a) Distinguish between the use of Franchising and Joint Venture as modes of entry into other countries by global businesses.
Franchising consists in the licensing of aspects of production and intellectual property to a another party: the franchise.
A Joint Venture is a business union between two or more parties, in which they split profit as well as costs and responsabilities.
b) What are the respective advantages and disadvantages of both strategies?

A Joint-Venture can be more difficult to use for market expansion, however, it can be more profitable, because the profit will not be split among as many parties as in franchising, and more importantly, the firm maintains a higher control of the operation.
