Channel: unknown

[2]
welcome back in the last video we talked
[4]
about licensing and how it presents one
[7]
of the quickest and least expensive ways
[9]
of entering a new market in this video
[12]
we'll dive into special licensing
[15]
agreements there are two overarching
[17]
categories that will talk about contract
[21]
manufacturing and franchising let's look
[25]
at contract manufacturing it's exactly
[29]
what the name implies
[30]
the asset owner retains the services of
[33]
a contractor to produce the product or
[36]
in some instances fulfill a service
[38]
think call centers and drop shippers the
[41]
technical specifications are provided
[43]
with the explicit purpose of having that
[46]
contractor only use them to produce the
[49]
product the benefit of this arrangement
[52]
is that it allows an organization to
[55]
specialize in a certain aspect of the
[58]
value chain there are many global
[60]
organizations that we're all familiar
[62]
with that follow this business model
[64]
some of the most followed are apparel
[67]
companies like Nike who utilize contract
[70]
production facilities allowing them to
[73]
focus on the surrounding value based
[75]
activities product development and
[78]
consumer marketing although another
[81]
cohort that quite often follows this
[83]
business model is a technology industry
[86]
marvel no not not the one that's comic
[90]
book don't confuse them but marvel
[92]
technologies which most likely has one
[96]
or more of their chips in your cell
[97]
phone they use this outsourced model so
[101]
that they can concentrate on what
[102]
generates the greatest return for them
[104]
the design of high-end sameen
[107]
semiconductor chips franchising the
[112]
second of our two points today this is a
[118]
contract between a parent company
[120]
franchisor
[122]
and a franchisee that allows the
[124]
franchisee to operate a business
[126]
developed by the franchisor
[128]
in return for a fee and adherence to
[131]
franchise wide policy
[134]
what this basically boils down to is
[137]
that someone has developed a business
[139]
that they feel can be or has proven able
[143]
to pour into a new geographic market
[147]
because they don't want to invest the
[149]
time or money in a new market they're
[152]
willing to lease the concept and
[154]
instructions to others who want to bring
[157]
the brand to their regions in order to
[160]
successfully do this the innovator has
[163]
taken the time to detail the required
[166]
launch process and day-to-day operations
[169]
such that it is a formulaic process the
[174]
specialty retailing industry favors
[176]
franchising as a market entry mode for
[179]
example there are more than 1,800 body
[182]
shop stores around the world
[185]
90% of the stores are operated by
[187]
franchisee franchising is also the
[191]
cornerstone of global growth in the fast
[193]
food industry a case in point is the
[196]
reliance of McDonald's when franchising
[198]
to expand globally the fast-food giant
[202]
has a well known global brand name and a
[205]
business system that can easily be
[207]
replicated in multiple country markets
[211]
there has been much written about the
[214]
decision process for a franchisee the
[217]
buyer but very little around what the
[220]
prospective franchisor should consider
[223]
use the following 7 questions as a quick
[227]
cut analysis as to whether your business
[229]
can utilize a franchise market entry
[232]
strategy 1 will local consumers buy our
[237]
product 2 how tough is the local
[242]
competition 3 does the government
[245]
respect trademark and franchisor rights
[248]
for can our product be repatriated or
[252]
can our profits be repatriated can we
[256]
buy all the supplies we need locally is
[261]
commercial space available and our rents
[264]
affordable and finally
[266]
are our local partners financially sound
[269]
and do they understand the basics of
[271]
franchising hopefully I've given you
[274]
some food for thought inside the next
[277]
video we'll keep walking up the curve
[279]
and start our discussion on investment
