Australian franchising expert, Dr. Maurice Roussety is ready to commercialise his PhD thesis on franchise and intellectual property valuation. It is a seminal piece of research which culminates in the development of advanced methodologies to calculate risk premiums, cost-of-capital, and goodwill associated with franchising.

The Chief Examiner’s comments on Dr. Maurice Roussety’s thesis signal the impact that its findings will have in franchising. According to the examiner, his thesis makes significant contributions in the scholarship of governance structure, returns, risks, and valuation of franchisee-operated businesses – and that it addresses areas of scholarship which unfortunately haven’t received as much attention as they should have been given. Dr. Maurice feels is humbled that his work has been acknowledged as a vital contribution to the knowledge and understanding of franchising.
