Assignment Question
Describe a franchise system that operates in your region but does not have an international presence. Provide information about the products or services sold by that franchise system, its size in terms of number of units, and the key elements of the service delivery system.
Prepare a strategic plan for a franchisor who would like to expand operations into a neighbouring country. In the strategy you must address the possible ownership structures, systems of monitoring and control, and modifications (if any) that might have to be made to the system to accommodate the laws and customs of the target country.
Justify your strategic plan by making reference to theories about franchising and practical examples of successful international expansion. You can assume that the franchisor has the necessary capital to carry out your strategy.
