Franchising has been phenomenally successful throughout the world. In Australia, the franchising sector has enjoyed exponential growth over the past 15 years. Employing 426,400 Australians, the franchising sector now has sales turnover of approximately 128 billion dollars, representing 14% of the national GDP (Franchising Australia 2006 Survey, Frazer, Weaven, Wright).

Yet structured franchising training is not offered at any university in this country - except the Griffith Business School. Eagle Boys Managing Director Tom Potter has discovered the value of Griffith's franchising training: "We send all our people there to do their training and it works."
