Many well capitalized companies prefer to roll out multiple-units with complete management control and ownership of all of the field assets.  This method of expansion is particularly appropriate for those executives who do not have a disposition to motivate by negotiation.  The steps to a successful launch are outlined below at the macro level.  Leaving out any of the major categories during your development process will result in later problems centered around lack of operational consistency or lack of solid internal controls.
