Abstract:
An unusual and unreported business model of public transport, known locally as a Community Franchise, was identified operating in a large Italian ski field. It is investigated by case study and compared to other more conventional ways of providing ski lifting services. The similarities between ski lifting and public transport are used to construct a hypothetical application of the regime to an urban setting. The study establishes the ways that the regime functions and how it differs from more conventional models of urban public transport in ownership, funding, and incentives. There is no expla

Franchising is emerging as a highly effective strategy for business growth, local employment and regional economic development. It is the most realistic and promising formula to emerge yet for the development of business skills and a thriving entrepreneurial culture in South Africa. Many prospective franchisees believe that when they pay their franchise fee, they are buying a business. Very frequently, the franchisor has not made the franchise relationship clear to the franchisee, which results inadvertently in deciding to run things their own way, break the franchise rules and ultimately fail

In the pre-relationship exploration stage of a business-to-business (B2B) relationship, firms find it difficult to evaluate other parties because of the prevalence of information asymmetry.

While majority research on B2B relationships is focused in the post-relationship phase, very little has been done to identify strategies that firms can adopt to signal their firm characteristics in the pre-relationship phase.
