature and various secondary sources of previous relevant studies, it can be concluded that both the European and Asian markets have distinctive marketing methods that the other side lacks, which is inextricably linked to McDonald’s global customization strategy; thus, by analyzing the markets of the two sides, it may be possible to learn from the other side’s advantageous marketing modes through continuous optimization and improvement to attract more consumers. McDonald’s in other regions can also learn from its strategies to respond flexibly to different markets.
