The Economic Effects of Franchising is based on a report generated for the United States Senate Small Business Committee in 1970 entitled, “Impact of Franchising on Small Business.”

This original report resulted in lengthy hearings of franchising issues and opportunities, focusing on the fast food industry.  Ozanne and Hunt continued researching the focus of this work and completed their studies in 1971 to produce The Economic Effects of Franchising for Congress and the public.  This work discusses, step by step, from researching the franchise and its characteristics, to signing a franchise agreement and training its employees, and the revenue generated to owning a franchise.
