First of all let me introduce myself. I am Sean van Drogen and I am a fourth year small business and retail management student at the Hanzehogeschool Groningen in the Netherlands.

As a part off a course we are now looking at the different forms of cooperation between entrepreneurs. One of the most important forms of cooperation that we are researching now is franchising. In order to get more information about the subject I decided to start this Blog. I am going to focus on the role that franchising is going to play in the future of the economy.
