Read the following case and answer the question below.

McDonald’s When a customer drives up to the speaker box at some McDonald’s drive-throughs, their order is placed with an employee located in a distant call center. The order, along with a photograph taken to the match the customer with the order, is then instantly displayed on a video screen in the food preparation area of the restaurant where the order is placed. Brainerd, Michigan – Ellie Feld pulled into the drive-through lane at McDonald’s the other day, craving a double cheeseburger. As she leaned out of the window of her Chevy Blazer to place her order through a speaker box, Feld was greeted by the friendly voice of an order taker she thought was working inside. Not even close. Four states away in a Colorado Springs, CO call center, “Linda” recorded Feld’s order and flashed it onto a computer screen inside the kitchen of the Brainerd McDonald’s. Less than 2 minutes later, Feld drove away, a smile on her face and a burger in hand. In these McDonald’s test sites, the drive-through turnaround time improved by 20 seconds and orders contained fewer mistakes. “In most McDonald’s you’ve got someone to take the order, make the change, and go get the food – you’ve got somebody doing three things,” said Glenn Cook, owner of Brainerd McDonald’s. “Here, someone is sitting at the call center and they have nothing else to do. They are not multi-tasking.”

Impact Case Studies

Introduction

When writing an impact case study, the ultimate aim is to demonstrate a clear link between research and impact. So before preparing a case study, it’s important to understand what research impact is. What is the meaning of the term? How can research impact practice beyond academia? What is the range of potential impacts (e.g., social, economic, cultural, environmental, and quality of life benefits)? What are the societal benefits beyond scientific knowledge? In a nutshell, when writing about the impact of your research you need to reflect on the ‘So what?’ question (so you did all this rigorous research, now ‘so what?’, in other words, ‘what impact did it make?”).

From Jhumpa Lahiri's SEXY:

When Miranda first expresses interest in the Bengali region of India, Dev rebuffs her question to know more by explaining his home city is “Nothing you’ll ever need to worry about”; similarly, when Miranda enters the Indian grocer and thinks about buying some of Laxmi’s favorite snack mix, the man behind the counter tells her it is “Very spicy…. Too spicy for you." On the other hand, when Miranda goes shopping for clothes she thinks a married man’s mistress ought to wear, she buys a cocktail dress that she’s assured will make Dev “want to rip it right off you”, even though she never gets to wear it out to dinner with him.
