Opportunities and Challenges in International Franchising - Foreign Franchises Trying to Move into the U.S.
| |
| Although franchising is growing more rapidly outside the U.S. than in our more saturated U.S. market, the U.S. remains an extremely attractive - and prestigious - market in the eyes of many foreign franchisors. Thus, one trend that is seeing renewed interest is the influx of foreign franchise systems into the U.S. While moving from the U.S. to a foreign market can be a challenge for American businesses, it can be even more challenging fro foreign operations to establish a foothold here in the States, as they deal with our more complex regulations, a serious language barrier, and the ever-competitive U.S. market. |

Can Emerging Markets Follow China's FDI Growth Recipe?
| |
| China's ability to attract massive amounts of foreign investment does not derive entirely from its economic growth rate or the size of its population, observed Stephen J. Kobrin, Professor of Multinational Management, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, USA. Rather, China leads the developing world in liberalizing its foreign investment policies, he noted. Felipe Larra Bascu Professor of Economics, Catholic University of Chile, Chile, challenged this view, saying he believed that it was China's large marketplace, high growth rate and low costs rather than its investment policies driving FDI. Between these extremes, Paul A. Laudicina, Managing Director, A.T. Kearney, USA, said that interviews with his firm's clients revealed that it was both the size of China's marketplace and its policies that were luring investment.
