In one chapter, Sun Tzu discussed how the strengths and weaknesses of our enemy as well as our own should help to make clear the strategies we should use against our competitors. 

McDonalds has had some significant challenges recently. Please do some internet research on the current issues at McDonalds and especially their competitive challenges.
