What to Focus On

  • Growth is essential for a business's long-term survival
  • Internal expansion = growth from within the existing firm
  • External expansion = growth through combining with other firms

  • Franchising originated in the 1850s with Isaac Singer's sewing machine licenses
  • Franchisor grants rights; Franchisee pays royalties and follows standardized procedures
  • Four types: Product, Manufacturing, Business Venture, and Business Format franchising

  • M&A accelerates growth by acquiring existing companies instead of building from scratch
  • Merger: combination of two companies into one — at least one entity loses its identity
  • Two forms of merger: Amalgamation (A+B=C) and Absorption (A+B=A)

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Mergers and Acquisitions are the same thing — both involve one company taking over another.

Franchising means the franchisee owns the brand and can run it however they like after paying the fee.

A horizontal merger and a market extension merger are the same because both involve companies in the same industry.

Memory Tips

Two types of enterprise expansion: Internal and External

Franchising definition — franchisor gives exclusive rights to franchisee in return for royalties and standard operating procedures

Four types of franchising: Product, Manufacturing, Business Opportunity Ventures, Business Format

Business Format Franchise is the most popular type
