Recently inour country it has become a trend to franchise a corporation, making it availbe for a branch of the company to be purchased and personally run by the public, or by an individual alone. If nothing is done to keep large closed corporations from keeping the option of franchising and open stock corporations closed, then the public will not befit off of the business opportunity given to them. In turn this will make large corporations such as Walmart and Starbucks turn into a monopoly of sorts. Though the Big Corporations will provide jobs and service that the public can benefit from, the community will never be able to collect profit from a corporation they own a small part of.

Argument-
The argument i wish to state is that it is better off for the economy and for the good of the local people to have more local business. The Argument that i wish to state is that bigger closed corporations seem to take away the business and employee options that smaller franchises and corporations offer to local neighborhoods and community's. Not only do they provide jobs but they offer the idea of a successful business to local people to with the potential to profit from the business of their community. I will explore the profits major closed corporations benefit off of compared to the amount local business owners and franchise owners could have been getting. I will be arguing in favor of the smaller business because i believe it will benefit the smaller local community in the long run.

Thesis Statement -
Major corporations that have closed stock options are worse for the economy, neighborhoods, and the economy as a whole. If more corporations were open for franchising then it would give more people and neighborhoods a chance to experience the service of big corporations and in turn possibly bring a bigger profit to the corporation and those who choose to be a part of that corporation through franchising opportunity. Not only would this be better for the economy, but the corporations would in turn see a great deal more of business at their stores across America, and in turn more people would be able to experience and benefit off of the service and work provided in their given neighborhood.

Websites-
http://bubl.ac.uk/- so far the most useful thing i have come across, it is a directory so this means all of the sources are credible, i like this because it didn't give me a whole mess of feeds it took me straight to about 6 logical things i could use.

I belive that using a directory is more useful than most of the other things i tried, it gave me more relevant hits that i know are from a creditable source, this should make the remander of my resarch a bit less confusing.

Internet Research Tool Test-
http://bubl.ac.uk/---assigned search tool.
I searched "Profitable Corporations 2008"
I was very surprised to find that i didn't get 50,000 pages worth of useless stuff, but instead i got about 8 hits all of which were semi-useful.
The one that i chose was pretty relevant to my topic. What i found was not an artical but rather a link to a Fortune 500 list, This was a great help to my research because it provided a list of all the financially "on top" companies of 2007. This is awesome because i can take all of these companies and look up weather they are a private corp. or a franchise corp. This should provide very good statistics that i can use in my paper.http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune500/2007/full_list/index.html

Field research Assignment-
I have decided that for my field research assignment i will simply schedule a meeting with the GM of the store i am currently working at. I work for the Cheese Cake Factory, wich as you may know is a very big and successful corp. I think this will be very useful to my project as i will be asking questions about the finances of the corporation. I will also try to make sure and get the opinion of all of my supervisors on weather they think it is a better idea to have a franchise coroporation or a closed corporation. I will take very good notes during all of this and try to make some sort of survey that will allow all of my supervisors to give me their opinion on the direction i chhose to lean with my paper. I belive this will help me in more ways than one because i will understand my topic from the point of view of people who are acctualy effected by the descions of the company.

Internet Research Tools-
I would have to say that i feel most comfortable using Google. I chose Google because it is the most familiar to me, after all i have used it all my life. I am also a user of the internet browser "Google chrome", so naturally Google has a search bar right up on my tool bar. I am very open to try any new search engines to help me narrow down my search, however I might need a bit of guidance to make this possible. The only thing that I don't like to much about Google is the number of hits that come up every time I type something into the bar. If i had to change to a different search engine i would most likely use "http://blackle.com/", it is pretty much the same as Google, but with a cooler looking page, and it is also powered by google.
