The answer is 1

  1. Correct – is wrong because employees are more empowered as flexible eCorrect – Definition of a franchise: e.g. A way of running a business that allows an individual or business to pay for the right to use another firm’s branding, product knowledge and systems for a prescribed period of time. McDonald’s is a global fast food chain and recognised by consumers everywhere and symbolised. Which means buyers of McDonald’s franchises will find it easier and much less risky to build a fast food business rather than starting with an unknown and new business name.
  2. Not correct – franchisees cannot make all the decisions because some decisions are made by the franchisor .
  3. Not correct – the franchisor controls the suppliers.
  4. Not correct – the franchisee will be required to pay a share of profits to the franchisor.
