EXCERPTS

Enter Cantalupo

In December 2002, the board decided to oust CEO Greenberg during whose tenure McDonald's launched 40 new menu items but could not make even one of them succeed. McDonald's decided to bring back retired vice chairman, Cantalupo, the man behind McDonald's' successful international expansion in the 1980s and 1990s.

The board's decision to bring Cantalupo back was based on the belief that McDonald's need someone who knew the company well. Analysts felt that Cantalupo's challenges were to get the basics of service and quality right, reconstitute a tough "up or out" grading system that would weed out underperforming franchisees.

He admitted that achieving 10% to 15% growth rate was an unrealistic task. He also announced that the company would add only 250 new outlets in the US, which was 40% lesser that the figure quoted in 2002.
