Popis: This article analyzes the problems of high tech manufacturers attempting rapid international expansion for their new products, with limited resources. Independent distributors, licensing, joint venturing, or direct foreign investment are the commonly used channel forms. Yet the analysis shows that there are circumstances under which comprehensive franchising (conventionally used for low tech, standardized products) could be an optimal solution to the channel design problem.
