Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ARE YOU READY TO HIRE YOURSELF? WHO hasn't had the inkling-or even the outright conviction-that we could be more successful, more fulfilled, and more satisfied if we could invest in ourselves? HOW MANY of us have given our time, our knowledge, our energy, and our loyalty to corporate careers, only to discover that our contributions don't guarantee gratitude, upward mobility, or even job security? WHY consider franchising? Franchise investors reap all the rewards of entrepreneurship-self-determination, personal and professional freedom, unlimited potential for profitability-without all the risks of going it alone. WHAT'S the difference? In franchising, someone has already dreamed the big dream, figured out how to make it work, marketed it well, and sold it to create a well-defined niche. And now, that person is looking for an investor and partner to help build on that success. HIRE YOURSELF WILL HELP YOU: - Leverage your expertise and resources to build a bridge out of the corporate world and into entrepreneurship - Learn how to choose a franchise concept that's the right franchise for you - Understand how to capitalize your investment and minimize your risks - Recognize and avoid common mistakes and traps - Know that franchising is all about working for yourself, but not by yourself

Download or read book The Economics of Franchising written by Roger D. Blair and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-04-11 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 2005 book describes in much detail both how and why franchising works. It also analyses the economic tensions that contribute to conflict in the franchisor-franchisee relationship. The treatment includes a great deal of empirical evidence on franchising, its importance in various segments of the economy, the terms of franchise contracts and what we know about how all these have evolved over time, especially in the US market. A good many myths are dispelled in the process. The economic analysis of the franchisor-franchisee relationship begins with the observation that for franchisors, franchising is a contractual alternative to vertical integration. Subsequently, the tensions that arise between a franchisor and its franchisees, who in fact are owners of independent businesses, are examined in turn. In particular the authors discuss issues related to product quality control, tying arrangements, pricing, location and territories, advertising, and termination and renewals.

Download or read book Franchising written by Carrie Shook and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "More than 540,000 franchised businesses dot the American landscape, ringing up total sales of $758 billion - which equals almost one-third of the nation's retail market." "No doubt about it, franchising is already big business and it's getting bigger every year. (A franchised business opens up every 17 minutes!)" "In this fascinating and thoroughly researched book, Robert and Carrie Shook - two experienced business writers - take you inside the franchising industry to show you how ten of the best-managed franchisors operate and the exact steps to take and to avoid if you're thinking of buying a franchise." "The ten enormously successful franchises they examine include fast-food businesses such as McDonald's, Pizza Hut, and Dunkin' Donuts... service providers like H&R Block, Century 21 Real Estate, Duskin Corp., and ServiceMaster... as well as Midas Mufflers and the 7-Eleven convenience stores. Each franchise is looked at in great depth, making you privy to information rarely divulged to those outside the franchising industry or even to most franchisee-owners." "Among other things, you'll discover what goes on inside the executive suites of these franchise operations... how key decisions are made and the business lessons that can be learned from their blunders; the sort of relationship that exists between each franchisor and its franchisees... training, services, and financing provided; fees and expenses to expect; how well a franchisor communicates with, and how extensively and strongly it supports, unit owners; candid comments from a wide cross-section of franchisees about what it's really like to own and run a particular franchise... how much money you can make, the amount of time you have to put in, the day-to-day problems you face, and anything else you'd ever want to know." "In short, you'll see "from the inside" what it takes to successfully operate various kinds of franchises; if you have the temperament and skills to succeed; and how to avoid every pitfall from inadequate policy manuals to needless restrictions or controls."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
