In enlargement into each part, MOS Burger merely will set up a joint venture understanding with those companies that emphasizing on good homo relationship even it is able to prosecute net income ( MOS Burger Website, 2012 ) .
MOS Burger will carefully in evaluate and choose their joint venture companies in order to guarantee their concern public presentation to accomplish satisfaction consequence. Those companies that qualified to prosecute a joint venture understanding with MOS Burger must traveling through few procedures start from entry of proposal, presentation, interview and they must able to collaborate in the development of MOS Burger in that peculiar part ( “ MOS Burger Website ” , 2012 ) .
This scheme have been used really successfully in Taiwan by established a joint venture with TECO Group in twelvemonth 1990. After 22 old ages, there are 223 shops was opened in Taiwan ( “ MOS Burger Website ” , 2012 ) . The successful enlargement of MOS Burger in Taiwan is because they expert in developing their employees who able to understand the basic doctrine of MOS Burger which is “ safe and unafraid ” . ( Kouhei, Hideaki, Tsukasa, & A ; Shigeharu, 2010 ) In Indonesia, MOS Burger established a joint venture, Pt Mog Indonesia in twelvemonth 2008 and they start the first mercantile establishment in Plaza Sendayan located at South Jakarta ( “ Plaza Indonesia Shopping Centre ” , 2009 ) . Furthermore, MOS FOOD SERVICES Inc. has joint venture with Media Will Holding Co. Ltd, a Korean company that involved in wide spectrum of activities including printing, distribution and eating house direction to open a new South-Korea mercantile establishment in March 2012 ( “ MOS Report ” , 2011 ) .

( Charles and William, 2011 )
2.2 Franchising
Other than joint venture, franchising is another entry scheme that used by MOS Burger as it falls under fast nutrient industry. Harmonizing to Charles and William ( 2011 ) , franchising considered as a specialised signifier of licensing in which franchiser sell the intangible belongings to the franchisee and insists on regulations to make the concern. MOS Burger expands their concern and increase the figure of mercantile establishment out of their place state by seeking big franchisees alternatively of seeking the little graduated table or single capacity ( “ MOS Burger Website ” , 2012 ) .

This franchise system has been applied in different Asia part including Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand and others. MOS Burger use franchise system able to bring forth fixed income by roll uping royal fees from the franchisees. However, increasing figure of franchise granted by MOS Burger will ensue in a stronger competition among all the MOS Burger ‘s franchise concern within a peculiar part. In Taiwan, MOS Burger consist of 223 mercantile establishments and each mercantile establishment is compete together in order to accomplish the highest net income for each other. Strong competition between the franchisees will diminish the overall net income that can bring forth by MOS Burger and this becomes the restriction of this scheme.
