Answer preview
J.C Inc is lucky to have acquired a franchise of one of the largest fast-food chains with an established brand name. To continue enjoying the competitive advantage of McDonald’s corporation, J.C should ensure that they have the knowledge and understanding of McDonald’s daily business operations and policies. The agreement was only terminated if J.C Inc had made the payments after being pardoned. Also, the company did not have a legal mandate to sue McDonald’s as JC Inc. did not act in utmost good faith. Both organizations, McDonald’s and J.C Inc, are responsible for observing the requirements for a healthy business relationship to exist between them (Franchising Laws, n.d.).
