franchises
❙ Ford Case
❘ including dealers as partners is optimal because orders that are received directly by the automakers may not be physically fulfilled without the cooperation of dealers
❘ the received orders can then be assigned to the nearest dealer who owns the desired car in the inventory
❘ the dealer’s inventory information should be shared by automakers through a common network

human agent (and vice versa) who responds to
the customer’s call watching the online data
about the customer
