The frist McDonalds in Cochabamba, Bolivia is to open on Friday. We are preparing a protest of sorts. I am writing for help in putting together info. I have the piece by Liza Featherstonein LBO 86, a couple of list posts, but nothing else.
I would greatly appreciate ANY critical infomration on McDs, especially profitability, business and labor practices.
Also, I vaguely remember The Economist did a Big Mac index, which compared the cost of Big Macs the world over, as a sort of globalized index of costs/values. Does anyone have the citation? We would like to see where Bolivia stands on the global Big Mac index.
Many thanks!
Tom
