Throughout its two millennia of ruthless history, the Romanian people learned to accept that their accomplishments could be destroyed at any time. As a consequence, long-term planning was useless. More recently, the adverse reaction created by the infamous communist lies called "the glorious five-year plans", along with the current chaotic on-going transition toward profit oriented business, naturally has led to a very short-term orientation in private and organizational life.

Despite recent economic turmoil, franchising in Argentina has rebounded at a surprising rate. In the 1990s, many foreign franchisors (particularly from the U.S.) expanded to Argentina. At the height of the economic turmoil in 2002, the sector shrunk by 4% and the expectations for 2003 were very low. However, contrary to expectations, in 2003, the sector grew by 70%, generating approximately US$1.9 billion in sales in 2003, and adding twenty-nine (29) new franchises. Today, franchising in Argentina represents 20% of the total retailer sector, accounts for more than 13,000 retail stores, and employs more than 100,000 employees. Furthermore, the national franchising association (Asociacion Argentina de Franchising), an organization affiliated with the International Franchise Association, estimates that the sector will continue to enjoy strong growth, projecting sales volume to reach US$2.35 billion in 2005 and for the sector to account for 30% of the retail sector in the next decade.

When doing business in The Philippines, it is advisable to be aware of the Filipino sense of lifelong obligation. A foreign businessperson frequently becomes involved in giving and receiving favors and, therefore, owes obligations to local people and acquires obligations from them. This process of give and take is a normal part of business in all countries, however, in the Philippines, important personal obligations have a very serious, nearly sacred importance. Keeping this cultural value in mind, successful international businesspeople are cautious and conscious in their personal and professional relationships (which are often mixed) with Filipino government officials, business leaders, partners, employees, clients, suppliers and service providers.

When a franchisor terminates a defaulting franchisee, the franchisor can sue for past due royalties and prevail, if there are no legitimate defenses by the franchisee.

Today, the answer is much less certain.
