American book, 11 Jun 2003
It is important to point out this book is written from the USA perspective as i live in the UK, Wales. Although it still has useful information for franchises in the UK.
Review of book, 02 Jun 2003
The book starts of with an academic style start. It is written for the perspective of the USA. So as i live in the UK I am worried that it may not be totally accurate for the UK.

This book serves merely as a sales tool for business coaching and tells the reader nothing about buying or running a franchise. A waste of money ! Looking to Franchise a Business???, 23 Jul 2007
If you are looking to franchise your business or indeed buy a franchised business, this book should become your bible as it will give you all the know-how you need - fantastic!!!! Misleading feedback, 30 Jun 2007

Fast food, slow death, 14 Oct 2003
Ritzer continues themes he developed in 'The McDonaldization of Society' with a series of essays which explore the metaphors he established in his earlier work. He sees the fast-food industry, with its iconic leader, as setting trends in globalisation - the rigid pursuit of economy, efficiency, and standardisation in all forms of marketing and supply. This has consequences not only for product selection and dissemination, but for employment, consumer choice, and cultural standards (in the form of 'you are what you eat'). It is thought-provoking for anyone concerned with what is happening to our world, and essential reading for anyone interested in the sociology of popular culture.

Street Smart Franchising, 07 Oct 2007
Street Smart Franchising states that 94% of entrepreneurs that go into franchising describe themselves as successful yet only 1% of individuals who look into this enterprise will actually join a franchise. It would seem that the other 99% make emotional decisions and decide that the risk isn't worth the potential opportunity. This could probably be said about any entrepreneurial venture which is probably why most people keep working in jobs that they despise.
Street Smart Franchising is written to try to increase that 1% by demystifying the franchising process. Yes, the risks are real. Getting into a franchise often costs a good deal of money upfront. The amount of training one must go through is often time consuming. Then, the first few months of business are an uphill battle of finding (and keeping) good employees, dealing with suppliers, and trying to bring in customers while only earning royalties.
However, franchising has its benefits as well. Once through the initial growing pains, most outlets do very good business. Entrepreneurs don't have to worry about branding their merchandise or creating new products. Plus, they have built in training, mentoring, and networking resources. Moreover, there are countless franchising opportunities to suit any lifestyle, interest, or bank account.

Quite insightful, 31 Jul 1999
It would be prudent of anyone in the franchise business to read this thoroughly researched, clearly written and carefully considered book by Professor Bradach. This is not a how-to manual, like many of the books cluttering the business sections of bookstores. Instead, it's a study of how, why and to what extent organizations choose to franchise themselves. While it may come across as too academic to some readers, the insight is fresh and informative. I found the interviews with franchising industry executives particularly useful, because Professor Bradach elicited such candor from them, especially with regard to the expectations of industry leaders in their relationships with franchisees. Put simply, you'll know where they, the franchisors, are coming from. For a potential fist-time franchisee, reading this book is like accumulating years of first hand knowledge from the inside of the company, something that will better prepare anyone for negotiating and working with a franchisor for the first time. Highlighted, dog-eared and often consulted, this one will stay on my bookshelf for years.
A MUST read if you're interested in franchised businesses, 19 Mar 1999
Dr. Bradach has broken new ground in the world of franchising. He has taken the time to thoroughly understand the differences between company-owned and franchised businesses. His book is tightly written, technically sound, and a "fun read" as well. I'm looking forward to reading more of his work in the future.
Definitely 5 star!, 16 Sep 1998
Questions organizational theories relating to franchising and addresses major problems franchise companies face today. Good read for scholars and those in franchising business.
AMAZING- A MUST READ BOOK, 27 Aug 1998
A very well writen book. It is very exciting and the value of the content is incredible.

Highly readable "one-stop shop" for the franchisee., 26 Nov 1997
Excellent source. If you don't know much about franchises and want to gain a good depth of knowledge, this is the book for you. Written for the prospective or new franchisee and examines the entire range of issues concerning buying and running a franchise. The author covers just the right amount of detail: not enough to bog you down but enough to give you an indepth understanding of the issues confronting franchisees. Covers such topics as the franchise concept, franchise selection, due dilligence, financing, hiring, family-run franchises, budgeting, legal and accounting advice, and much more. The next best thing to having a franchisee in the family!

Sales advice with religious counsel, 11 Jan 2008
Let the pink Cadillac ladies jumpstart your sales career. When Mary Kay cosmetics salespeople succeed, they drive off with a big pink car. Mary Kay executive Gillian Hennessy-Ortega, one of those drivers, offers tips about goal setting, customer development and personal growth in an excellent career manual with an insightful mix of advice and examples. The book excels when delivering inspiration about setting goals. Hennessy-Ortega provides a spirited discussion about finding the right balance among home, work and spiritual growth. The author does make a heavy push for Christianity, so if you'd rather get sales advice without religious counsel, this may not be for you. But if old-time inspiration is part of your motivational package, we believe this book can serve as a productive tool for personal and career growth.

I've read this same material before, shame on you, 21 Jun 1999
I've read this same material before, shame on you Ann. The only accurate parts of this book are plagiarized including the title. The original book was written in 1989. Although I see very clever twisting of excerpts from at least 3 other books, and without reference to the authentic authors!
