Full textAbstract:
The social and economic contribution of franchising to many Western economies is widely reported (Alon, 2004). Franchising is a business model in which a franchisee is granted the right to engage in offering, selling, or distributing goods or services under a marketing system that has been designed by the franchisor (Justis and Judd, 2004). The franchisor permits the franchisee to use the franchisor’s trade name and advertising (Mendelsohn, 2004). The Australian franchising sector has achieved consistent growth since the 1980s, with franchising activity currently contributing approximately (12 percent) of the country’s gross domestic product (Frazer et al., 2008).
However, research has revealed that franchising systems may be unable to expand at the rate they desire owing to difficulties in obtaining franchisee finance and a shortage of suitable franchisee applicants (Price Waterhouse Coopers, 2009; Frazer et al., 2008). There are currently 56,200 business format franchised units operating in Australia (Frazer et al., 2008), accounting for approximately (5 percent) of all small business in Australia (ABS, 2009). Though this appears to suggest that franchising has the potential to expand, prior research has shown that the lack of available suitable franchisee candidates may constrain system growth and sector expansion (Frazer et al., 2008). Previous research shows that this is not a recent phenomenon (Knight, 1986; McGuire, 1971) and may be reliant upon how franchisors classify attributes that are desirable in potential incumbent franchisees (Frazer and McCosker, 1999; Hedricks and Kiefer, 2005; Michael, 2003). However, there appears to be a gap in our current understanding of how these impediments to franchise growth may be overcome. In addition to acquiring valuable insights into current recruitment practice, the primary purpose of this research is to sustain informed decision-making in the future through a study of the fundamental and under-researched question of how franchisors may overcome the shortage of suitable franchisees.
On this basis, a thorough enquiry into possible solutions to the problem associated with a shortage of suitable franchisees is warranted. Hence, the following research questions are posed.
Research question 1:
“What are desirable franchisee attributes?”
Research question 2:
“How can franchisors overcome the perceived shortage of suitable franchisees”?
This research focuses on theory development by integrating known concepts with new research and emerging marketing techniques that may be applied to this problem.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

Full textAbstract:
Problem investigated and objectives: Franchisees often complain that franchisors do not meet their needs, and are generally viewed as being unhappy with the franchise relationship between franchisees and franchisors. The aim of this paper is to investigate the level of satisfaction of franchisees with the franchise relationship, including the following elements: franchisee independence, support with the selection of a distribution point, allocation of geographical trading areas, support with the design and layout of distribution points, comprehensive training programmes, the provision of continuous market and product information and operational support, and advertising and financial support, including systems for bookkeeping.
Approach: The data represents two groups of the same franchise, namely franchisees operating for two years and less as franchisees and franchisees who have been operating for longer than two years as franchisees. The extent to which these two groups view the relationship elements differently will be examined.
Findings: The findings indicate that both groups had a high level of satisfaction with the franchise relationship between franchisees and franchisors, with the exception of identified opportunities, which could be further developed in order to increase the franchisees’ level of satisfaction with the franchise relationship between franchisees and franchisors.
Conclusion: In view of the results of this research, it was concluded that the franchisees of the selected franchisor in the franchise industry displayed a high level of satisfaction with the franchise relationship between franchisors and franchisees.
Keywords: Franchisees’ satisfaction, franchisee and franchisor, franchise relationships, marketing orientation, Franchise Association of Southern Africa (FASA), franchise agreement, franchise legislation.

Full textAbstract:
During the last decades, franchising as an organizational form has received a lot of attention from researchers and practitioners alike. While many studies have examined various aspects of franchising from the franchisor's perspective, little research has taken the franchisee’s perspective. Therefore, given the importance of franchisees in a franchise system, the lack of research about consequences from the franchisee's perspective, and that many of the previous studies have taken a top-bottom view, this research concentrated on the franchisee's performance. This study focused on business format franchising in the restaurant industry in two countries, Iran and Sweden. In this study, the three perspectives of entrepreneurship, strategic management, and marketing were used to study the franchisee’s performance. Moreover, the resourcebased view, relational view, and relational exchange theory have been used to find the influential factors in a franchisee’s performance. Therefore, by considering franchising as a mutual relationship and examining the influential factors in a franchisee's performance, the related factors of both the franchisor and franchisee, as well as the relationship between them, were examined. According to the franchisee’s related factors, the franchisor's related factors, and the relationship and environmental factors, 12 main hypotheses and 9 sub-hypotheses were developed. In total, 191 usable questionnaires from Sweden and Iran, comprising a response rate of 22 percent, were returned from the franchisees. In this study, confirmatory factor analysis was used to test the construct measurement; to test the hypothesis, hierarchical multiple regression analysis was performed. Moreover, the Chow test was conducted to integrate the data from these two countries. A primary contribution of this study is taking a bottom-top view in franchising research. This study also provided a detailed and holistic view about the consequences of franchising for franchisees. Moreover, this study, offers important contributions toward understanding entrepreneurial activities, as a controversial issue, in franchising outlets. The results provide interesting insights into the franchisee’s performance. While the franchisees’ related factors of absorptive capacity, Kirznerian entrepreneurial orientation, and social capital positively affected their performance, Schumpeterian entrepreneurial orientation and human capital did not affect their performance. Moreover, the franchisor’s related factors of system profitability, brand reputation, advertisement and providing raw material had a positive influence on the performance. However, training did not cause a difference in the franchisee’s performance. All relationship factors also positively affected the performance, and conflict and satisfaction mediated the relationship between trust and performance. Finally, the implications of this study and suggestions for further contributions in this stream of research are discussed.

Franchising is a form of business arrangement which has been claimed to offer a high possibility of business success.

The notion that franchising offers a successful guarantee for business operations warrants investigation into what factors contribute to likely success.
The characteristics of franchise firms have been identified as a significant factor in ensuring franchise success. In this study, franchise firms were classified into four groups using hierarchical cluster analysis: the beginners, the developers, the growers and the matures. The profiles were tested against reported performance measures, indicating that franchise firms in the growing group outperform firms in other groups. However, this is only one component which may influence a successful franchise development.
Relationship management is a second, critical area in building a strong franchise network. Some significant relationship building factors are explored in this thesis. Control, influence strategy, franchisee information asymmetry and communication strategy were found to be significant factors which lead to franchise competitive advantage. The results show that control and coercive influence strategy negatively influence franchise outcomes, while noncoercive influence strategy, information asymmetry and communication strategy positively enhance the franchise relationship. The results of multiple regression analyses also indicate that the combined effects of these franchise strategies have a significant impact on franchise outcomes; namely, financial performance, franchise goal congruence and franchisee satisfaction.
The findings suggest that franchise firms can adjust their strategies to enhance their business success. Control, influence, information and information strategies can be used to maintain and induce healthy franchise relationships within the franchise dyad. The study also significantly extends the existing understanding of franchise heterogeneity theories, key criteria of franchise business competitiveness, the unique business relationship between franchisor and franchisee and franchise factors contributing to franchise success in the current franchising literature.

Full textAbstract:
La franchise se caractérise par les liens particulièrement étroits existant entre l'entreprise du franchiseur et celle du franchisé. Ces liens, qui perdurent dans le temps, rendent la cessation du lien contractuel particulièrement dangereuse pour le franchiseur. Ce dernier cherche donc à encadrer le départ du franchisé via l'insertion de diverses stipulations contractuelles. Parmi elles, la clause de non-concurrence est la plus utilisée et la plus restrictive vis à vis de la liberté du distributeur. Cette clause est aussi la plus controversée. L'atteinte considérable à la liberté économique du franchisé, commerçant indépendant propriétaire de son fonds de commerce, permet de constater l'illégitimité de la clause de non-concurrence tandis que la protection du savoir-faire transmis à l'occasion du contrat de franchise constitue une justification insuffisante d'une telle interdiction. L'encadrement de la fin du contrat de franchise, qui demeure pourtant une nécessité, doit ainsi se faire au moyen d'autres mesures de protection réellement adaptées aux risques liés au départ du franchisé et auxquels la clause de non-concurrence est totalement inadaptée. Tout d'abord, le concept élaboré par le franchiseur apparaît comme étant particulièrement vulnérable face à la concurrence développée : tant par l'ancien franchisé que par l'ensemble de la concurrence, ce qui exige la mise en oeuvre de moyens de protection spécifiquement adaptés au travers du droit de la propriété intellectuelle, du droit de la concurrence déloyale et enfin du droit des contrats. Par ailleurs, l'organisation du réseau de franchise élaborée par le franchiseur constitue la seconde source de danger liée au départ du franchisé. La clause de non ré-affiliation représente un instrument juridique adapté face à cet enjeu.

Full textAbstract:
La franchise se définit comme « un système de commercialisation de produits et/ou de services » (Code de Déontologie). Trois éléments essentiels la caractérisent avec la fourniture d’une enseigne et de signes de ralliements de la clientèle, la transmission de savoir-faire et une assistance continue tout au long du contrat. Le franchiseur concède au franchisé le droit d’exploiter un concept avec l’obligation pour ce dernier de respecter l’ensemble des règles et procédures mises au point part le franchiseur. Cette relation inter organisationnelle présente un intérêt particulier pour la problématique du contrôle du fait de deux caractéristiques importantes l’indépendance juridique et financière des parties et l’interdépendance économique. Notre thèse porte sur l’étude du contrôle et son évolution tout au long de la relation de franchise. Une étude exploratoire nous a permis de proposer un modèle global et dynamique du contrôle reposant sur un séquençage de la relation en quatre phases et sur la mise en œuvre d’un contrôle pluriel. Dans une optique confirmatoire, nous avons réalisé une double enquête quantitative auprès de franchiseurs et franchisés de réseaux de franchise de service. Les résultats montrent l’existence d’une dynamique du contrôle tout au long de la relation avec un contrôle de conformité des opérations qui décroit au fur et à mesure de l’acquisition et la maitrise des savoir-faire, un contrôle d’efficacité de l’exploitation qui s’oriente vers une recherche d’efficience par la fourniture d’outils de gestion et un contrôle social qui se développe par une intégration progressive des franchisés dans la vie du réseauA franchise is defined as “a system of marketing products and/or services”, (Code of Ethics). It is characterized by three essential elements : the provision of the franchisor’s distinctive signs and trade-marks, in-house training, and supervisory services throughout the length of the contract. The franchisor grants the franchisee the right to operate a concept with the requirement that he comply with all the rules and procedures developed by the franchisor. This inter-organizational relation raises a particular interest with regard to the question of control because of two important aspects : the legal and financial independence of both parties as well as their economic interdependence. Our thesis focuses on the study of control and how it evolves throughout the franchise relationship. An exploratory study allowed us to propose a dynamic and global model of control based on the sequencing of the relationship in four phases as well as the implementation of multiple controls. To corroborate our findings, we carried out a double quantitative study of franchisors and franchisees involved in networks that market services. The results point to the existence of a dynamic approach to control throughout the relationship: with compliance verifications of operations that decrease gradually as the acquisition and mastery of know-how increases; with performance controls of the business oriented towards gaining efficiency through the provision of management tools; and with a social control that develops through the gradual integration of franchisees in the life of the network

Full textAbstract:
Franchising is a popular form of distribution for products and services that makes a significant contribution to the Australian economy. Traditionally, franchisors (the principal in the franchise relationship) maintain rigid control over their systems. Thus the focal point for this research, co-branding (the blending of another brand into the original franchise concept), is in itself a conundrum worthy of investigation.
Franchising research is dominated by theoretical foundations of agency theory, resource constraints theory and transaction cost economics which debate the initial adoption of the franchising model and its subsequent use by organisations. Academic investigation in an Australian context is found to be disparate at best with little development found regarding franchise models of growth. Two American studies of franchise co-branding are identified but fall short of explaining this phenomenon as an expansion strategy in mature franchise systems. Therefore the significance of this study resides in the creation of theory explaining the adoption of the complex growth strategy of co-branding in the context of franchising.
A grounded theory methodology is adopted to gather and analyse data from a limited range of organisations using franchisors as the unit of analysis. Almost three hundred pages of data were gathered from a range of national executives and company documents to triangulate to an organisational perspective. Throughout meta-triangulation a further one hundred and fifty pages of notes/analysis were created. This process identifies dynamics between brands (as representations of the organisations involved) through comparison so problems and issues most important to respondents are presented. These comparisons form propositions. Propositions form the basis of the theory.
The theory of maintaining franchise system isotropy is multi-faceted. Systems establish external co-brand alliances utilising high quality brands. Once external relationships are established franchise systems create brands internally. This results in higher levels of system resilience. In the search for resilience, franchisors subjugate their positions in order to minimise exposure to external brand alliances and maximise franchisee adoption of the internally created co-brand. Transition from external co-brands to an internally created strategy is identified as transcendence. Transcendence is characterised by the original franchise brand transferring its brand attributes to the newly established co-brand. Maturity of the co-brand relationship results in bilateral leveraging of brand attributes. To maximise the retail co-brand strategy brand migration is instigated to establish the most effective locations.
When these facets are combined, the theory of maintaining franchise system isotropy emerges. Franchise systems view themselves as invariant (unaffected by a designated operation or transformation). This view drives strategy decisions from which franchise operations remain the same. This behaviour is described as isotropic and explains the strategic organisational process in this context.
This approach forms the basis of a compelling argument against the ownership redirection debate (where franchise systems may choose to buy back franchised outlets as they mature). The combination of franchising and incentives/subsidisation produces extra-contractual obligatory behaviour highlighting new perspectives for the agent-theoretic argument by characterising the principal/agent relationship as ‘deeper’ and therefore must be redefined within the context of franchising. Further, an increase in transaction costs from this strategy notionally supports a need for company-owned operations (as franchisees needed to be compelled by subsidy to adopt this strategy).
Hence, the theory of maintaining franchise system isotropy provides an explanation that extends previous thought in this area and introduces new concepts and perspectives to more effectively understand this complex organisational process. Therefore this study has academic implications for franchising research and the broader marketing management and channel strategy areas. Further implications for franchise systems are also identified. Future investigations to develop the different facets of the theory are necessary to provide a fuller understanding of this phenomenon.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

The fundamental approach to measuring goodwill in franchisee-operated businesses is the same for any other business models. However, the difference lies in the methodology, more particularly in the calculation of a risk premium, the identification of cash-flows, and the evaluation of the franchise system.
Franchisees are common law agents and are not free agents, unlike their counterparts that operate independent businesses. They are prescriptively created, governed, and terminated by contracts that are determined and controlled by their principal. As principals, franchisors rely on franchisees to do that which they cannot do themselves with equal efficiency. In order to facilitate this arrangement, they enter detailed contracts that express their reciprocal intentions and expectations. These include such things as performance standard, revenue sharing, risk allocation, operational protocol, and intellectual property rights. In fact, franchisors insist on retaining proprietary rights to all intellectual property and instead grants to the franchisee a contractual right to use it for a limited period. During that period, franchisees have to mobilise their financial and intellectual capital to leverage the intellectual property for cash-flow generation. This process often generates valuable goodwill. Arguably, goodwill exists, where the total value of cash-flows generated from the business exceeds the opportunity cost of net tangible assets employed in the business.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

Full textAbstract:
The present Master Thesis investigates the concept of international franchising from both business and legal standpoints. The actuality of the topic is obvious: Franchising becomes one of the most perspective and fast-developing method for business expansion, and this Diploma was written as a reflection of such tendency. In the meantime, Franchising is an extremely complex and arguable business issue and still causes a kind of confusion in people's mind. For this reason, my effort in this Work is concentrated on the diversified influence franchising has on the business and economic environment, especially in times of economic troubles. And the Thesis proves the strong correlation between the economic and legal climate from the one hand, and the business opportunities from the other. This Diploma aims at the comprehensive research of the selected theoretical and practical aspects of international Franchising. The research is focused on detailed description of the three major pillars: franchise contract, the most evident franchising trends in terms of potential opportunities and risks, and, finally, the franchise overview with the analysis of the specific industries. The main conclusion that arises from this Thesis is definitely that international franchising is not just "a vehicle for conducting business" for large-scale experienced companies, but a real driver for globalization process now-a-days. The key message is that franchising tends to be considered more as the great business opportunity, even for small- or medium-sized companies, rather then a risky business concern. It is my great hope that this Master Thesis might help the potential entrepreneurs to create a broader view on franchising in international business format before making an intelligent decision about investing in a franchise.

A l’instar de l’obligation d’assistance ou de la mise à disposition de signes distinctifs, le savoir-faire constitue un élément essentiel du contrat de franchise. En dépit de son importance, le législateur a fait le choix de ne pas le définir. Il est donc revenu à la jurisprudence ainsi qu’à la doctrine de dégager les éléments constitutifs du savoir-faire. Par ailleurs, l’importance du savoir-faire au sein du contrat de franchise se matérialise à travers l’étendue des obligations que chacune des parties devra supporter tout au long de la relation contractuelle. En raison de sa valeur patrimoniale importante, le franchiseur devra prendre toutes les mesures qui s’imposent afin de préserver son savoir-faire. Le franchiseur pourra avoir recours à différentes actions, civiles ou pénales, afin d’obtenir d’une part, la réparation de son préjudice et d’autre part, la condamnation de l’auteur de l’atteinte au savoir-faireLike the obligation to provide assistance as well as the availability of distinctive marks, the know-how represents an essential component of the franchise agreement. Despite its importance, the legislator chooses not to define it. Thus, the constituent parts of the know-how had to be released by the jurisprudence and the doctrine. Furthermore, the importance of the know-how within the franchise agreement is reflected in all the obligations of both parties all along the contractual relationship. Because of its great heritage value, the franchisor will need to take all the necessary measures in order to preserve its know-how. The franchisor will be able to recourse to different actions, civil or criminal ones, in order to compensate, on the one hand, for the loss allegedly suffered, and on the other hand, that the know-how perpetrators conviction can take place

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the investment process within Swedish franchises. Furthermore, the study aims to investigate the franchisees participation in the investment process. Theory: The theoretical framework of reference in this essay consists of hand-picked theories and previous research articles of the investment process and franchise. Method: The thesis is a qualitative case study in which semi-structured interviews have been conducted with four cases. All companies are full members of the Swedish Franchise Association. Empirics: The data collected through semi-structured interviews is presented company á company to make the essay as clear and transparent as possible. Analysis of the empiricism comes in a separate section where the data is set against the theoretical framework of reference. Conclusion: The study results in the absence of a specific model for the investment process of Swedish franchises. The weight the companies put into the different phases of the investment process varies depending on how the franchise concept is structured. The study shows that franchisees participation in the investment process varies for the same reason.Syfte: Syftet med denna undersökning är att undersöka investeringsprocessen i svenska franchiseföretag. Vidare är syftet att undersöka franchisetagarens delaktighet i investeringsprocessen. Teori: Den teoretiska referensramen i denna uppsats består av handplockade teorier och tidigare forskning rörande investeringsprocessen och franchise. Metod: Uppsatsen är en kvalitativ fallstudie där semistrukturerade intervjuer har genomförts med fyra fallföretag. Samtliga företag är fullvärdiga medlemmar i Svenska Franchiseföreningen. Empiri: Den data som samlats in med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer presenteras företag för företag i syfte att göra uppsatsen så tydlig och transparent som möjligt. Analys av empiri presenteras i ett eget avsnitt där datan ställs mot den teoretiska referensramen. Slutsats: Undersökningen påvisar att det inte finns någon specifik modell för investeringsprocessen i svenska franchiseföretag. Tyngden företagen lägger i de olika faserna av investeringsprocessen varierar beroende på hur franchisekonceptet är uppbyggt. Undersökningen visar att franchisetagares delaktighet i investeringsprocessen varierar av samma anledning.

This diploma thesis is focused on a franchising business establishment, particularly on the business establishment of a fictive coffe house which could become a well known franchising concept on the Czech market. Primary advantage of franchise compared to the other types of business cooperation is mainly risk reduction for the investor (franchisee) who obtains proven model of the business. For the franchisor the franchise means an easier way how to widen his business without taking higher lability. The main reason for choosing this topic is an attractivity of this field. Correct preparation and serving of a cup of coffee is not an easy process and there is not a big number of coffee houses and restaurants which can offer such a coffee. By offering high-quality and delicious coffee at user acceptable price our company would like to achieve its objectives and be a successful. The primary objective of this diploma thesis is to analyse and define strategy, mission, vision, marketing activities, product strategy and price policy of a new coffee house. These factors should be used for successful enter to the market. Secondary objective is to determine necessary initial capital, planned costs analysis and investment rate of return.

La distribution des produits et la fourniture de service à l'étranger ont connu un développement considérable ces dernières années. Expression de la mondialisation des échanges, ce développement est du à l'activité des entreprises traditionnellement exportatrices, mais aussi à celle d'entreprises, de plus en plus nombreuses, qui aspirent à étendre leurs activités hors de leurs frontières. Dans ce contexte, des réseaux de distribution se sont multipliés par l'intermédiaire de techniques contractuelles variées notamment la concession exclusive, la distribution sélective et la franchise. Technique contractuelle originale et fréquemment utilisée dans le cadre international, la franchise tend aujourd'hui à supplanter les autres en raison de ses nombreux avantages. Son importance en tant que mode de développement international mérite qu'on s'y intéresse. Le présent travail constitue une étude d'ensemble de la franchise internationale. Pour mieux l'appréhender, l'étude prend en compte non seulement plusieurs domaines du droit notamment le droit des contrats, le droit de la propriété industrielle, le droit fiscal, le droit de la concurrence et le droit international, mais en plus des considérations économiques et commerciales. Aussi, elle conduit à montrer qu'homogénéité, adaptation, contrôle adéquat du réseau international, détermination d'un support juridique et prise en compte du droit impératif sont des éléments nécessaires à la réussite d'une franchise internationale. Enfin, l'étude permet de se prononcer sur l'opportunité d'une législation relative à la franchise tant qu'interne qu'internationalDistribution of goods and supplying of services abroad have undergone a sizeable development these last few years. Setting itself as the expression of the exchange world wide application, this development is due to the traditionally export firms as well as to a number of firms expecting to spread-out their activities internationally. In this context, distribution nets have increased though various contractual techniques especially exclusive concession, selective distribution and franchising. Franchising is an original contractual technique, frequently used in international trade. Its importance as a method of international development deserves our interest. The present work constitutes an overall study of international franchising. For a better approach, the study does not only take into account several fields of law, especially the law of contracts, patent rights, tax law, competition law and international law, but economic and commercial consideration too. Therefore, it shows that homogeneity, adaptation, appropriate control of the international net, determination of a juridical support and taking imperative law into consideration are necessary elements for the success of an international franchising. Finally, the study allows coming to a decision on the opportunity of legislation in internal and international franchising

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 endeavor. Thus the aim of this study was to establish whether franchisors have a direct impact towards the success or failure of the franchisee's business. The causes of success and failure are central to entrepreneurial research. Thus one need to understand whether franchisors are in any way involved in franchisees' success or failure. The first chapter of this dissertation is an explanation of the franchise concept. It is in its own a brief summary of what is discussed throughout the study. Objectives of the study, scope of the study and the method of research are all discussed in this chapter.
Chapter 2 discusses many definitions of franchising: the franchise agreement, what the potential franchisees need to familiarise themselves with upon entering this contractual obligation. Advantages and disadvantages for both the franchisor and franchisee are also discussed. The relationship between these two parties is discussed as it serves as a cornerstone towards success or failure of a franchise business. This chapter thus provides a blueprint of what needs to be done in order to make a success of the franchise business.
Chapter 3 entails an empirical study by way of questionnaires, designed to ascertain whether franchisors are in any way responsible for the success or failure of the franchisee’s business. Franchisee businesses were selected in the Vaal region and 25 outlets responded to the study. The results of the questionnaire were analysed and discussed in this chapter
Chapter 4 summarises the research with conclusions and recommendations from the empirical study covered in Chapter 3. The aim was to ascertain whether research objectives were reached by the study, as stated in the literature and empirical studies. Conclusions were reached with regard to the study and one of the most important facets identified was the franchise relationship. The relationship was identified as the glue that holds the franchise partnership together; the existence and maintenance thereof, is what will make or break the franchise business.Thesis (M.B.A.)--North-West University, Vaal Triangle Campus, 2010.

This thesis deals with the usage possibilities of franchising within the scope of health care services provided in the Czech Republic. First part of the thesis concerns franchising in general, describes its principals, development, law regulation etc. Second part analyzes franchising market in the Czech Republic and subsequently identifies respective concepts that are active within the scope of health care services. In my opinion, based on the analysis performed and with respect to theoretical findings, due to specifics of health care services, franchising might represent a suitable form of cooperation only among selected types of these services. Recommended among the concepts available on our market within the scope of health care services are those, which according to my opinion have potential to become a successful business opportunity.

Full textAbstract:
Le contrat de franchise est un contrat d'adhésion qui repose sur la réitération du succès commercial du franchiseur, et qui organise une coopération entre des entreprises indépendantes, D'une part, celle du franchiseur, qui a mis au point et expérimenté un concept substantiel, identifié et réitérable, à même de générer un flux d'activité économique. D'autre part, celle du franchisé, qui adhère au réseau du premier. Il en devient un des maillons, de sorte qu’il bénéficie notamment du savoir-faire. Celui-ci est reconnu comme étant un élément déterminant du contrat de franchise, et qui doit être entendu comme un ensemble secret, substantiel et identifié d’informations pratiques non brevetées, résultant de l'expérience du franchiseur, et testées par celui-ci. Ainsi, dans le cadre d’un contrat de franchise, le franchiseur doit transmettre au franchisé son savoir-faire, qui doit être gardé secret. Le «secret» s’entend du fait que le savoir-faire est difficilement accessible, et sa transmission par le franchiseur conférant au franchisé un avantage concurrentiel significatif. Cet avantage doit se concrétiser par la réussite économique du franchisé, dès lors qu’il respecte les consignes qui lui ont été transmises ; à défaut, sa responsabilité contractuelle pourra être engagée, et pourrait conduire dans certains cas, à l’extinction du contrat de franchiseThe franchise agreement is a contract of adherence that relies on the reiteration of the commercial success of the franchisor and organizes cooperation between independent enterprises. On the one hand, that the franchisor has developed and tested a substantial concept identified and reiterated, to generate a flow of economic activity. On the other hand, the franchisee, by his adherence to the franchisor's developed concept, gets benefit from the know-how. It is recognized as a key element of the franchise agreement, which must be understood as a whole, confidential, and substantial which is identified as non-patented practical information, resulting from the franchisor’s experience. Thus, under a franchise agreement, the franchisor must transfer the know-how to the franchisee, which must be kept confidential. By confidential, it means that the know-how is not easily accessible, and its transfer by the franchisor to the franchisee confers a significant competitive advantage. This advantage must be translated into an economic success for the franchisee, subject to franchisee's fulfillment of the prescribed guidelines, failing which the franchisee may incur contractual liability, and in some cases could lead to the extinction of the franchise contract

Full textAbstract:
The enormous success of franchising as an expansion instrument has resulted in a franchising boom over the past few decades. In response to the success of franchising as a business expansion method and the subsequent complaints by unsuccessful or defrauded franchisees, legislation was enacted at the federal and state level to attempt to prevent franchisor abuses. The 1992 Iowa Franchise Law has been called the most controversial and restrictive pieces of franchise legislation in recent memory. The purpose of this research project was to determine the impacts of the 1992 Iowa Franchise Law and its 1995 Amendments on restaurant franchisor expansion strategy, litigation with franchisees, and operational changes.
The study sought information from US restaurant franchisors who may have been impacted by the law. The research instrument consisted of a self-administered questionnaire, which was sent to 203 restaurant franchisors. A total of 36 companies responded and participated in the study. The results indicated that the law had an impact on expansion strategy of those who responded, specifically in the area of granting new franchised units. The results are representative of smaller businesses with less than 500 units.Master of Science

Full textAbstract:
The South African economy has been lagging its forecasted economic growth statistics in recent years, particularly following the worldwide economic recession of 2008. The year-on-year economic growth of South Africa is forecasted to continue to be lower than other developing countries. SMMEs are a significant contributor to a countries GDP and most franchises are classified as SMMEs. Entrepreneurs in the SMME space often use franchises to not only penetrate the market but to grow existing ventures. In its annual report for the year 2016, the Franchise Association of South Africa (FASA) states that the franchise industry contributed an estimated 11.6% to South Africa's GDP. When applying for finance at most institutions, prospective franchisees are required to also contribute to the total funding required; this is known as owner's contribution. This study explores what challenges franchisees experience in trying to raise owners' contribution and how the y overcame these challenges. It further explores what prospective franchisees can learn from the experiences of the participants. Through research conducted predominantly through an online survey and interviews to a limited extent, this study found that the franchise model has many advantages, but also has disadvantages. One of the main disadvantages remains the accessibility of finance, particularly that most financiers and franchisors require substantial owners' contribution. Many participants faced challenges when having to raise owner's contribution They most used personal savings and donations or borrowings from friends and family. The negative impacts that were identified were mainly personal stress and anxiety, strained personal relationships and delays in personal and/or business plans. In conclusion, in attempting to address these challenges highlighted by participants, recommendations are made to all stakeholders on how to overcome some of the challenges identified.

Methodology: By doing a proportional stratified selection within the the Swedish Franchising community, nine semi structured interviews has been made. The empirical foundation of these interviews has been concentrated and analysed with the support of the chosen theories. The result of the analysis has created the conclusion.
Theoretical perspectives: The research is built up of three angels of approach; the role, the business and the economy within the franchisee and the contractor. The three approaches aim too illustrate the role of the franchisee, the franchisees role in the business and the economical effects in franchising. The approaches that are being used is not theories but models of standards.

Throughout the last fifty years, scholars have explained franchising primarily through two limited means: agency theory and resource constraints theory. This paper investigates the proportions of company owned stores vs franchisee owned stores. Hypotheses are presented about the proportions of franchisee owned outlets among all industries and then among eight of the largest franchised industries within the US. The findings generally support that most firms use a mixed-method approach when determining their franchising mix but rely mostly on agency theory for most of that mix. The study also finds that the initial investment/asset requirement is the key mechanism to controlling the appropriate franchise proportions.

Full textAbstract:
Background – The franchising industry in Sweden has experienced a vast growth in the recent years, and it makes up a significant part of the Swedish economy. The restaurant industry accounts for a large amount of the Swedish franchises. Due to the dynamic business environment today, companies need to increasingly strive for improvement in order to sustain their competitive advantage and to enhance their performance. Innovation may be required, and franchises are no exceptions. However, due to the nature of the franchise systems, with the franchisor imposing particular policies on the individual franchisees, the position of innovation in this context is not clear. On one hand, a franchise should act innovatively in order to remain competitive in the marketplace, but on the other hand, the franchisor limits the activities of the franchisee to ensure system uniformity through brand and quality management. The position of innovation in the franchise context is ambiguous, since very little research has been conducted on the topic. Purpose – The purpose of this thesis is to examine Swedish franchises within the restaurant industry and to determine the position of innovation in the franchise context from the perspective of the franchisee. Method – A case study with semi-structured interviews with five franchisees in a specific region in Sweden were conducted to gain empirical material on the topic of innovation within restaurant franchises. The obtained data was then analyzed with the help of existing literature on innovation and franchise systems. Conclusion – It was discovered that Swedish franchises within the restaurant industry pursue product and marketing innovation. The innovation is mostly incremental, rather than radical. Several different factors contribute to why franchisees pursue innovation. It was also identified that some Swedish franchisors take an active role in encouraging innovation in the franchises, while other franchisors have a more passive, or even discouraging stance towards franchise innovation.

Full textAbstract:
Franchising has become the latest trend in business expansion and business acquisition and with the South African franchising market estimated at being around 12% and growing rapidly, enormous potential for future growth is indicated. Companies both local and international are seeking franchise expansion opportunities in Africa despite the higher risks. The significance of implementing franchises into Africa is the filtering down of business opportunities to the small and medium enterprise sector. It can be said that franchising promotes business growth and private ownership, while improving the quality of life of the poor through its impact on income and employment. A franchise organisation that grows too quickly might not have the necessary ‘factors’ in place to support all of the units properly. In the survey conducted, it was indicated that the franchise business practice echoed the literature reviewed. All the steps necessary to establish a franchise are important but not necessarily as equal. The more matured franchisee needed less guidance from the franchisor and relied more on the business concept and location. Potential franchisors need to take the necessary steps to establish a franchise and treat each step as an important part of the franchise process.

La transmission du savoir-faire du franchiseur s'accompagnant d'une assistance continue et la mise à disposition de la marque et/ou de l'enseigne du réseau constituent les trois droits essentiels dont doit bénéficier tout franchise pour pouvoir bénéficier de l'avantage concurrentiel de cette formule commerciale. Mais, l'insuffisante protection de l'affilie lors de la cessation de la convention le place dans un tel état de dépendance économique vis-à-vis du franchiseur qu'il y a remise en cause de l'avantage concurrentiel procure par ce système pendant l'exécution du contrat. En contrepartie des avantages dont il bénéficie, le franchise est soumis à de nombreuses obligations dont le caractère contraignant est plus ou moins accentue selon les conventions. Il est d'abord soumis à des obligations inhérentes à la nature même du contrat de franchise. En effet, cette convention étant basée sur une collaboration réciproque des parties pour la réalisation d'un but commun, le franchise se voit imposer l'obligation de respecter les normes du franchiseur, de payer les redevances et de ne pas concurrencer l'affiliant. Ces obligations vont le placer dans un état de semi-intégration à l'égard du partenaire. De plus, le franchisé peut également être soumis à des obligations accessoires : l'obligation d'achat exclusif et l'obligation de respecter l'exclusivité territorialeThe passing on of the franchiser's know-how, with continuous assistance and free disposal of the hallmark and/or of the network's ensign, form the three main rights which any franchisee has to enjoy to be able to benefit from the competitive advantage of this trading system. But, the insufficient protection of the affiliated member during the suspension of the agreement places him in such a state of economic dependance as regards the franchiser is that there is a calling into question of the competitive advantage which this system gave him during the execution of the agreement. In return to the advantages which he benefits, the franchisee is subject to numerous duties which restricting nature is more or less stressed according to conventions. He is first subject to duties which are inherent in the very nature of the agreement of franchise. Indeed, this agreement being based on a reciprocal collaboration of the parts to fulfil a common aim, the franchisee is subect to the duty will place him in a state of semi-integration in regard to the franchiser. Moreover, the franchisee can also be subject to incidental duties : duty of sole purchase and duty to respect territorial exclusive rights

This paper defines and empirically examines the determinants of the premiums to net asset value (commonly referred to as franchise value) at which most office and apartment REIT stocks currently trade. Franchise value is often broadly defined as the present value which management is expected to add in terms of net revenue growth to shareholders. A more detailed definition of franchise value is presented in this paper, one which incorporates each of the characteristics that contribute to a REIT's financial success: the internal and external structural components, the human resource components, and the governance issues. Independent variables are then developed as proxies for the components of the franchise value definition, in order to examine their individual impact. These independent variables are regressed against the premiums to net asset value at which a sample of office and apartment REITs traded on December 31, 1997. The results show that regional economic conditions, measures of balance sheet strength, low overhead expense ratios, and conflict of interest mitigations are statistically significant factors which contribute to franchise value. Somewhat less significant factors include total market capitalization, regional diversification, development capabilities, and the ability to acquire properties in exchange for operating partnership units. In addition, the results verify earlier work by Wang, Erickson, Gau, and Chan which concluded that REITs with relatively higher analyst coverage and a larger following by institutional investors tend to perform better than other REIT stocks.

Full textAbstract:
L’objet de cette thèse est d'analyser l'évolution de la relation entre un franchiseur et ses franchisés dans le temps, notamment lorsque les réseaux arrivent à maturité. Le temps est appréhendé dans son aspect linéaire grâce au concept de cycle de vie et dans son aspect discontinu grâce au concept d’événement-rupture. Quatre cycles de vie et quatre événements-ruptures ont été repérés, qui viennent influencer la vision de la relation de franchise par les acteurs. La relation de franchise est appréhendée à travers le contrat psychologique, ensemble des attentes tacites hissées au rang d’obligations réciproques par les deux partenaires de la dyade et révélé à l’occasion des récits de vie des acteurs. La méthodologie employée est essentiellement qualitative et interprétative. Elle repose sur des entretiens menés auprès des deux partenaires de la dyade, franchiseurs et franchisés. 19 réseaux de franchise, choisis avec un souci de variété, ont été étudiés. A coté des analyses thématiques « classiques », des outils d’analyse de données textuelles (ALCESTE et SPHINX LEXICA) ont été mobilisés. Plusieurs résultats sont discutés : 1) Les réseaux de franchise évoluent avec la maturité, vers plus de directivité vis-à-vis des franchisés. 2) Une très grande fréquence des événements-ruptures est observée. Les franchisés se voient imposer de nouveaux contractants, non choisis et des modifications de stratégie qui peuvent remettre en cause l’économie de leur contrat et l’horizon temporel de la relation. 3) Les franchisés ne sont pas un groupe homogène. Deux groupes sont repérés qui n’ont pas le même contrat psychologique : les « créateurs de leur emploi » et les « développeurs ». 4) Le secteur d’activité a un impact sur le contrat psychologique. 5) Le concept de contrat psychologique est pertinent pour donner un contenu précis et opérationnel au concept de confiance. La thèse débouche sur la proposition de voies d’amélioration du pilotage de la relation franchiseur-franchisésThis research aims to analyse how the relationship between franchisor and franchisee evolves, especially when the networks reach maturity. Time is viewed as linear in terms of the concept of the life cycle and as discontinuous when events occur in franchised networks which may modify the psychological contract between the two partners. This research examines four different life cycles and four different types of event observed in franchise networks. The empirical part of this study consists of case studies of 19 different franchise systems. Both franchisors and franchisees were interviewed in depth using narrative methods. The selection of the samples was undertaken in order to have sufficient diversity. The data were analyses using a combination of classical analysis and computer assisted qualitative data analysis software (Alceste and Sphinx lexical). Several results are discussed: 1) Franchisors tend to be more directive with franchisees as the franchise reaches maturity. 2) A large number of events are observed in franchise systems. Concentration and changes of ownership that entail a unilateral change of contracting party. Changes in strategies that constrain the franchisees. The psychological contract is changed and sometimes the time horizon of the relationship. 3) Franchisees do not constitute a homogeneous group, as many studies assume. Two groups are distinguished in which the psychological contract is different: the franchisee who “creates his job” by joining a franchise system and “developers” who own multiple stores. 4) The industry and the institutional context influence the psychological contract. 5) The concept of a psychological contract is useful as a means of clarifying and making operational the concept of trust between the contractual partners. The thesis provides a synthetic representation of the content of the franchisor-franchisee relationship and suggests recommendation in order to improve the franchisor’s management of the network

O Franchising apresentou um crescimento expressivo no Brasil nas últimas duas décadas. O principal marco regulatório se deu com o advento da Lei 8.955 de 1994. Tal crescimento é expresso tanto em número de franquias instaladas, quanto na diversidade dos segmentos das mesmas. Em função disso, uma questão recorrente é justamente saber à qual franquia o pretenso franqueado deve aderir dada uma gama de opções colocada à sua disposição pelo mercado. Com o objetivo de auxiliar a solução desse problema, o presente trabalho propõe uma sistemática baseada no uso de método multicritério e simulação. Primeiramente são identificados tanto na literatura, quanto em coleta de informações provenientes de trabalhos de campo, os critérios balizadores da escolha de franquias. Posteriormente e com base nestes critérios, realizam-se análises de cunho econômico financeiro onde geram-se como produtos dois rankings: Um proveniente do uso de método de decisão multicritério e outro proveniente de avaliação rentabilidade-risco realizada através do uso de simulação. Assim, considerando semelhanças e diferenças entre esses dois rankings, um pretenso franqueado poderia, seguindo esta proposta de sistemática estruturada, optar pela adesão à franquia mais atraente. Essa é a principal contribuição de cunho prático. Já a principal contribuição de cunho acadêmico é suprir lacunas existentes na literatura, principalmente pelo fato de tratar o assunto franchising conjugado com o uso de métodos estatísticos e matemáticos.In the last two decades franchising has grown significantly in Brazil. The main regulation mark occurred with the advent of 8.955/1994 Franchise Law. Such growth is expressed both in the number of franchises installed as well in the diversity of their segments. Accordingly, a recurring issue is the question to which franchise the prospective franchisee must choose considering a range of options at its disposal in the market. With the objective of helping to solve this problem, the present work proposes a system based on the use of multicriteria method and simulation. Firstly, the criteria for choosing franchises are identified both in the literature and in the collection of information from work fields. Subsequently, based on these criteria, economic and financial analysis is carried out where two rankings are generated as products: One deriving from the use of a multi-criteria decision method and the other one from a profitability-risk valuation carried out through the use of simulation. Thus, considering similarities and differences between these two rankings, a prospective franchisee could, following this proposal of structured system choose the most attractive franchise. This is the main practical contribution since the main benefit of academic nature is to fill gaps in the literature, mainly to deal with the franchising subject in conjunction with the use of statistical and mathematical methods.

Thesis (MBA (Business Management))--University of Stellenbosch, 2007.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The business format, franchising, can be defined as "the granting of a licence for a predetermined financial return by a franchising company (franchisor) to its franchisees. The grant entitles them to make use of a complete business package, including training, support and the corporate name (branding and logos). Thus enabling them (franchisees) to operate their own businesses to exactly the same standards and format as the other units in the franchise chain." (Grant 1985, p4 as cited by Altinay, L. 2004) Franchising as a business model can be seen in essence as a proven business model that is sold as a "best practices knowledge" model to franchisees. Although the "best practices" approach is at the core of franchising no formal methodology was found to exist to guide the development thereof. The lack of a formal methodology in this regard has given rise to various self-designed so-called "project management" approaches as found to be applied in the development of franchise outlets. This mini-thesis sets about testing the theoretical and practical integration of a formal project management approach, in fast food franchising market. Both from a theoretical and practical point of view it was found that the integration of a formal project management methodology and franchising as a business model would improve the functionality of franchising as a whole. By developing a formal methodology in a course for the franchising model, better control over the limited scarce resources (money, time, quality and people) at its disposal can be obtained, allowing optimal growth through proper development, planning, monitoring and delivering of business outlets.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die besigheids formaat, naamlik agentskap, kan beskryf word as: die vergunning van 'n lisensie teen 'n voorafbepaalde finansiële tarief deur die maatskappy, aan sy agentskappe. Die vergunning leen hulle daaraan toe om gebruiksnut van die hele pakket te kan benut, insluitende opleiding, ondersteuning en korporatiewe naams- (handelsmerk en logo) gebruik. Sodoende bevoeg die gebruiksnut die agentskappe om hulle eie besighede tot dieselfde standaarde en formaat as die ander agentskappe in die groep te bedryf. (Grant 1985, p4 soos aangehaal deur Altinay, l.2004) Agentskap as 'n besigheids model kan beskou word in wese as 'n erkende besigheids model, wat verkoop word as 'n "beste kennis praktyk" model, aan die organisasie se agentskappe. Alhoewel die "beste kennis praktyk" metode, aan die kern van agentskap is, is geen formele metodologie gevind wat die ontwikkeling daarvan reguleer nie. Die tekort aan 'n formele metodologie in die aanwending van agentskap het tot gevolg gehad dat verskeie self ontwikkelde sogenaamde "projek bestuur" metodes in gebruik geneem is in die ontwikkeling van verskeie agentskappe. Hierdie mini-tesis is daartoe gemik om teoretiese en praktiese integrasie van 'n formele projek bestuur metodiek in die kits kos agentskap mark te beproef. Beide van 'n teoretiese en praktiese perspektief was dit bevind dat die integrasie van 'n formele projek bestuur metodologie en agentskap as 'n besigheids model, die funksionele toepassing van agentskap as 'n geheel sal bevorder. Deur die daarstelling van 'n formele agentskap kursus bied dit die organisasie beter kontrole oor hulle beskikbare skaars hulpbronne (geld, tyd, kwaliteit en mense), wat optimale groei bevorder weens die ontwikkeling van verbeterde ontwikkeling, beplanning, toesighouding, en lewering metodes.

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail se propose de déterminer les facteurs à l'origine du faible retentissement en France de ce mode de partenariat qu'est la franchise, tout particulièrement dans le secteur commercial. La première partie décrit les caractéristiques de la franchise commerciale et précise les conditions socio-économiques qui ont permis à ce mode nouveau de distribution de se développer. L'auteur considère la faible envergure des réseaux franchisés, leurs résultats médiocres, voire leur échec, comme étant la conséquence d'un dysfonctionnement organisationnel dû à un déséquilibre du dispositif social ou le franchiseur domine tandis que le franchisé est dominé. La seconde partie contient une typologie des franchiseurs et une typologie des franchises; elle est consacrée, pour l'essentiel, à une analyse des divergences et des sources de conflits d'intérêts entre ces deux catégories d'acteurs. La troisième partie est réservée à l'examen minutieux de la manière dont se résolvent ces conflits. Elle se clot sur l'exposition des mesures destinées à améliorer le fonctionnement des réseaux de franchiseThis work attempts to determine the factors contributing to the low-outcome of the mode of partnership which constitutes franchising in France, particularly in the commercial sector. An introductory section describes the principal characteristics of commercial franchising, specifying the socio-economic conditions which, since 1958, allowed for the development of this mode of distribution. This is followed by a close analysis of the very mediocre results obtained so far. The analysis reveals the nearfailure of the mode of partnership as one caused by an organisational disorder springing from an imbalance which establishes itself between the franchisors and the franchisees. The main social supports work clearly in favour of the former and to the detriment of the latter. The second section proposes a typology of the franchisors and the franchisees and is devoted essentially to a study of the various disparaities and the sources of conflicts which exist between the two. A detailed view of the different manners in which these conflicts are resolved isn offered in the third section which closes with a few proposals for an ameliooration of the functioning of franchising

La fin du contrat de franchise a diverses causes. Les causes d'extinction peuvent être ordinaires : l'arrivée du terme, la résiliation unilatérale lorsque le contrat est conclu sans terme ou encore la résiliation bilatérale. L'extinction du contrat peut encore résulter de circonstances extraordinaires. Sont des causes d'extinction extraordinaires la résiliation du contrat pour inexécution, la survenance d’un cas de force majeure, l'exécution de la clause de hardship ou encore l'atteinte portée à l'intuitus personae. La fin du contrat de franchise entraîne la liquidation du lien contractuel et donne parfois lieu à un éventuel engagement de la responsabilité de la partie auteur d'une rupture fautive. En outre, elle peut déclencher la prise d'effet d'obligations post-contractuelles : obligation de non-concurrence, obligation de non-réaffiliation, obligation de confidentialité, obligation de reprise des stocks et, enfin, obligation de payer une indemnité dite de clientèleThe termination's causes of a Franchise Agreement are generally classified into ordinary causes and extraordinary causes. Ordinary causes include the end of the contractual term without renewal, rescission by either party and bilateral termination. Regarding extraordinary causes, they include the unilateral termination of the agreement due to any event of Force Majeure or hardship or affecting the intuitus personae. Whatever the termination's causes, some legal obligations shall arise thereafter. Beside the obligation of liquidation, there are some other obligations including mainly the obligation of non-competition, the obligation of non-affiliation with any third party, the obligation of confidentiality, the obligation to return back stocks and the obligation of indemnity

Le Brésil, comme tous les pays en voie de développement, est très sensible à l'investissement étranger, qui stimule son industrie et son commerce, intérieur et extérieur. En même temps, la sécurité juridique est donc une clé dans le processus d'affirmation du commerce international brésilien, notamment aux yeux de l'UE et la France, et garantit un développement continu et durable du pays. Dans ce contexte, déjà en 2001, plusieurs aspects politiques et juridiques ont été cités par la Banque Mondiale et le Gouvernement Français comme étant une barrière à l'investissement : la bureaucratie, le coût de la main d'œuvre, la fiscalité, le transfert de technologie, le respect aux contrats et les accords internationaux. La présente étude vise à contribuer au développement de la relation entre le Brésil et les investisseurs franco-européens, en apportant à ceux-ci une meilleure compréhension du système juridique brésilien, à travers l'analyse comparée du contrat de franchise, lequel exige une étude plus approfondie grâce à sa complexité, plus particulièrement en matière de droit des obligations, de la concurrence, et de la propriété intellectuelleAs any other developing country, Brazil is very sensitive concerning foreign investments, which stimulates its industry and commerce, domestically or cross borders. At the same time, legal safety is one of the keys in this Brazilian international commerce consolidation, especially vis-à-vis Europe and France, in order to ensure a sustainable and continuous development of the country. In this context, in 2001 already, several political and legal aspects were mentioned by the World Bank and the French Government as true barriers to foreign investment : bureaucracy, work force cost, taxation, technology transfer, and the respect to contracts and international treaties. The present essay aims to contribute to the development of the relationship between Brazil and the franco-european investors, by providing a better comprehension of the Brazilian legal system, through a comparative analysis of the franchising agreement, which demands deeper studies in view of its complexity, concerning particularly contract law, competition and intellectual property

Figure valorisée de la distribution, le contrat de franchise reflète une conception moderne du contrat où se conjugue différents caractères. Il est tout à la fois, un contrat de distribution en réseau qui s'intègre dans la catégorie des contrats de réitération, un contrat de financement et un contrat de collaboration. Le contrat de franchise est également une figure décriée de la distribution. Certaines difficultés liées à l'évolution de la législation et à celle de la jurisprudence alimentent les critiques à son encontre. De même, l'existence d'un déséquilibre informationnel et ce, dès l'origine de la relation contractuelle, peut conduire à créer un déséquilibre économique et éventuellement juridique entre les parties. Si la réglementation applicable au contrat de franchise ainsi que l'ensemble des clauses contractuelles contribuent à encadrer les rapports entre les parties au contrat, l'absence de régime juridique propre au contrat de franchise contribue, toutefois, au développement de contentieux en la matièreAs an idea valued by distribution agreements reflect a modern understanding of the contract in which different characteristics are combined. It is at the same, a network distribution agreement, belonging in the category of reiterative agreements, a financing agreement, and a collaboration agreement. Franchise agreements are also an idea that is disparaged by ditribution. There are some challenges un connection whith changes in legislation and case law that feed the critiques against them. Likewise, the existence of an information imbalance at the start of the contractual relationship can lead to an economic, and possibly, a legal imbalance between the parties. While the regulations applicable to contract agreements as well as of the contractual clauses help to frame the relationship between the parties to the agreement, the absence of a legal system specific to franchise agreements contributes to the development of disputes on this topic
