Hello, my class name is Franchising and Licensing, it is a hospitality class.

I just have a individual assignment that need you to help me.

The request of whole assignment is:

The criteria for evaluating the Franchisor you select are based on the course objectives:

1. How does the company demonstrate cooperative strategies

2. How do the company’s management systems support the success of the franchisee

3. How does the company’s recent history of operational and legal issues support the success of the franchisee

4. How do the company’s sales and marketing strategies support successful operations for a franchisee

5. How do the company’s financial strategies support successful operations for a franchisee

6. What is the company’s track record on relationship building between the franchisor-franchisee. For example, how are their contract negotiations, what channels of communications exist, have there been any “uprisings”?

7. What potential franchisor-franchisee conflicts exist

8. How does the company’s strength of chain affiliations compare to industry competitors

9. How does the company’s strength of global distribution compare to industry competitors

10. How does the company’s strength of their ability to create and sustain a competitive advantage compare to industry competitors

The information to use in your evaluation will come from two sources. First is the franchise disclosure document (FDD/FA) provided by a Franchisor. A comprehensive review and analysis of each Item in the FDD is required. Second is information from multiple sources outside of the company to ensure a balanced, thorough evaluation.

AFTER CONDUCTING THOROUGH RESEARCH ON ALL TEN ITEMS, select the five most important items to make your decision. Each of the five items must have a minimum of two examples supported by the company’s documents AND two examples supported by external sources.
