Any company with the aim of making a huge impact on the globe is willing to work in any setting provided they are making the right sales and revenues. It is critical for a company to make the right choice that will champion for the company’s position within that society. It becomes hard to sanction such provisions while making the ideals means of addressing the sales as they arise within the society. KFC is looking for new ways of delivering its products across the world, hence, opened shop in Damascus Syria in 2006. This was good, but the fighting has made it difficult to make sales when people are not even getting enough food. By being a multinational company, it is susceptible to geopolitics and must use its resources to meet its demands. The reaction of a company towards meeting its core demands within a global front is important because it denotes the role it plays in defining the global political front.
Geopolitics and Global Organizations
Every time one makes a study regarding international relations, it is clear that every country is connected to the other in a different way. However, all of them are looking for ways of establishing their relationship and make better interactions that are beneficial to them. The idea is to bring out the needed relationships as well as make the needed consultations that will provide constructive relationships (Schwartz, 2013). The important thing is to create a precedence that constructs the required description of the broad spectrum of ideas within the region. An idea that could meet such demands is based on the geographical determinism that presents such definitions within the workplace. Ideally, the society only recognizes what it considers as ideal and leaves little room for meeting such phenomenon (Schwartz, 2013). The concept is to create a regional force that supports such interests. Every region has its needs and that means delivering new relational strategies that are ideal when meeting such ideals.
The focus for any company such as KFC is to get an area that provides the most cost-effective means of addressing its needs and make it easier to understand the role of each program in meeting such ideals. It is important to determine what the differences are between each region then work on creating harmonies that will describe something better for the company’s development (Schwartz, 2013). The intended choices are based on the political actors that determine the role of space in meeting their revenue demands. KFC has been largely successful in and out of the US. The opening of a branch in Damascus was an idea that was right on time (Heffez, 2013). The group was just making an investment into a country that was at the heart of the Middle East, hence, offering clients there a chance to identify the situations that were right for increased developments. The role of such developments was to allow for an increased role in defining globalization and benefiting from the largely untapped Syrian market (Heffez, 2013). KFC was looking for new ways of appreciating the interests that have emerged when working towards deconstructs that are ideal when working in any society. The region was hard to gain entry into because the Arabs were not as enthusiastic about the American products.
With KFC into the country, it was now easier to develop its brand and come up with something new that would establish a better way of development the changes within the system. It was ideal for the development of a country that was ideal for the development of a strong ethical way of operation in such a region (He & Sappideen, 2013). Leaders understand that they must recognize the role of such developments in a country and appreciate the domestic politics as well as work with the human potential within that place. It will also establish various measures required to create powerful relationships between a country and the multinational companies working within. It must provide the needed attention, resources, and workforce to make the place ideal for the development of sovereign means of addressing the predictions as they happen within the workplace (Schwartz, 2013).
Every country has its ways of addressing various changes that combine the basis of a company’s presence and use it to sell the same to different investors. When a company like KFC wants to close its stores, it is bound to make the same mistakes in future. However, Syria has become a risky place for anyone wishing to invest in the country (Heffez, 2013). It has not been able to create a peaceful environment and ISIS has been an issue of concern across the world. Instead of making choices and changes that do not meet the demands of the society, Syria has to offer security or else KFC will just walk away the diplomatic changes are ideal but the company needs to protect its employees and investments (Yongcheng, 2015). It has to attain the level of development that will make it easier to support the changes within and work on delivering what is right for everyone. The basic defense system is based on the frameworks that will encourage more changes across the nation (He & Sappideen, 2013). The company wants to gain more strength in associating this with the similar phrases such as interdependence when working with foreign companies. The raw materials needed come from one region and the transportation has to follow an elaborate supply chain system (Schwartz, 2013). The problem is that the war has made everyone fearful of making any supply because the rebels control one area while the government has its support from another. This means that the seamless connection is not present at all. It is not flowing as intended to make the processes within KFC as efficient as possible. Instead, the company is making losses (He & Sappideen, 2013).
More people are not farming and that is making harder for the company to get the raw materials they need they are suffering from the inability to ascertain the changes needed to combine various dimensions from both the past and the present to deliver what is right within the community (Yongcheng, 2015). The country will lose more investors if the insecurity increases. The role of the government is to assure its citizens of increased access to security and raw materials so that the market can get what it desires. In the current situation, KFC is not providing the right products for its people because it is not attaining a better way of dealing with emerging market. Ideally, the market is the driving tool and that means the turmoil in all these countries makes it harder to push on with the intended developments (Heffez, 2013).
The best way of working on such an issue is by having a strong leadership team. Leaders are supposed to offer directions and associate the same with such changes so that the effects of the system are dealt with when handling changes within it. The turmoil is a huge turn-off and the management must work on making the right decisions (Yongcheng, 2015). The figurehead position of the leader is to ensure that the responsibilities needed to attain the right sources of inspiration. The management is ready to make the best performance and that is a source of authority. The leader has to offer the right direction that allows management of the issues at hand so as to attain the right changes (He & Sappideen, 2013).
The leader must also be able to monitor the situation and regularly offer the information needed to advise on the decisions made. The same must be made possible through the dissemination of information at the right time. The head of the KFC store in Syria was aware of the situation at hand and disseminated the word to the head-office. Afterward, he was able to work with what was right by assuring them that the situation was worse and drastic actions were needed to save on the investment as well as protect the employees. By examining the risks involved, it is possible to establish a new way of dealing with the issues at hand and make the right decision, hence, the closure of KFC stores in Syria.
