Introduction
In this task I will evaluate the impact of cultural differences on international business
performance in the international market.
United States of America
The health of USA is controlled by an organization called U.S. Department of Health &
Human Services. It is the mission of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services
(HHS) to enhance and protect the health and well-being of all Americans. We fulfil that
mission by providing for effective health and human services and fostering advances in
medicine, public health, and social services. The USA population is around 318 million, and
each one of their health’s very important to the business who takes control of the health.
Childhood obesity is a serious problem in the United States. Despite recent declines in the
prevalence among preschool-aged children, obesity among children is still too high.
Approximately 17% (or 12.7 million) of children and adolescents aged 2—19 years are
obese. The prevalence of obesity among children aged 2 to 5 years decreased significantly
from 13.9% in 2003-2004 to 8.4% in 2011-2012.
Pizza Hut responds to this by offering a wide variety of Pizza toppings which are healthy and
vegetarian. As we all know the obesity for kids are increase in the USA due to the statistics,
in reaction Pizza hut offer more healthy foods to ensure that the kids eat healthy and not
consume too much. Secondly Pizza Hut also provides nutritional information about their
pizza and this displays the calories, protein, carbohydrate and fat. This is a good factor as it
provides information about the product and this is a good way to aware the parents of the kids
caloric intake.

The welfare consists of the support of the person through financial services. Welfare is there
to ensure that the individual beings are healthy, happy and in good care. The welfare system
in the USA is a big thing over there. This is due to the fact of the great population of USA, at
318 million. 110 million out of the 318 million in the USA are on welfare, which is very
high. The USA uses the welfare system in many different ways to help out the people who
suffer. For example, USA provides food stamp which is a voucher issued by the government
in exchange for food. In actual facts 41,700,000 million people are using food stamp.
Pizza Hut responds to this by ensuring that their deals are compatible also affordable for the
people who are less fortunate and rely on the US welfare state. There are a few states which
are high in low income and unemployment rate. Pizza Hut in the US which operates in the
areas of low income usually give special deals such as two pizzas for $10 and this is an
affordable expense for the population of people with low income. USA gives out $138 billion
dollars annually to the people who are in use for the welfare state, and this does affect many
big cooperation’s and the working class people, as the government of the USA do charge
cooperation taxes and income taxes to ensure that they receive enough to deal with the people
who are less fortunate.
