Business Matters: McDonald's shake-up 5 May 15

Tue, 5 May 15

After six straight quarters of declining sales, the new CEO of McDonald's says it's time to turn things around and reassert the company's identity as a "modern, progressive burger company". Steve Easterbrook's plans come under the critical eye of Patty Johnson, Global Food Analyst at Mintel. Ben Johnson of our US partners at Marketplace Tech talks to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella about the company's challenges, as well as gender equality and workplace diversity. With political tensions rising in Moldova, we shine a light on this little-known east European nation and hear from its recently ousted Prime Minister, Lurie Leanca. Former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina is one of two new Republican candidates to announce their intention to run for US President. We ask what her chances are and why business leaders have such a difficult time entering politics. We're joined throughout by Tony Nash, of Delta Economics in Singapore, and Shikha Dalmia, from the Reason Foundation.
