Where will the will-be managers of McDonald be trained? [br] [originaltext]

McDonald has been in the Republic of China for 20 years. It’s considered the company’s fastest-growing overseas market. It already has more than 60,000 employees and more than 1,100 restaurants and it plans to expand to 2,000 outlets in three to five years. Each must be headed by a manager trained at McDonald’s Hamburger University or Hamburger U as it’s often called. There is a Hamburger U in Hong Kong and now one in Shanghai which becomes McDonald’s seventh worldwide trai-ning facility. Learning how to make hamburgers and fries is not part of the lesson plan. Instead, the focus is on how to run a business better. The move comes as foreign companies in China work to develop local managers and keep them on the job. McDonald’s plans to have 5,000 graduates from its Shanghai school in the next five years.
