National Franchises
In an unfavorable economic scenario, national franchises have income of about 21.8 million euros. It’s a growth of 1.7% analogous to the number of new brands created in 2009 (+ 2%). They are 23 released new chains, while the total operational networks are 17, for an overall number of 869 marks with a structure average of 61 affiliate partners. In a first research to define the current characteristics that are based on decisions that are applied in the sector of the franchise and the processes necessary to enhance (made by a research group of Itia-Cnr, Universita degli studi Roma Tor Vergata and European Universita Roma), has emerged the need for better identification of critical variables of the model.
