In its simplest terms, a franchise is a license from the owner of a trademark or trade name permitting another to sell a product or service under that name or mark. More broadly stated, a "franchise" has evolved into an elaborate agreement under which the franchisee undertakes to conduct a business or sell a product or service in accordance with methods and procedures prescribed by the franchisor, and the franchisor undertakes to assist the franchisee through advertising, promotion and other advisory services. 2, record 1, English, - franchise

Las nuevas tecnologías han dado lugar a la creación de un vehículo guiado ópticamente(sistema CIVIS). Se trata de un autobús articulado que no necesita ser guiado por un conductor. Este sistema conjuga la flexibilidad del servicio de autobús tradicional(capacidad para evitar obstáculos, rodadura sobre neumáticos...) con la calidad del servicio del tranvía(respeto medioambiental, comodidad, seguridad, espacio reservado...). Para ello requiere de infraestructuras ligeras(se sustituyen los raíles por una marca en el suelo). 1, record 2, Spanish, - veh%C3%ADculo%20guiado

Selon le cas, le franchiseur fabrique ou ne fabrique pas lui-même les produits distribués. Dans cette hypothèse, sa rémunération provient uniquement de la redevance qu'il perçoit. En contrepartie, il doit fournir au franchisé un savoir-faire et une assistance commerciale tant lors de l'implantation du point de vente que tout au cours du contrat. C'est là un élément essentiel du mécanisme. Le franchisé doit pouvoir trouver chez son partenaire toute l'aide pour assurer une gestion correcte (approvisionnement, stocks, distribution ...) 5, record 5, French, - franchiseur
