Answer to Question 1

Franchising is appropriate when a firm has a strong or a potentially strong trademark, a well-designed business method, and a desire to grow. An example is Panera Bread. The company has a strong trademark (in the fast-casual dining segment), a well-designed business method, and a desire to grow. In some instances, franchising is not appropriate. For example, franchising would not work for Wal-Mart. While Panera Bread has a large number of franchised outlets, each individual outlet is relatively small and has a limited menu, and policies and procedures can be written to cover almost any contingency. In contrast, although Wal-Mart is similar to Burger King in that it too has a strong trademark and thousands of outlets, Wal-Mart stores are much larger, more expensive to build, and more complex to run than Panera Bread restaurants. It would also be nearly impossible for Wal-Mart to find an adequate number of qualified people who would have the financial capital and expertise to open Wal-Mart stores on their own.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
