By reading BCBS case study, I think BCBS is a good franchise example because it has very independent and diverse franchisees. This is different from many other franchisees companies.  For a franchise company, the hardest thing is to control and keep the right extent relationship with franchisees: Too far will cause the management confusion and too close influence the normal operation of franchisees and also influence the relationship between each other.  To make the whole strategy coordinate and fit can improve the overall image of company.

To measure communications plan, we can go through some main ways. From the review from all kinds of ways like: e-mail, phone, website and Social media. Focus on the content of media report. Though these different ways, we can get the real perspective in different angles.  I think the only way to measure the communication effectiveness with their own publics is research the satisfaction of their public. Good relationship will lead to the good reputation. If the communication is not effective, the result must have many dissatisfied voice and lots of suggestions, actually that is a good way to improve. To measure the relationships with local offices. I think they can hold local regular meeting, which can make the relationship become close and do some survey at regular meeting at regular intervals to collect different ideas and also the satisfaction and then submit to parent company to improve their relationship.
