Kroc, the founder of the brand McDonald's, is among the most influential entrepreneurs in the United States. He impresses people by his extraordinary managing skills to make the small restaurant of the McDonald brothers the first -class fast food supplier. Then, what is the secret behind his success? Maybe you can get a better understanding after reading the following interesting story.
It was said that besides Kroc, there was another Dutchman who also purchased the franchise rights from the McDonald brothers. However, the operation philosophy and the managing methods they applied differed a great deal. That was one of the main causes leading to their different results in the end.
Compared with the Dutchman, Kroc seemed to be short of management thought or something like that. He only cared about the running of the McDonald's to process the beef, but never thought to make profits from the feeding of the cattle.
The Dutchman appeared cleverer. He not only made great efforts to run the McDonald's, but also took all the opportunities available to make money. He invested in the beef processing industry, so that he can have more money into his pockets. He even opened up a cattle farm, not letting slip the slightest chance to get more profits.
Now, the branches of McDonald's under Kroc's management have spread over the world and are enjoying high popularity among people. What about that Dutchman? He is founded in a farm located in Netherlands and all he owns is the cattle.
Although the story is some kind of legendary, we can learn something from it to better guide our way forward.
