51、食品如何被培育、生產(chǎn)、包裝、分配以及呈現(xiàn)的過(guò)程。 </p><p>　　隨著 1990 年對(duì)發(fā)展中國(guó)家貿(mào)易壁壘的取消， 快餐連鎖企業(yè)通過(guò)全球擴(kuò)張的方法得到了前所未有的發(fā)展， 更是大大加快了一些龍頭企業(yè)的全球化發(fā)展進(jìn)程。百勝餐飲集團(tuán)就是一個(gè)典型的聯(lián)合大企業(yè)的例子，旗下有肯德基、必勝客、塔可鐘、海滋克以及艾德熊等多個(gè)餐飲品牌。 2008 年，百勝集團(tuán)聲稱在多于110個(gè)國(guó)家以及區(qū)域開(kāi)有 36, 000 家餐飲店，其中，

52、肯德基無(wú)疑是百勝最強(qiáng)大的品牌，它在擁有 5, 253 家在美國(guó)的連鎖店以及 10, 327 家在全球的連鎖，僅僅在中國(guó)大陸就擁有2, 497 家。但是，麥當(dāng)勞至今為止仍是全球快餐品牌的領(lǐng)頭羊，同年，麥當(dāng)勞在全球共有 31, 967 家餐飲店，其中 56%的連鎖店更是開(kāi)設(shè)在本土之外，它在中國(guó)大陸擁有的連鎖店為 1021 家， 是2003 年的兩倍。</p><p>　　墨西哥、巴西、印度、 越南以及菲律賓等國(guó)家也紛

55、的快餐連鎖店到跨國(guó)企業(yè)在都有涉及。在發(fā)展中國(guó)家中，同跨國(guó)企業(yè)一樣，國(guó)內(nèi)企業(yè)也同樣實(shí)行農(nóng)業(yè)產(chǎn)業(yè)化、食品加工以及開(kāi)設(shè)快餐店等舉措。本地農(nóng)場(chǎng)主、制造商以及快餐公司現(xiàn)在使用的快餐業(yè)運(yùn)作的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)、流程以及科學(xué)技術(shù)都引進(jìn)自西方國(guó)家，這也就是全球化和本土化快餐業(yè)產(chǎn)生互作效應(yīng)的原因。 Schlosser認(rèn)為麥當(dāng)勞以及其它快餐品牌帶給發(fā)展中國(guó)家新的農(nóng)業(yè)系統(tǒng)和農(nóng)作物生產(chǎn)方式，使其的作物種類從國(guó)內(nèi)大宗主食更多的轉(zhuǎn)向了滿足外部需求。</p><

59、使得連鎖快餐業(yè)能夠如此迅猛的發(fā)展并且一直鞏固著其在市場(chǎng)上的份額。 在過(guò)去的五十年中， 快餐革命只要體現(xiàn)在一些龍頭企業(yè)通過(guò)各種各 樣的媒體形式讓消費(fèi)者感知到快餐的概念。比如麥當(dāng)勞和肯德基就通過(guò)大量的營(yíng)銷手段以及廣告達(dá)到了擴(kuò)大品牌形象的效果。</p><p>　　孩子依舊是快餐業(yè)的主要目標(biāo)群體，所以其營(yíng)銷手段還是以孩子為主。麥當(dāng)勞在 2008 年的總行銷預(yù)算是17億并且計(jì)劃在 2009 年推廣一個(gè)和大片阿凡達(dá)有關(guān)的營(yíng)
