- EG. McDonalds. KFC, Hilton Hotels, Holiday Inn
- Useful when a firm has neither the resources or capabilities to directly enter foreign markets
Example
Disadvantages
- Rapid entry and market penetration
- franchisee bears the costs & risks of establishing in foreign locations
- Franchiser bears costs of training, support and monitoring
- Rapid entry to foreign markets
- No large capital investment
- Trade barriers
The big problem the franchiser faces is maintaining quality control, standards and consistency
- Creates a competitor
- No control over licensee and product

To be successful on the international market, the company has to decide in which way they wanna offer their products and services.
To expand or not to expand?
- is the process of distinguishing a product to make it more attractive to a particular target market
- differentiate a product from competitor products as well as a firm own product offerings.
- way of agreeing on technical issues and processes.
- Product standardization is an efficient method to reduce costs and increase quality. By minimizing the differences in your products
Risks
- less information

Relocation of factories: German companies barely flee abroad
- right timing
- tap potential of domestic market
- information about competitors
- weigh the odds
Marie Erbes & Anne Bierau

In Germany get factories closed and build up in countries with low wages: that was many years the standard recipe of many German companies. But this trend has largely stopped, according to SPIEGEL information - because displacements often are no longer economical.
German companies push it hardly abroad. Between 2010 and 2012, the rate of those companies that reduce the production capacity in Germany to reinstall them elsewhere fell to eight percent.
The German economy is still global presence, since 21 percent of production capacity German companies are located abroad. The sharp decline in building up new companies abroad is justified by the "diminishing benefits" through low wages abroad and poorer quality.
