Summary

Stanisław Szmitka

The idea of franchise as a modern concept of enterprise management: the experience of Poland. The franchise has become an attractive model for the sale of products and services, as well as a means of developing the franchisor’s business. Franchising systems around the world have become very popular among franchisees, who receive an already proven cost-effective business model in exchange for payments, purchases and other services from the franchisor. These systems bring intangible benefits in the form of encouraging the promotion of entrepreneurship in society. Franchising means freedom in managing and running your own business. The franchise gives its acquirers the freedom to run, manage and control their own company. Where there is freedom, there must be responsibility for one’s own decisions
