Franchise Contracting and Organization (Business Economics series, 3)

By Emma Foster

Book Overview

Much has been written about franchising in economics over the last two decades: researchers have gained important insights, especially into how and why it works and into the reasons behind the various forms of vertical restraints usually embedded in these contracts. This authoritative volume presents the key papers that have introduced the theoretical frameworks and the empirical facts that have spurred the interest of scholars in franchising as an organizational form. By combining all these contributions in a single volume, this collection not only highlights the main questions that have been addressed in the literature on franchising, but also illustrates the important role that incentive issues have played in it. As a result, this compilation should be of special interest to economists and management scholars with an interest in franchising but also to those interested in general issues concerning the organization of the firm.

Rita is one funny woman

An Enjoyable Read

I am one of those people that love the "image" of Vegas more than the reality. It is with delight that I watch shows like "Las Vegas" or films like Ocean's 11 (either version) and wallow in the fantasy world presented therein. When I say Ms. Rudner on the recent Labor Day Telethon doing standup and saw Jerry Lewis hold up her book, I thought "why not?" I did not know what to expect and was happily surprised. Turning...

Great Read

For anyone who has witnessed the excesses of sin city this book is spot on. Humorous, and a great, FUN, read! The writing is far superior to the major bestsellers that I have read (ie Danielle Steele). Reading Turning the Tables is just like going to a wonderfully, light-hearted film! I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the funny Ms. Rudner!

A fun book

I suppose the problem I have reviewing Rita Rudner books is that my introduction to her, "Naked Beneath My Clothes", was so fall-on-the-floor funny that no subsequent book can compare. But in "Tickled Pink" and now "Turning the Tables" she has written two solid, good read, funny novels with touches of human interest. The plot is well constructed, but of the sort that can only work in a farce. A woman has an affair with someone...
