b. a selection of menu items that can be sold eventually in U.S. markets
c. A replacement of standard menu names with fancy names
d. a deviation from successful marketing practices
e. a reflection of failure of US menu items in those countries
Answer:
a. A combination of global and local marketing mix elements
Explanation:
The answer is that these menu variations are examples of a combination of global and local marketing mix elements because the company tries to position its products on a global scale but also adjusts its strategies locally to adapt the placement and distribution to the specific characteristics of each country.
The other options are not right because McDonalds is adjusting its offer in its market to be able to establish its position in that market and not to be able to sell the items in US markets or to replace standard menu names. Also, this is the result of analyzing how to better position in a new market and not a failure of US menu items in those countries.

From the question, we are informed that Rubina is the director of procurement at Baines Corporation and that she plans to send a memo to the employees in her department outlining some changes in the company's personnel policies as she believes that most of the employees will view the changes favorably.
Since she is of the opinion that most of the employees will view the changes favorably, she can describe the bottom line of the policy changes at the beginning of the memo. This is because she believes the memo will get a favourable audience. In a situation whereby she is not sure if it will be favourable, in the begining of the memo, she may have to offer and apology and tell them the rationale behind the memo before going into further details.
