Dunkin Donuts is the MNE that I choose.
Dunkin Donuts is an American global doughnut company and coffeehouse chain based in Canton, Massachusetts. It was founded in 1950 by William Rosenberg in Quincy, Massachusetts. Its logo is two D's side by side in orange and hot pink. Dunkin' Donuts has opened more than 10,000 locations in 32 countries worldwide, which include more than 6,700 Dunkin’ Donuts locations throughout the United States and more than 3000 international locations. This figure compares with the 17,009 stores of coffee chain Starbucks, whose baked goods are usually prepared out of shop. Nearly all of Dunkin' Donuts locations are franchisee owned and operated. Only 77 franchisees exist west of the Mississippi River, mostly in Iowa, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico. Within its Northeast home base, however, Dunkin' Donuts is particularly dominant and can be found in many gas stations, supermarkets, mall and airport food courts, and Wal-Mart stores.

Some functions, such as tax planning and preparation, have long been provided by outside vendors, but increasingly more tasks are being outsourced.
Accounting and consulting firms traditionally provided services in taxation and compensation planning. Firms such as Berlitz and Windham International specialize in providing cross-cultural training, relocation assistance, and stress counseling. Executive search companies such as Korn/Ferry, Heidrick & Struggles, and Spencer Stuart
