Abstract: | Although franchising is traditionally associated with newly emerging businesses which need to finance growth, this marketing technique is being increasingly utilized by large established firms as a method of business development. This article analyzes the business objectives which led a sample of such firms in the UK to introduce franchising as a means of channel management. The models of franchising - including the master franchise - selected by these firms as well as their operational and organizational experiences are investigated. |
