<span class="h2">7.6 Battery IV. Characteristics of the economic unit</span>
<br />The purpose of this battery of questions is to identify some important characteristics of the economic units, taking as a starting point the establishment in which the people who are employed perform their main job. Some of these characteristics are: name, proprietary sector, type of activity to which it is dedicated, the way in which it operates (whether or not it is registered under the Law of Corporations, in the case of private companies and businesses, or the way in which the public administration of this country operates), availability of premises and accounting records, as well as the geographic level in which it performs, in the case of private companies and businesses.</p>
<p><span class="em">Question 4</span>
<br />This question is asked to employed persons, in order to find out if the economic unit for which they work has a name.
<br />[Omitted figure]</p>
<p><span class="ital">Name of the economic unit</span>. The trade name, business name or name with which a company, institution or business advertises itself.</p>
<p><span class="em">Question 4i</span>
<br />This question is asked to employed persons who work for private sector economic units, incorporated as corporations or independent companies (personal or family) that have an establishment and office, to identify the geographic coverage of the operation of said economic units.</p>
<p>Conceptual clarifications:</p>
<p>Remember that the basic difference between a concession and a franchise lies in the freedom or limits each modality establishes to produce a good or provide service. The concession offers greater operational freedom, compared with the franchise; in the latter, the franchisee must follow the operating and organizational guidelines established by the franchise owner to the letter.</p>
<p>Instructions:</p>
<div class="i1">- Classify the concession holder in option 1, 2 or 3, based on the scope of its actions.</div><p>1. In other countries</p>
<div class="i1">- Workers who work for economic units that have offices or establishments in another country, as they are part of a commercial, banking or service chain.<br /><br />Examples:</div><div class="i2">- Walmart<br />- Citibank<br />- Nissan<br />- Bbva Bancomer<br />- Bimbo<br />- Those who work for multinationals that are dedicated to granting concessions. These are classified here because they have an international presence.</div><p>2. Only in Mexico, but in several cities in the country</p>
<div class="i1">- Those who work for economic units that have several offices in different federal entities or cities in this country.<br /><br />Examples:</div><div class="i2">- Banorte<br />- Comercial Mexicana<br />- JM Romo<br />- Farmacias Guadalajara</div><div class="i1">- Workers who work for companies with concessions who operate at a national, regional or state level.<br /><br />Examples:</div><div class="i2">- Embotelladora Coca Cola de Occidente<br />- Martinez auto agency, with presence in two cities<br />- Bodega Aurrerá</div><div class="i1">If a company fully identified with its own business name operates at a national or regional level, but depends on a corporation whose business name is different and has an international presence, when classifying the information consider only the scope of operation of the economic unit for which the interviewee work based on the specific name or business name, not that of the corporation.</div><p>3. Only in one city</p>
<div class="i1">- Those who work for economic units that have offices or establishments that only operate in one city.<br /><br />Examples:</div><div class="i2">- Cenaduría San Antonio (San Antonio Restaurant)<br />- Taller de torno Ramón (Lathe workshop Ramón)</div><p>4. It is a business that operates under a franchise</p>
<div class="i1">- Those who work for economic units that operate under a franchise, regardless of the geographical scope of operation they cover.<br /><br />Examples:</div><div class="i2">- Sirloin Stockade<br />- OXXO<br />- Pizza Hut<br />- Clean and Clean<br />- Kids Dental Center</div><div class="i1">- Sequence to follow.
