Charlie Bell became chief exeeutive 0f McDonald’s in April.Within a month doctors told him that he had colorectal cancer.Atier stockmarket hours on November’22nd,the fast-food firm said he had resigned:it WOUld need a third boss in under a year.Yet when the market opened,its share price barely dipped then edged higher.Atier all,Mc Donald’s had,again,shown’how to act swiftly and decisively in appointing a new boss.
Mr.Bell himself got the top job when Jim Cantalupo died of a heart attack hours before he was due to address a convention of McDonald’s franchisees.Mr.Cantalupo was a McDonald’s veteran brought out of retirement in January 2003 to help remodel the firm after sales began falling because of dirty restaurants,indifferent service and growing concern about junk food.He devised a recovery plan,backed by massive marketing,and promoted Mr.Bell to chief operating officer.When Mr.Cantalupo died,a rapidly convened board confirmed Mr.Bell,a 44-year-old Australian already widely seen as his heir apparent,in the top job.The convention got its promised chief executive’s address,from the firm’s first non-American leader.
Yet within weeks executives had to think about what to do if Mr.Bell became too ill to continue.Perhaps Mr.Bell had the same thing on his mind:he usually introduced Jim Skinner,the 60-year-old vice—chairman,to visitors as the“steady hand at the wheel”.Now Mr.Skinner(pictured),an expert on the firm’s overseas operations,becomes chief executive,and Mike Roberts,head of its American operations,joins the board as chief operating officer.
Is Mr.Roberts now the new heir apparent?Maybe.McDonald’s has brought in supposedly healthier choices such as salads and toasted sandwiches worldwide and,instead of relying for most of its growth on opening new restaurants,has turned to upgrading its 31,000 existing ones.America has done best at this;under Mr.Roberts.like-for-like sales there were up by 7.5%in October a year earlier.
The new team’s task is to keep the revitalisation plan on course,especially overseas,where some American brands are said to face political hostility from consumers.This is a big challenge.Is an in-house succession the best way to tackle it?Mr.Skinner and Mr.Roberts are both company veterans, having joined in the 1970s.Some recent academic studies find that the planned succession of a new boss groomed from within,such as Mr.Bell and now(arguably)Mr.Roberts,produces better results than looking hastily,or outside,for one.McDonald’s smooth handling of its serial misfortunes at the top certainly seems to prove the point.Even so,everyone at McDonald’s must be hoping that it will be a long time before the firm faces yet another such emergency.
请回答下列问题。
The main reason for the constant change at the top of McDonald is______________.
选项
A、the board’s interference
B、the falling sales
C、the health problems of the chief executives
D、the constant change of its share price
答案
C
解析
细节题。文章第一段提及Charlie bell辞职的原因是他患了直肠癌;接着又在第二段说他升任总裁是因为前任总裁在准备讲演时因为心胀病突发而去世。这样,麦当劳在一年内就不得不寻找第三位总裁。可见麦当劳高层频繁更换人员的原因是这些总裁的健康问题。
