#Reverse Vending Machine Market Revenue

[justinforprez]

How the fuck will that get you cancelled?

That is the most uncancellable, milquetoast shit I have ever seen.

If you start saving at 30 years old and you expect to retire at 65 and use $100k/year until 85 you have to invest $3000/month

Thats fucking nuts. I am putting that much away. Its insane

Here are some that will get you cancelled:

If you have good enough credit to get a $42,000 credit card and preferably like $100k credit card you could (if you made it your full time job) make $30 mil/year

Rental properties are priced based on revenue, not property value. This can be exploited both ways

A car payment should not be more than 8% of your income

A house should cost twice your salary but with a 30 year mortgage 4x your salary is affordable

Its almost impossible to sell a house thats 5x the average income in a town. So in a town with “average” income $60k per person a $300k house will need to be on the market for 6 months or more. Most nice/suburban towns have average incomes above $100k.

Banks have just cut mortgages and business loans to 90% of what it was in 2008. So were pretty fucked

You first house (with the first time home buyers program) can have a down payment of 3-5%. Its okay to not do 20%

If you’re poor places with low cost of living are more important than taxes. Virginia have high taxes but at $15/hr it doesn’t matter. you can get cheap rent and food and fuel there.

Buying a home is a scam by the banks

Refinancing your home is a scam

Refinancing your debt WITH ANOTHER BANK is not always a scam. They get your business instead of the other guys.

If you refinance with the same bank they have no incentive to help you and, in fact, have an incentive to fuck you

You will die poor

Warren Buffet invests in shit businesses and props them up by lobbying for government regulation that makes him more profitable like the Keystone pipeline. You cannot invest like Warren Buffet no matter what some book says and if you could, you shouldn’t

You can’t beat an index fund. Other people can. I do. You can’t

FOREX is actually straight up gambling. The “brokers” control the prices. Arguably its more fun than gambling but just be aware

You don’t “need” that new thing

Lifestyle creep will ruin your finances

Unless you are actively trying Costco and Sam’s Club will not save you money. Its pretty easy to do it right though

Some things are actually more expensive at Walmart than at the fancy grocery stores

You should be going to 2 or 3 different stores to get your stuff for less

Don’t buy super cheap stuff. Its a waste of money

Sometimes it is cheaper to eat out because you will have a lot of food waste and meal prep sucks. The only thing I like to prep is soup.

Most jobs have an economic impact 3 to 4x the actual pay. Get over it. The company doesn’t make that much.

Banks won’t lend to independent contractors

Net worth is not comparable to actual cash in hand

$25k is a reasonable amount to keep in the bank as. A rainy day fund. With minimum account amounts on high interest savings accounts $30k is actually reasonable. Yeah I know the average american has less than $1k

If you live in a place that has slightly above average rent and food costs the living wage is like $18.75 or more

When bond interest rates reverse that means rich people and banks are buying 30 year bonds and not 5 year bonds. This is not financial advice but thats when I am eyeballing those 5 year bonds. Banks are forced to buy bonds when the Federal Reserve “prints” money. They choose 30 year bonds even though they are a terrible investment.

If you are going to buy bonds consult an advisor. There are ways to time the market and times when inflation adjusted bonds aren’t the best so yes you do actually need to talk to someone knowledgable

The best investors are paid commission. They make money when you make money so their interests are aligned with yours

Vending machines, laundromats, and other side hustles are a scam. They are a waste of your precious time. Just work overtime at your job or grow cash crops like Oyster mushrooms

You don’t have enough money to get into real estate or most of those side hustles anyway. Minimum is like $150k cash

Oh and if you do manage to build wealth your children or grandchildren will waste it and be wage slaves again

Retail Vending Machine Market Size, Share and Growth Opportunities to 2030

The global retail vending machine market size was valued at USD 51.91 billion in 2021 and is expected to register a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7% from 2022 to 2030. 

Increasing demand for on-the-go snacks and beverages due to the hectic lifestyles of consumers is boosting product sales through vending machines. The industry growth can also be attributed to the ability of these machines to deliver goods quickly, making it an extremely convenient option for consumers. From offices to high-end restaurants and crowded bars to public places, accessing food & beverage items is made simple with a vending machine. This, in turn, is likely to drive their demand.

Gather more insights about the market drivers, restrains and growth of the Retail Vending Machine Market

The coronavirus pandemic has unfavorably influenced the consumer goods industry with lockdowns having an impact across the supply chain. The impact on food and beverage companies will likely be complex, influencing both the demand and supply. In contrast, a change in consumer behavior has been observed, generating demand for various consumer goods, wherein several consumers have switched between brands.

Simultaneously, manufacturers are deciding on how to handle potential disruption across the supply chain and are identifying areas to improve and meet consumer demand. Vending machine operators have witnessed the impact and a fall in revenue, especially in April 2020 as compared to 2019.

Sales through vending machines look promising as vending machines not just offer snacks and beverages but can also sell other consumables, such as cigarettes and lottery tickets. Hence, operators can generate significant revenue through these devices by strategically placing them in corporate buildings, schools, malls, train stations, and airports, among others. For instance, in August 2019, it was announced that over 1 million plastic bottles had been recycled through reverse vending machines in Iceland stores. The healthy lifestyle trend is becoming increasingly prominent across the globe on account of growing consumer awareness regarding healthy food and beverage options.

According to 2019 research by The Vending People, the sales of zero-sugar beverages surged by 38.2% from the first half of 2018 to the first half of 2019, in the U.K., while sales of high-sugar content beverages have seen the biggest drop. Sales of these drinks were down by 19.8% when compared to the same timespan the previous year. Low-calorie drinks outsold other beverages by 196%, showing that customers are looking for healthier alternatives.

Key Companies & Market Share Insights

Operators are adopting various strategies to maximize profit by being at the right location with the right products, sourcing products in bulk, investing in intelligent vending machines to gain consumer insights, and other ways. For instance, hot food and sandwich vending machines may do well in business environments, universities, and schools, while, in most public locations, hot drinks like coffee, tea, and hot chocolate have high demand. Industry players face intense competition from each other, as some of them operate at several locations and have large customer bases. The presence of many small-scale players is also leading to increased competition.

GEM Enviro Fights For A Greener & Safer Environment

Plastic materials provide many conveniences in our daily lives and directly or indirectly employ about 10 million people. Agriculture, textiles, pharmaceuticals, automotive, infrastructure, and electronics are just a few of the industries that employ plastics. Unfortunately, unsustainable plastic consumption has caused several problems, causing scientific garbage collection and recycling management. Many businesses and entrepreneurs stepped up to help Local Bodies fight this enormous struggle.

Mr. Sachin Sharma and his associates found GEM Enviro Management to help with the recycling of many packaging trash. The company was founded in 2013 and began working on plastic garbage collecting and recycling in India, as well as providing end-to-end waste management solutions to clients.

GEM Enviro Management Pvt. Ltd. is a Delhi-based ‘Waste Management Agency (WMA).’ It is successfully running under Mr. Sachin Sharma’s supervision and leadership. The company offers WMA/PRO, which simplifies the collection chain of much plastic waste, such as PET, H.D.P.E., L.D.P.E., P.P., and other types of plastic waste, for recycling, as well as the marketing/promotion/selling of recycled items created from plastic wastes. It ensures a healthier and greener environment for current and future generations. Ganesha Ecosphere Limited, India’s largest PET recycling company with a turnover of USD 100 million in PET waste recycling, marketing, and branding of recovered yarn, backs GEM Enviro.

They organise and take part in various awareness programmes in schools, universities, offices, residential groups housing societies, rag-pickers colonies, and other locations with the purpose of raising public awareness about trash sustainability and recycling. GEM Enviro, as a recycler, is even designing Reverse Vending Machines and Hand Pressed Reverse Vending Machines in-house, which are currently installed in over 25 places around the country. They are active members of PACE, an industry organisation that brings together producers and manufacturers of plastic packaging (PET Packaging Association for Clean Environment).

Mr. Sachin estimates that, on average, each home disposes of roughly 20 bottles every month in an interview with Your Story. A community of 500 flats will produce 10,000 bottles together. Customers can earn rewards such as freebies and other incentives by using reverse vending machines.

The selling of packaging scrap to recyclers and the sale of recycled items to corporate organisations are the two primary sources of revenue for GEM. The site has partnered with Ganesh Ecosphere to sell PET waste and get a percentage of the profit. Ganesh Ecosphere produces fiber[N1]  from PET trash, which GEM purchases and uses to make T-shirts, hats, and bags. The prices of the items range from Rs 250 to Rs 700.

“The Indian recycle business employs up to 10 million people, directly or indirectly,” said Sachin Sharma, Director of GEM Recycling, one of India’s major PET recycling enterprises. Because plastic, particularly PET bottles, has a high recycling price, it is one of the best methods for a variety of people involved in the business, from rag pickers to recyclers, to earn money. We must address the fundamental issues that are affecting the environment, such as our irresponsible behaviour manifested in littering and an ineffective waste management system, as a group. We believe that a Reverse Vending Machine (RVM) is the best method for collecting post-consumer PET bottles for responsible recycling. With the aid of the government and citizens, we can create the correct system with a comprehensive approach and efforts from everyone in the value chain.

Reverse Vending Machine Market Progresses for Huge Profits During 2018-2027

The amount of untreated waste has increased at an alarming rate creating significant demand for various recycling solutions such as reverse vending machines. Reverse vending machines (RVMs) are employed to dispose and recover recycled products more effectively are used for cost effective waste disposal and recycling. These machines have automated systems used to collect and sort used containers and dispense cash incentive in return based on the quantity. RVMs help encourage recycling, reduce landfills, lower greenhouse emissions, and avoid the use of virgin materials for new products. These machines have various advanced features such as huge storage capacity, UPC scanner, and horizontal in-feed system.

Increasing amount of waste has created critical issues regarding their disposal due to limited number of landfills, therefore it is pivotal to adopt recycling to manage waste effectively. The current manual recycling method is discouraging as users are required to collect the waste in bulk. Therefore, the reverse vending machine is used in varied applications which provides refund to customer by identifying the amount for each container. The revenue growth of the global reverse vending market is driven by new installations and servicing of older machines. The government has passed new regulations to promote the reuse, reduce, and recycle waste. This is anticipated to propel the demand for reverse vending machine demand during the forecast period.

LONG ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS 

Question 1. Explain the types of franchising.

Answer. Following are the types of franchising:

Product Franchise Business Opportunity: Here, the manufacturers use the product franchise to govern how a retailer distributes their products. The manufacturer grants a store owner the authority to distribute goods by the manufacturer and allows the owner to use the name and trademark owned by the manufacturer. The store owner purchases the inventory in return for these rights. Example: Some tire stores.

Manufacturing Franchise Opportunity: It provides an organisation with the right to manufacture a product and sell it to the public, using the franchisor’s name and trade mark. This type of franchising is very common. For example, in the food and beverage industry, bottlers of soft drinks, etc.

Bad reputation: Other franchisees could give the brand a bad reputation, so the selection process needs to be perfect.

No sale option: Franchise finds it difficult to sell to someone if willing to sell due to any reason. It can only be sold to someone approved by the franchisor. Question 3. What is synergy? In what forms can it take place?

Answer. Synergy is the benefit that results when two or more firms together achieve something either one couldn’t have achieved on its own. It’s the concept of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts.

For example, if firms A and B merge and the value of the combined entity— V(AB)—is expected to be greater than (VA+VB), the sum of the independent values of A and B, the combined entity is said to be benefitting through synergy. Synergy can take place in two forms:

Operating synergy: This refers to the cost savings that come through economies of scale or increased sales and profits. It involves raising scale of production by changing all factors of productions of the firm. It leads to the overall growth of the firm.

Financial synergy: It is the type of synergy which is due to financial factors such as lower taxes, higher debt capacity or better use of idle cash.

Question 1. Explain the advantages of franchising, both for the franchisor and franchisee.

Answer. Merits of Franchising:

Proven idea: Business is based on a proven idea. Success of the product can be checked in the market. Profit from brand recognition:Franchises develop an image in the marketplace. This saves both time and money of advertising, promotion, recognition, etc. Image of the product is a favourable one and is in the minds of consumers.

Easier Financing: Financing the business becomes easier due to the associated brand name. Banks are more likely to lend money to buy a franchise with a good reputation. Question 2. Explain in detail the types of mergers.

Answer.

Conglomerate: Here, two totally unrelated business activities mearge. Pure conglomerate mergers is between the firms with nothing in common.

Mixed conglomerate mergers involve firms which are going for product extensions or market extensions. Example: Walt Disney Company and the American Broadcasting Company. Here the new company formed had to face tough competition in both the products.

Horizontal merger: This merger is between companies in the same industry. It is a type of business consolidation that occurs between firms which are competitors and offering the same goods or service. It is in the condition where competition tends to be higher and the potential gains in market share are much greater for merging firms in such an industry.

Example: A merger between Coca-Cola and the Pepsi beverage division, would create a new, larger organisation with more market share.

Market extension mergers: It takes place between two companies that deal in the same products but in different markets. This merger is to make sure that the merging results in a bigger market and a bigger client base. Example. The acquisition of Eagle Bancshares Inc. by the RBC gave RBC a chance to deal in the financial market of Atlanta, which is among the leading upcoming financial markets in the USA. RBC has thus diversified due to this move.

Product extension mergers: A product extension merger takes place between two business organizations that deal in products that are related to each other and operate in the same market. The product extension merger allows the merging companies to group together their products ‘ and get access to a bigger set of consumers. This ensures that they earn higher profits.

Example: The acquisition of Mobilink Telecom Inc. by Broadcom Broadcom deals in the’ manufacturing of Bluetooth personal area network hardware systems and chips for IEEE 802.11b wireless LAN. Mobilink Telecom Inc. deals in the manufacturing of product designs meant for handsets that are equipped with the Global System for Mobile Communications technology. It is expected that the products of Mobilink Telecom Inc. would be complementing the wireless products of Broadcom.

Vertical merger: A merger between two companies producing different goods or services for one specific finished product. A vertical merger occurs when two or more firms, operating at different levels within an industry’s supply chain, merge operations. Most often the logic behind the merger is to increase synergies created by merging firms that would be more efficient operating as one. Example: A vertical merger joins two companies that may not compete with each other, but exist in the same supply chain. An automobile company joining with a parts supplier would be an example of a vertical merger. 

Such a deal would allow the automobile division to obtain better pricing on parts and have better control over the manufacturing process. The parts division, in turn, would be guaranteed a steady stream of business. Question 3. What do you think are the reasons for failure of merger and acquisition?

Answer. Following are the reasons for failure of merger and acquisition:

Unrealistic price paid for target: Merger and acquisition involves valuation of the target company and paying a price. Many a time the price paid to the target company is much more than what should have been paid. Shareholders of the target company are benefited, the shareholders of the acquirer end up on the losing side.

Difficulties in cultural integration: Merger involves combining of two or more different companies with different corporate cultures, styles of leadership, differing employee expectations etc. If the merger is not dealing sensitively with the companies people and their different corporate cultures, the merger may be a disaster. For example, the merger of Daimler Benz with Chrysler. While Daimler-Benz’s culture stressed on a more formal and structured management style, Chrysler favoured a more relaxed and freewheeling style.

Overstated synergies: Mergers and acquisitions assumed to be for creating synergies through increased revenue, reduced costs and improvement in the investment intensity. Overestimation can lead to failure.

Integration difficulties: The combined firm or entity has to adapt to a new set of challenges given by the new circumstances. Plans are thus prepared to integrate the operations of the combining entities. This is done on the present information. If the information available is inadequate, integration becomes difficult.

(a) Poor business fit: Mergers and acquisitions also fail when the products of the merging firms do not fit into the acquirer’s overall business plan.

Inadequate due diligence: Due diligence helps in detecting financial and business risks that the acquirer inherits from the target company. Inaccurate estimation of the related risk can result in failure of the merger. Question 4. What is meant by moving up the value chain? Explain with the help of an example.

Answer.

Moving-up the value chain is a value chain in the whole series of activities that create and build value at every step. The total value delivered by the company is the sum total of the value built up gradually all throughout the company.

It is the primary and secondary facilitations offered by a company. Low facilitation to highest facilitation by a company then leads to movement from low level to highest level.

For example, in a steel industry, if they make specialized steel for automobiles, rather than selling basic steel, which is taken by another company who makes specialized steels to automobiles.

Since the company makes it directly now, they get more money for their product, and thus higher revenues. This will eventually lead to higher profits.

The value chain concept separates useful from the wasteful activities which hinder the company from becoming a leader in the market. Focusing on the value-creating activities gives the company many advantages.

It involves primary activities like Inbound logistics, Operations, Outbound logistics, Marketing, sales, Services, etc. and Support activities like Procurement, Technological development, Human resource management etc.

Value chain management requires coordination and collaboration, Technology investment, Organizational process, Leadership, Employee/ Human resources and Organizational culture and attitudes.

For example: The ability to charge higher prices; lower cost of manufacture; better brand image, faster response to threats or opportunities.

Outsourcing: The fragmentation of the production process across various countries has given rise to restructuring in firms including the outsourcing and off shoring of certain functions. Outsourcing involves the purchase of intermediate goods and services from outside specialist providers, while off shoring refers to purchases by firms of intermediate goods and services from foreign providers, or to the transfer of particular tasks within the firm to a foreign location. Off shoring includes both international outsourcing where activities are contracted out to third parties abroad and international in-sourcing to foreign affiliates. Question 5. Explain in detail Porter’s Generic Value Chain with the help of a diagram.

Answer. Michael Porter gave the value chain analysis concept in his 1985 book ‘The Competitive Advantage’. He suggested that activities within an organisation add value to the service and products that the organisation produces and all these activities should be run at optimum level if the organisation is to gain any real competitive advantage.

If these activities are run efficiently, the value obtained exceed the costs of running them and customers return to the organisation and transact freely and willingly.

He suggested that the organisation is split into ‘primary activities’ and ‘support activities’. Primary activities include:

(a) Inbound logistics: Here, goods are obtained from the suppliers and are used for producing the end product.

(b) Operations: Here, raw materials and goods are manufactured into the final product.

(c) Outbound logistics: Distribution of finished goods is known as outbound logistics. (d) Marketing and sales: Here, marketing mix is used to form an effective strategy to the target group through the promotional mix.

(e) Services: After the product/service has been sold, sales training, guarantees and warranties etc. play its part.

Support activities: These help the primary activities achieve competitive advantage. They include:

(a) Procurement: It is to obtain the best possible quality available in the market for their budget.

(b) Technological development: Technology can be used to obtain a competitive advantage. Technology can be used to reduce cost and thus adding value, research and development to develop new products on the internet so that customers can have all time access to the firm.

(c) Human resource management: Here, the organisation will have to recruit, train and develop the right people for the organisation to be successful. Staff will have to be motivated and paid the ‘market rate’, if they are to stay with the organisation and add value.

(d) Firm infrastructure: Organisation needs to ensure that their finances, legal structure and management structure work efficiently and help drive the organisation forward.

Question 6. Explain the requirements for value chain management.

Answer. Following are the six requirements for value chain management:

Coordination and collaboration: It is essential to increase efficiency within an organization. Care should be taken that efforts are not duplicated. Firm is greater than the sum of its parts for achieving a common goal of the firm.

Technology investment: With outdated technology, like old computers or machinery, an organization’s competitiveness is weakened due to a loss in productivity. This devoids the firm from gaining advantage.

Organisational process: Improvement in processes through better technology and greater procedural knowledge is essential for the present and future success of a company. Continuity is to be maintained for the improvement and is to be made an integral part of the system.

Leadership: Strong leaders adds to the successions value chain management. Good leaders earn the respect of their employees through neutral, effective and sound management practices. Conflict management, motivation and direction are the essential requirements of strong leaders.

Employee/human resources: Without a knowledgeable and active human resources department, employees may feel they don’t have a voice within the company and this may lead to lack in belongingness from the employees. Also, an employee hesitant to go directly to the ultimate superiors with issues act as a hurdle in many situations.

Organisational culture and attitudes: Organisations that foster strong cultural identity with positive attitudes tend to attract and retain top employees. Regular sponsored activities are suggested to help build cultural unity and keep attitudes positive while boosting productivity of the firm. E. HIGHER ORDER THINKING SKILLS

While one often hears CEOs saying that M & As are inspired by a desire to diversify or achieve higher growth rate, the reasons could be varied. Some of the commonly identified reasons are:

Synergy: (a) It refers to the difference between the value of the combined firm and the value of the sum of the participants, (b) Synergy accrues in the form of revenue enhancement and cost savings. (c) For example, if firms A and B merge and the value of the combined entity—V(AB)—is expected to be greater than (VA+VB), the sum of the independent values of A and B, the combined entity is said to be benefitting through synergy.

Acquiring new technology: To remain competitive, companies need to constantly upgrade their technology and business applications. To upgrade technology, a company need not always acquire technology. By buying another company with unique technology, the buying company can maintain or develop a competitive edge.

For example is a merger (a) Logistics company such as a land transport entity with an air-line cargo company. (b) Blackberry and Treo which can incorporate cell phone capability and e-mail connectivity in one device; palm pilots and tablet laptops can provide benefits to both the entities.

Improved profitability: Companies explore the possibilities of a merger when they anticipate that it will improve their profitability.

For example, European Media Group Betelsmann, Pearson, and others have driven their growth by expanding into the US though M&As.

Acquiring a competency: Companies also opt for M&As to acquire a competency or capability that they do not have and which the other firm does.

For example: (a) the ICICI ITC alliance made the retailer network and depositor base available to the merging entity.

(b) IBM merged with Daksh for acquiring competencies that the latter possessed.

Entry into new markets: Mergers are often looked upon as a tool for hassle-free entry into new markets. Under normal conditions, a company can enter a new market, but may have to face stiff competition from the existing companies and may have to battle out for a share in the existing market. However, if the merger route is adopted, one can enter the market with greater case and avoid too much competition. For example, the merger of Orange,Hutch, and Vodafone took place to achieve this objective.

Access to funds: If a company finds it difficult to access funds from the capital market. In such situation, a company may decide to merge with another company that is viewed as fund-rich. For example, TDPL (Tamil Nadu Dadha Pharmaceuticals) merged with Sun Pharma since TDPL did not have funds to launch new products.

Tax benefits: Mergers are also adopted to reduce tax liabilities. By merging with a loss-making entity, a company with a high tax liability can set off the accumulated losses of the target against its profits gaining tax benefits.

For example, Ashok Leyland Information Technology (ALIT) was acquired by Hinduja Finance, a group company, so that it could set off the accumulated losses in ALITs books against its profits.

This new product can be a complementary good or any related product or a non-related product, e.g. Videocon started with the production of electronic goods. But now it is producing various other consumer goods like mixer-grinder, etc. thus this type of diversification helps in the growth of the enterprise.

Up gradation: An enterprise can upgrade itself by adopting new technique, process etc. This not only increases efficiency of the enterprise but also reduces the cost of production.

The 2004 acquisition of AT&T Wireless by Cingular was an effort to create customer benefits and growth prospects that neither company could have achieved on its own— Values: offering better coverage, improved quality and reliability, a wide array of innovative services for consumers, broadening the firm’s product or market mix will result in a higher level of performance.

When two or more people or organizations combine their efforts, and if they can produce less than. If added their accomplishments achieved separately. Negative synergy can be called the 2A + 2B = 3 AB effect. When an individuals operating alone can each produce two units of output. However, with negative synergy, the combination of their efforts results in less output than what they would have achieved if they had each worked alone. Negative synergy can result from: inefficient committees, business units that lack strategic planning, poor functioning of joint efforts, inefficient workers, if one of the individual dominate and control the group decision or less effective group decisions. Question 4. Read the following case study of an Shri Jhunjhunwala and write down the values that can help him to bring a positive change and sustain growth in the enterprising world? Shri Jhunjhunwala is an Entrepreneur Shri Jhunjhunwala of Varanasi is a businessman engaged in the production of “Jhula Vanaspati”. He started his business career from a humble beginning. He had a small retail shop of oil and ghee. His earning was limited and not sufficient to meet the needs of his family. He started looking for an opportunity to earn more. One of his relatives owned an oil factory which was running at a loss. The relative was willing to sell it. Jhunjhunwala thought he can run the factory and earn profit out of it. He bought his relative’s factory. The factory took a new birth and today it is earning huge profit. “Jhula Vanaspati” is now a reputed brand of ghee in that part of the country. He says business is an opportunity, it involves risk and it is a challenge.

Answer. Adaptability: It is the ability to adjust to new situations-and find creative solutions to problems. Opportunity: It means a chance to do something new. When his problem is solved by him in a challenging way, he find opportunities.

Competitiveness: It also implies that competition is perceived as a challenge which motivates the entrepreneur to strive harder. The advertisements that we see in newspapers, journals and on TV will indicate the continuous competition among entrepreneurs and how they constantly strive to maintain their competitive edge. For a successful entrepreneur competition is a tonic for further growth.

Confidence: Self-belief is a very important trait of all successful entrepreneurs. They strongly believe that they can do what they set out to do.

Dedication: All successful entrepreneurs are consumed by a goal or purpose. As project champions they are dedicated to fulfillment of their vision.

Vision and Drive: The ability to see the end results of one’s goals while working to achieve them and the desire to work hard to accomplish one’s goals are other important traits of successful entrepreneurs.

Honesty: A successful entrepreneur is invariably honest. Contrary to popular beliefs all great entrepreneurs have always had the commitment to tell the truth and deal with people fairly. It is one trait that guarantees sustainable growth. VI. HIGHER ORDER THINKING SKILLS

Question 1. These concept began back in the 1850’s when Isaac Singer invented the sewing machine. In order to distribute his machines outside of his geographical area, and also provide training to customers, Singer began selling licenses to entrepreneurs in different parts of the country. Identify the concept and explain it by giving value points to it.

Ans. Franchising, Franchising is a process by which the rights of producing or selling any product or service are provided to another enterprise. It is also associated to fulfilment of some terms, conditions or requirement by the enterprise. These conditions are laid down by the parent company.

The franchisee sells the franchisor’s product or services, trades under the franchisor’s trade mark or trade name and benefits from the franchisor’s help and support.

In return, the franchisee usually pays an initial fee to the franchisor and then a percentage of the sales revenue.

The franchisee owns the outlet they run. But the franchisor keeps control over how products are marketed and sold and how their business idea is used. Question 2. Explain the advantages of franchising to franchisee.

Answer. One of the most important advantages of buying a franchise is that the entrepreneur does not have to incur all the risks associated with creating a new business. Typically, the areas that entrepreneurs have problems with in starting a new venture are product acceptance, management expertise, meeting capital requirements, knowledge of the market, and operating and structural controls. In franchising, the risks associated with each are minimized through the franchise relationship, as discussed below:

Advantages to the franchisee: Product acceptance: The franchisee usually enters into a business that has an accepted name, product or service.

Example: In case of Subway: (a) Any person buying a franchise will be using the Subway name, which is well known and established throughout the United States.

(b) The franchisee does not have to spend resources trying to establish the credibility of the business. It already exists based on past performances from how long the franchise exist.

(c) The franchise has also spent millions of dollars in advertising, and thus build a favourable image of the products and services offered.

Management expertise: (a) Franchisee always get the advantage of managerial assistance provided by the franchisor.

(b) Special training programme and education provided by them on all aspects of operating the franchise like classes in accounting, personnel management marketing and production. Example: 

McDonald’s, for example, requires all its franchisees to spend time at its school, where everyone takes classes in these areas. In addition, some franchisors require their new franchisees to actually work with an existing franchise owner or at a company-owned store or facility to get on-the job training.

Once the franchise has been started:

Most franchisors will offer managerial assistance on the basis of need.

Toll-free numbers are also available so that the franchisee can ask questions anytime.

Visit the local franchisees to offer advice and keep the owners informed of new development.

The training and education offered is actually an important criterion that the entrepreneur should consider in evaluating any franchise opportunity.

If the assistance in start-up is not good, the entrepreneur should probably look elsewhere for opportunities unless he or she already has extensive experience in the field.

Capital requirements: (a) The franchise offers an opportunity to start a new venture with up-front support that could save the entrepreneur’s significant time and huge investment of capital. They also provide initial investment to start operation.

(b) Some franchisors conduct location analysis and market research of the area which include an assessment of traffic, demographics, business condition and competition.

The initial capital required to purchase a franchise generally reflects a fee for the franchise, construction costs and the purchase of equipment.

The layout of the facility, control of stock and inventory and the potential buying power of the entire franchise operation can save the entrepreneur significant funds.

Knowledge of the market: (a) Any established franchise business offers the entrepreneur years of experience in the business and knowledge of the market.

This knowledge is usually reflected in a plan offered to the franchisee that details the profile of the target customer and the strategies that should be implemented once the operation has begun.

This is particularly important because of regional and local differences in markets.

(b) Competition, media effectiveness, and tastes can vary widely from one market to another. Given their experience, franchisors can provide advice and assistance in accommodating any of these differences.

Most franchisors constantly evaluate market conditions and determine the most effective strategies to communicate to the franchisees. Newsletters and other publications that reflect new ideas and developments in the overall market are continually sent to franchisees.

Operating and structural controls: Two main problems that generally an entrepreneur face during the start-up:

(a) Maintaining quality control of products and services.

(b) Establishing effective managerial controls. The franchisor, particularly in the food business, identifies purveyors = and suppliers that meet the quality standards established.

Some of the supplies are actually provided by the franchisor. Standardization in the supplies, products and services provided helps ensure that the entrepreneur will maintain quality standards. Administrative controls unusually involve financial decisions related to costs, inventory and cash flow and personnel issues such as criteria for hiring/firing, scheduling and training to ensure consistent service to the customer. These controls are usually outlined in manual supplied to the franchisee upon completion of the franchise deal. 

Although all the above are advantages to the franchisee, they also represent important strategic considerations for an entrepreneur who is considering growing the business by selling franchises. Since there are so many franchise options available for an entrepreneur, the franchisor will need to offer all of the above services in order to succeed in the sale of franchises. One of the reasons for the success of such franchises as McDonald’s, Burger King, KFC, Boston Market, Subway, Midas, Jiffy Lube, Holiday Inn, Mail Boxes and Merry Maids is that, all these firms have established an excellent franchise system that effectively provides the necessary services to the franchisee. Question 3. What are the advantages of franchising to the franchisor?

Answer. The advantages a franchisor gains through franchising are related to expansion risk, capital requirements and cost advantages that result from extensive buying power. It is clear from the Subway example that Fred De Luca would not have been able to achieve the size and scope of his business without franchising it. In order to use franchising as an expansion method, the franchisor must have established value and credibility that someone else is willing to buy.

Quick expansion: (a) Franchising for allows an entrepreneur an easy way to start the business the venture and to expand quickly using little capital.

(b) It helps to reflect on the problems and issues that an entrepreneur faces in trying to manage and grow a new venture.

Cost advantages: Many franchise businesses produce parts, accessories, packaging and raw materials in large quantities, then in turn sell these to the franchisees.

The franchisee are usually required to purchase these items as part of the franchise agreement and they usually benefit from lower prices.

One of the biggest cost advantages of franchising a business is the ability to commit larger sums of money to advertising.Each franchisee contributes a percentage of sales (1 to 2 %) to an advertising pool. Question 4. Explain various types of mergers with the help of an example.

Answer. The term merger depends on the:

Economic function

Purpose of the business transaction

Relationship between the merging companies.

Conglomerate: (a) A merger between firms that are involved in totally unrelated business activities. (b) There are two types of conglomerate mergers: pure and mixed.

Pure conglomerate mergers involve firms with nothing in common.

Mixed conglomerate mergers involve firms that are looking for product extensions or market extensions. Example: A leading manufacturer of athletic shoes merges with a soft drink firm. The resulting company is faced with the same competition in each of its two markets after the merger as the individual firms were before the merger. One example of a conglomerate merger was the merger between the Walt Disney Company and the American Broadcasting Company.

Horizontal merger: A merger occurring between companies in the same industry. Horizontal merger is a business consolidation that occurs between firms which operate in the same space, often as competitors offering the same goods or service. Horizontal mergers are common in industries with fewer firms, as competition tends to be higher and the synergies and potential gains in market share are much greater for merging firms in such an industry.

Example: A merger between Coca-Cola and the Pepsi beverage division. The goal of a horizontal merger is to create a new, larger organization with more market share.

If the merging companies’ business operations are very similar, there may be opportunities to join certain operations, such as manufacturing and reduce costs.

Market extension mergers: A market extension merger takes place between two companies that deal in the same products but in separate markets. The main purpose of the market extension merger is to make sure that the merging companies can get access to a bigger market and that ensures a bigger client base.

Example: A very good example of market extension merger is the acquisition of Eagle Bancshares Inc. by the RBC Centura. Eagle Bancshares is headquartered at Atlanta, Georgia and has 283 workers. It has almost 90,000 accounts and looks after assets worth US $1.1 billion.

Eagle Bancshares also holds the Tucker Federal Bank, which is one of the ten biggest banks in the metropolitan Atlanta region as far as deposit market share is concerned.

One of the maj or benefits of this acquisition is that this acquisition enables the RBC to go ahead with its growth operations in the North American market. With the help of this acquisition RBC has got a chance to deal in the financial market of Atlanta, which is among the leading upcoming financial markets in the USA. This move would allow RBC to diversify its base of operations.

Product extension mergers: A product extension merger takes place between two business organizations that deal in products that are related to each other and operate in the same market. The product extension merger allows the merging companies to group together their products and get access to a bigger set of consumers. This ensures that they earn higher profits.

Example: The acquisition of Mobilink Telecom Inc. by Broadcom is a proper example of product extension merger. Broadcom deals in the manufacturing of Bluetooth personal area network hardware systems and chips for IEEE 802.11b wireless LAN.

Mobilink Telecom Inc. deals in the manufacturing of product designs meant for handsets that are equipped with the Global System for Mobile Communications technology. It is also in the process of being certified to produce wireless networking chips that have high speed and General Packet Radio Service technology. It is expected that the products of Mobilink Telecom Inc. would be complementing the wireless products of Broadcom.

Vertical merger: A merger between two companies producing different goods or services for one specific finished product. A vertical merger occurs when two or more firms, operating at different levels within an industry’s supply chain, merge operations. Most often the logic behind the merger is to increase synergies created by merging firms that would be more efficient operating as one. 

Example: A vertical merger joins two companies that may not compete with each other, but exist in the same supply chain. An automobile company joining with a parts supplier would be an example of a vertical merger. Such a deal would allow the automobile division to obtain better pricing on parts and have better control over the manufacturing process. The parts division, in turn, would be guaranteed a steady stream of business.

Synergy, the idea that the value and performance of two companies combined will be greater than the sum of the separate individual parts is one of the reasons companies merge. Question 5. Explain the disadvantages of franchising to the franchisee.

Answer. 

Some of the key disadvantages of this mode of expansion are: Right and the only way of doing things: Franchisees are required to operate their businesses according to the procedures and set forth by the franchisor in the franchisee agreement. Entering into a franchise contract limits the degree of freedom for the franchise. The franchisee is not completely independent. It shows that, one gets an over-guided and over-influenced degree of control exerted by the franchisor. This restrictions results in losing the freedom to innovate to some extent.

Continuing cost implication: Excess of the original franchise fee and royalties, a percentage of revenue gets shared perpetually with the franchisor. The franchisor may also charge additional amounts towards sharing the cost for services provided such as advertising and training.

Risk of franchisor getting bought: When the franchisor either fails or gets bought out by another company, the franchisee faces serious problems and difficulties.

Inability to provide services: (a) Anytime if there is a problem and inability of the franchisor to provide services advertising and location.

(b) When promises made in the franchise agreement are not kept, the franchisee may be left without any support in important areas.

For example: Curtis Bean bought a dozen franchises in Checkers of America Inc., a firm that provides auto inspection services. After losing Rs 200,000, Bean and other franchisees filed a lawsuit claiming that the franchisor had misrepresented advertising costs and had made false claims including that no experience was necessary to own a franchise.
