This 2005 book describes in much detail both how and why franchising works. It also analyses the economic tensions that contribute to conflict in the franchisor-franchisee 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 US 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.

"It is increasingly clear that fifty years of international development have done little to reduce poverty in Africa. Indeed, more and more academics and practitioners are highlighting the detrimental effect of traditional development - as carried out by international agencies and NGOs - which often leads to dependency, inefficiency, waste and poor governance. Yet there is a new movement that is surging ahead in its attempt to reduce poverty and generate wealth in Africa: microfranchising. Set up by pioneering organizations such as VisionSpring and HealthStore, microfranchising is based on one of the most successful market-based models in Western economies: franchising. From McDonald's to Coca-Cola, franchising has proven itself to be an effective and replicable way of scaling up a business rapidly in the Western context. It is only recently that members of the growing body of social entrepreneurs have turned to the franchise model as one of the responses to Africa's endemic economic stagnation. And the results have been inspiring: instead of the dependency generated by traditional charity development projects, these new social capitalists have generated enterprise and self-sustainability in the most challenging environments of rural Africa. This long-needed book looks at the growth in microfranchising as a tool to generate wealth among poor communities in Africa. The book traces the evolution of the concept of microfranchising, from its foundation in Western models to its implementation in African countries today. It provides practical steps from the world's leading experts on how to set up a microfranchise, from recruiting franchisees, to building a brand and a supply chain. It gives case studies of successful microfranchises, told by the enterprises themselves. It continues with a theoretical analysis of the place of microfranchising within global social entrepreneurship. It ends with a look at the future for microfranchising, with recommendations for development. Edited by the former CEO of SolarAid, which created the Sunny Money microfranchise, the book provides a ground-breaking set of case studies and analysis of microfranchising for development. It brings together academics and practitioners to provide context, analysis and practical advice. Indeed, it provides the theory, the practical advice and the case studies to guide any entrepreneur, NGO, business or government interested in setting up their own microfranchise scheme."--Provided by publisher.

(...) , l'étalement urbain combiné à la recomposition des villes remodèle la géographie fabriquant des territoires hybrides, ni urbains, ni ruraux. A partir de l'analyse du cas français, mais considérant aussi l'Amérique, l'Asie et l'Afrique, l'ouvrage étudie les effets conjoints des infrastuctures routières, des lotissments pavillonnaires et des centres commerciaux. Attentif aux conséquences morphologiques, économiques et sociales, l'auteur révèle les convergences planétaires autour d'un urbanisme de secteurs et d'une ville franchisée. Ce qualificatif doit s'entendre dans le sens commercial des villes saisies par les logiques du marketing mais aussi dans l'acceptation domaniale du terme, à savoir la privatisation progressive d'espaces toujours plus vastes. David Mangin dénonce ces environnments sécurisés, de moins en moins publics et gratuits, qui prolifèrent insidieusement en centre-ville autant qu'en périphérie. Il s'emploie ici, (...), à défendre le principe de la "ville passante" fondé sur l'idée d"une moindre dépendance automobile, d'une forte hétérogénéité des architectures et d'une véritables diversité d'usages.
