I Archana. R. Gorur of 5thB.com (h) was working as an intern in Levi’s Strauss India Ltd. (LSIL) for duration of 6 weeks from april 16th to may 31st 2012. I was working in the finance department in the accounts receivables section. i have done the following work in the company * Reconciliation of shortages * Dilution Expenses (Sales support) * Hybrid rent * EOSS * Additional Margin * Fixed Support * Promotional Schemes
While doing the reconciliation of shortages I learnt that BAJAJ Alliance does the insurance work of the company and any shortages which occur during the sales to customers are settled by BAJAJ Aliiance. The customer claims the shortages from the insurance company but Bajaj Alliance reimburses the claim up to a certain limit that is amount exceeding Rs.44660 and below Rs.2500 (Till may 2011 the insurance company processed claims above Rs.25000 and below Rs.2500). Dilution means the sales related expenses in which I mainly worked on hybrid rent and additional margin.
There are two kinds of customers of LSIL. * Distributors * Franchisee
The franchisee sells directly to the customers and the distributers sell to the sub-franchisee and the sub-franchisees sell to the customers.
Hybrid rent and additional margin is the support the company gives to its franchisee and sub-fanchisee. Hybrid rent is the rent paid by the store to the landlords every month. The company reimburses them the rent to support newly opened stores to meet its other expenses. Additional margin is given up to a limit of 35-40%. The amount of hybrid rent is escalated every 1-3-5 years by 5-10-15% or as agreed by the two parties. The company pays the rent monthly.
The company operates at a margin of 2%
The approx. calculation is as follows *CST is applicable when LSIL is billing to the franchisee and customers located outside Karnataka.
* VAT on accessories is 14%.

    1. Franchisees gain numerous advantage when they purchase a franchise. First, while a franchisee may be opening a new store, it is part of an already established business and system. This means a franchisee has access to turnkey operations, allowing an increased speed to establishing and growing the business. Franchisees also get support for management and training activities, as well as financial assistance. Going hand in hand with this, a franchise already has an established brand name, quality of goods and service which have been standardized across the franchisor’s larger company, and national advertising programs from franchisors. Franchises also have large-volume, centralized buying power. A franchise has proven products, and successful business format. Finally, site selection and territorial protection is offered for franchises. All of these advantages increase the chance for a new business in a franchise to be successful. While there are many advantages to a franchise, there are disadvantages as well. First and foremost, in order to own a franchise and take advantage of all the benefits of owning a franchise, there are fees and royalties which are ongoing for advertising, use of the franchise name, products and services, and for use of the business system. A franchisee must also adhere strictly to regulations and standards imposed by franchisors. Franchisors also require the purchase of supplies and equipment from approved suppliers. Franchisors can also restrict what products can be offered in a store, which limits the product line as a whole. This results in an overall limit of freedom which entrepreneurs who start their own business do not have to deal with. Finally, and possibly most relevant from a business standpoint is market saturation. Franchisees have grown tremendously fast in recent years, resulting in an overwhelming number of franchises in the market place.…

    To the citizens of Levittown Pennsylvania, Tuesday, August 13, 19572 seemed like any other day. The sun rose in the east on the suburban town just outside of Philadelphia. Husbands ate their breakfast cooked by their wives, children got ready for school, and the mailman made his rounds delivering the mail. However, as the mailman made his rounds that day, something caught his attention, something he thought he should immediately inform to the community, something that had never happened before in Levittown. “It happened” the mailman alerted the neighbors of Levittown, “Niggers have moved to Levittown!”3 Bill and Daisy Myers, an African-American couple and their children, moved into Levittown…

    A franchise is a legal agreement between franchisers and franchisees that consents use of the franchise’s trademark and trade name or marketing plan to sell products or services (Kubasek, Brennan, & Browne, 2012, p. 791). Through a franchising arrangement franchisee can profit from implementing another’s efficacious business model. One of the most attractive advantages is the high probability of success of 90 % as compared to 20 % for small businesses (Staring and Naming a Business Presentation, 2012, Slide 9). Other advantages include established franchise reputation, operational support and training, product research and development, and better access to financing. On the downside, business plan rigidity can deprive the quality of customer service and hinder a creative business owner. Thus, both the Clayton Act regulates business competition and price discrimination (15 USC §§ 12-27; 36 Am J1st Monop etc §§ 141, 142) and the Sherman Act is a federal antitrust act (15 USC §§ 1 et seq; 36 Am J1st Monop etc. § 141) protect the public and small business owners from monopolization and market power.…

    The franchisee/ franchiser relationship has its benefits, but also one major downside which can cause conflicts and controversies. “At the heart of the franchise agreement is the desire by two parties to make money while avoiding risk” (Schlosser 94). In starting your own business, there is a huge financial risk. Even if you have an amazing idea it takes a lot of well managed money. Becoming a franchisee, though, while still costing a good amount of money, the risk is considerably smaller because the name, advertising and product is already out there. “One provides a brand name, a business plan, expertise, access to equipment and supplies. The other puts up the money and does the work” (Schlosser 94). Franchising makes it easier for companies to expand their market and profit from that. “The relationship has built-in tensions. The franchisor gives up some control while not wholly owning each operation; the franchisee sacrifices a great deal of independence by having to obey the companies rules” (Schlosser 94). When putting that amount of money and work…

    Distributors earn a commission based on the sales efforts of their organization, which includes their independent sale efforts as well as the leveraged sales efforts of their downline. This arrangement is similar to franchise arrangements where royalties are paid from the sales of individual franchise operations to the franchisor as well as to an area or region manager. Commissions are paid to multi-level marketing distributors according to the company’s compensation plan. There can be multiple levels of people receiving royalties from one person's sales.…
