The Economics of Franchising $35.54 This book describes in much detail both how and why franchising works. It also analyses the economic tensions that contribute to conflict in the franchisor-frnachisee relationship. The treatment includes a great deal of empirical evidence on franchising, its importance in various segments of the economy, the terms of franchise contracts, and what we know about how all these have evolved over time, especially in the U.S. market. A good many myths are dispelled in the process. The economic analysis of the franchisor-franchisee relationship begins with the observation that for franchisors, franchising is a contractual alternative to vertical integration. Subsequently, the tensions that arise between a franchisor and its franchisees, who in fact are owners of independent businesses, are examined in turn. In particular the authors discuss issues related to product quality control, tying arrangements, pricing, location and territories, advertising, and termination and renewals.

Franchising ALS Vertriebsform $36.41 In der BRD ist das Franchising (F) noch ein junges Vertriebssystem, welches dennoch kontinuierlich positive Wachstumszahlen aufweisen kann. Die Bedeutung des F nimmt konsequenterweise in der heutigen Zeit immer mehr zu. Diese Arbeit soll Ursachen f r den Erfolg des F beleuchten, die Systematik der F-Vertr ge darstellen und Gr nde daf r aufzeigen, warum die Nachfrage potenzieller FN nach etablierten Systemen immer mehr zunimmt. Ein Grund hierf r ist die Prob-lematik junger Unternehmen, sich Zugang zu Ressourcen und -Gebern zu verschaf-fen- oftmals aufgrund mangelnder Erfahrung und fehlender Kompetenzen. Mit Hilfe eines Franchise-Gebers (FG) k nnen die potenziellen Entrepreneure als Franchise-Nehmer (FN) dieses Problem gr tenteils umgehen. Der FN erh lt durch den FG ein erprobtes und durchdachtes, durch Schulungen vermitteltes Gesch ftskonzept und ihm wird dadurch der Start in die Selbst ndigkeit deutlich erleichtert. Auch der FG profitiert von dieser Art der Partnerschaft. FN sind in den meisten F llen hoch motivierte, engagierte selbst ndige Agenten, die im Auftrag des FG Waren oder Dienst-leistungen anbieten. Der FG profitiert zus tzlich vom Kapitaleinsatz des FN und von den durch ihn gesammelten Informationen, die er dem FG zur Verf gung stellen muss. Eine kritische Betrachtung der weiteren Vor- und Nachteile des F bildet den Abschluss der beiden einleitenden Teile dieser Arbeit. Den Hauptteil dieser Arbeit bilden die rechtlichen Aspekte des F, wobei insbesondere auf den F-Vertrag eingegangen wird. Dieser stellt das zentrale Fundament der Part-nerschaft zwischen FG und FN dar. Im deutschen Rechtssystem existiert kein ein-heitliches F-Gesetz, sondern das F-Recht setzt sich aus einer Anzahl verschiedener Gesetzesregelungen zusammen. Ferner besch ftigt sich diese Seminararbeit mit den beim F h ufig auftretenden Problemen. Das F wird in diesem Zusammenhang mit Hilfe des Prinzipal-Agenten-Theorem und der damit verbundenen Moral Hazard Problematik interpretiert. Die
