This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While franchising promotes economic and social welfare objectives, Elizabeth Crawford Spencer argues that monitoring and regulation are needed to address potential areas of abuse of the form that can result in costly market inefficiencies. This unique study surveys franchise-specific legislation worldwide as a starting point for a thorough examination and analysis of the role of both private and public regulation of the sector in the context of current theoretical approaches to regulating contractual relationships. The book concludes that properly calibrated regulation can minimize inefficient allocations of power and risk and lead to maximum economic and social benefits by promoting the development of small business, enabling the growth of entrepreneurial skills, and facilitating economic well-being and independence among SMEs. This comparative survey will prove to be invaluable for academics in franchising marketing, management, law and practice. The Regulation of Franchising in the New Global Economy will also appeal to franchise law practitioners, consultants, policymakers and those wishing to influence policy on all sides of the debate in the many jurisdictions that are engaging in the processes of adopting, or reviewing, franchise regulation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Franchising now represents more than 10% of the US economy and 50% of US retail sales, and this winning business model is now showing exceptional promise outside the US as well. Both franchisors and franchisees are beginning to discover immense opportunities to extend operations or build new franchises in emerging markets. Of course, success will depend on their ability to execute – and extending successful franchising operations outside their home markets requires significant new skills, knowledge, and expertise. In Global Franchising Operations Management, the field’s leading expert and author brings together an unprecedented collection of in-depth cases that illuminate the field’s unexplored opportunities, key pitfalls, and proven best practices. Ilan Alon thoroughly covers key challenges from both the franchisor and franchisee perspective, teaching lessons learned by Marks and Spencer, Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse, Athlete’s Foot, Kodak, Sari Organic, and other pioneers. Through these cases, he addresses pivotal issues such as: Should you take your franchise operation global? What unique marketing and demand management challenges will you face in doing so? Do Master Franchisee or Micro-Franchising strategies make sense for you? What are their risks, and can those risks be managed? How can you efficiently manage logistics, supply chains, and operations in unfamiliar markets? Whatever your role or potential role in global franchising operations, this book will be an indispensable resource.
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.
