Franchise - Introduction

The term "franchising" covers a variety of arrangements in which the owner of a product, process, service, system or even a name allows someone else to use it in exchange for some sort of payment. It can take the form of:

Distributorship / Dealership

These are essentially only a license to distribute a product. A licensor grants a license to a licensee.

Agencies

Here the agent 'one-sells' the products on behalf of the supplier for a commission.

Network / Multi-level marketing

Instead of the manufacturer setting up a sales organization, groups of self-employed distributors build sales organizations of their own. Financial rewards are paid based on total sales. However, the franchising that will be dealt with here is the most popular use of the term and is known as: -

Business Format Franchising

This involves granting the rights for a given period of time by a company (franchiser) to a third party (franchisee), to operate their proven business system using a common brand and format for promoting, managing and administering the business.

UCMAS

Since 1993, UCMAS introduced the new technique using both hands to stir one upper bead and four lower beads of an abacus from China to Malaysia. UCMAS advocated this technique and became the pioneer adopting the method using both hands to stir beads in Malaysia. As the fact has proved by a group of professors from China, such as Zhu Xi-An of The President of China Bead-calculation Association, Professor Yuan Yu-Min of Shandon Finance Institute and Shandon Abacus-calculation Instruct Academy, Vice professor Chi Rong-Yu of Dongbei Finance and Economic University and Liu Shan-Tang of Jilin Bead-calculation Association, using both hands to stir beads facilitates the balanced development of left and right brain to boost up the children's calculation accuracy, reaction-speed, image-memory, creativity, motor skills and visualization-power. UCMAS Mental Arithmetic being a professional education academy always maintains its professional image to manage the academy with high quality in students' performance. In 2001, U C MAS was awarded the prestigious ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management Systems certificate by BM Trada (UK).
