: Franchising as a business format has become increasingly popular on a global scale in both developed and emerging countries, as it develops entrepreneurship, provides growth, fosters skills transfer, and leads to job creation. While prior studies have focused on financial growth, network expansion, survival, and franchisor-franchisee relationships, there is limited knowledge about the drivers behind franchise success, particularly in emerging markets. Consequently, the purpose of the research was to identify the key factors that drive franchise success in South Africa. A mixed methods approach was used, with a qualitative study of eight franchisors, and a quantitative study of 156 franchisees. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed seven factors that drive franchise success: brand strength and support, mutual trust and sharing, customer-centricity, franchisee dedication, relationship experience, brand consistency and brand resonance. The three factors, customer-centricity, brand consistency and brand resonance, are new findings. A conceptual framework has been developed for franchise success, comprising three categories: brand support , intellectual connection and emotional commitment . His , and , Brand , of and Brand Management , and Journal of Promotion Management , as well as local management

: This research examines whether Jakarta Islamic Index (JII) adopts a financial screening process that can be considered more liberal than the financial screening process applied by Dow Jones Islamic Market (DJIM), S&P 500 Sharia, FTSE Sharia Global Equity Index, AMIRI Capital and MSCI Islamic Index. In this study, 180 Sharia-compliant firms listed in JII from 2010 to 2015 are screened using the formula of liquidity ratio, interest ratio and debt ratio adopted by the selected Sharia index providers. This finding shows that the highest percentage originates from MSCI in which 43 companies are considered to be Sharia-compliant. Meanwhile, only three companies are deemed to be Sharia-compliant according to DJIM and S&P. Given the fact that only less than 50% of firms passed, the screening process under each selected Sharia stock index, it can be concluded that JII applies more liberal financial screening criteria when compared to the other index providers

The automobile industry has been the key driver of developing economies since the early twentieth century. Uzbekistan is an exceptional case, characterised by the creation of automobile production from scratch after independence through the adoption of a protective policy. A state-owned holding company was founded to implement the automobile industry policy and manage operating companies engaged in the sector, among which was a joint venture cofounded with Daewoo Motors. This article examines how a small country like Uzbekistan was able to develop a car industry since the 1990s. It relies on a narrative analysis of interviews as well as a qualitative analysis of internal company records and secondary sources. This study demonstrates that the free trade agreement with Russia and former Soviet countries supported the development of an Uzbek car industry created by FDI in a protectionist environment, a policy usually implemented in large economies.
