Four Components Of Mcdonaldization

McDonaldization was found by George Ritzer to perform rationalization. McDonaldization is a process of doing task and breaking them down into smaller task. This is repeated until everything is broken down to its smallest components. There are four main components to McDonaldization. There is efficiency, calculability, predictability and control. Without these major components, McDonaldization wouldn’t of happened and this process wouldn’t of been a sociology experiment,

“George Ritzer defines McDonaldization as the process by which the principles of the fast-food restaurant are coming to dominate more and more sectors of American society as well as the rest of the world” (Marshall, 1998). Ritzer wrote a book called The McDonaldization …show more content…
The workers are also very busy and don’t have time to take the trash from the tables and throw it in the trash. It is easier for the customers to do it because the trash is the right in front of you and it would be nice for the customer to just get up and throw the trash away. McDonaldization has helped many companies become more efficient and have made people happy with how things are ran. People like to get whatever they bought quickly and McDonaldization has just done that. All companies should follow this because it will make the employees happier and the customers will be impressed and pleased when they receive their product. McDonaldization is becoming more popular because people like to get their work done and without any cost and not a lot of effort. The four principles for McDonaldization have been dominant and has changed how the world’s view of how work can be done. Nonhuman technology has changed how humans work too. Mcdonald’s has machines to what temperature the burgers should be cooked to, what size the burger should be, and it helps humans so they don’t screw up making burgers. Nonhuman technology has helped many people in their work. These machines have been used in assembly lines at factories which is a huge help for the employees. With the machines, it helps the employees not think as much, but still have control over the machines at all time.

I believe if we didn’t have McDonaldization, businesses would have trouble and would screw up a lot more. Things wouldn’t be done as efficient and they wouldn’t be the same product. Ritzer changed how people should work and I think that people are satisfied by how their work is being controlled. The nonhuman technology is a huge help because if we didn’t have that, people would have to do everything themselves and could have more problems. This would not make people happy because the customers like the things they buy working and to not have any problems with equipment they buy. All four components of McDonaldization are a huge part of why it is successful. Without the efficiency, calculability, predictability, and control, McDonaldization would have been a failure. McDonaldization has made a lot of people happy by how things are done and how quickly they are done. People want the size of the burger rather than the quality. People expect the same thing over and over again and if they want the burger than same if they were in California and if it were in Nashville, Tennessee. McDonaldization has evolved around the world and will keep evolving because the process is amazing. People should follow McDonaldization because it will make your employees happy and your customers happier. You will
