BASIC MARKETING 18th Edition by Jerome McCarthy William Perreault, Joseph Cannon

تمرين 6

An entrepreneur who started a chain of auto service centers to do fast oil changes wants to quickly expand by building new facilities in new markets but doesn't have enough capital. His financial advisor suggested that he might be able to get around the financial constraint and still grow rapidly if he franchised his idea. That way the franchisees would invest to build their own centers, but fees from the franchise agreement would also provide cash flow to build more company-owned outlets. Do you think this is a good idea? Why or why not?
