Can you think of another international company, that is U.S. based, that has had to adapt its product to mirror the cultural expectations of a new country?

McDonald’s has adapted to different cultures. For example, women in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, must wait for their orders at the single women’s counter.

During this long seclusion, he acquired a profound knowledge of Buddhism, which people say made him the compassionate person he was. He also intently studied science, English and western philosophy.
