Franchising is one of the oldest methods, often used in developed countries. The use of franchising as a growth strategy has significantly increased in Europe and the US in recent years. As both parties in a franchising relationship are economically interdependent, but legally dependent (Michael, 2000), franchising as an organizational form can be looked at from a legal and an economic perspective and as a possible alternative for the integration of production and distribution undertakings in a single organization (Emmerson, 1990).
