Others proclaimed that this way ?the return of imperialistic powers? and was an attempt to
?Westernize the eating habits? of Indians. Overzealous local authorities in the city of Bangalore used a
city law restricting the use of MSG (a food additive used in the chicken served by KFC) over a certain
amount as a pretext for temporarily closing down the outlet, despite the fact that the authorities did
not even have the equipment to measure the MSG content in the proportions stated in law. In the
capacity city of new Delhi a KFC outlet was temporarily closed down because the food inspector
found a ?house-fly? in the restaurant. Both of these issues got resolved through hectic consultations
with these consumer groups and through legal orders issued protecting the interests of the outlets.
Questions:
(a) In view of the above situation, critically examine the impact of social and political environment on a
firm?s operation in international marketers.
(b) After completion of your MBA, suppose you have been appointed country manager (Indian
Operations) in KFC, what steps would you take to cope up with the situation?
