hello, this is a case study with 5 mcq questions. Can you answer them pls.
Let's Make a Deal Fahad owns a construction and designing office in Riyadh, where he works in designing developing and furnishing buildings and houses. Although Fahad's office is new and younger than other offices and has fewer clients than its competitors, he enjoys a strong relationship with a group of elite clients (businesspeople, merchants, senior officials , etc.), representing an excellent source of income for him. Fahad has few employees (one accountant, designer, engineer). Fahad aspires to expand and reach more corporate and government clients. Still, he cannot because he does not have an engineering license (and cannot obtain it because he is not an engineer), and his name is somewhat new in the market. In addition, he does not have the human competencies and the technical systems that help and qualify him to secure large-scale contracts Therefore, in the past, he relied on sub-contracts in managing some contracts that he could not perform One of the most prominent licensed engineering offices in Qassim (BEC) heard about Fahad's office through a mutual friend. This office has everything Fahad needs a well-known name, human and technical competencies, licenses and official engineering models, and strong relations with government and private sectors within the Qassim region. In 2021, the revenues of (BEC) reached 10 million riyals. But BEC has a problem. They want to expand outside the Qassim region, especially Riyadh, but they do not have the time, resources, or clients to qualify them to work in Riyadh. So, if they enter Riyadh, they will have to start over. Therefore, they saw Fahad's office as an opportunity to expand into Riyadh, where Fahad has the experience and a ready customers base Page 1 of 5 It was agreed to hold an initial meeting to discuss the possible partnership and mechanism between the two offices. The founders themselves will attend from the BEC office. The objective of the meeting is clear: Fahad works freely under the name of the (BEC) office (Franchise) and is provided with human competencies and technical engineering systems in case he needs them. In retuin, the (BEC) office gets a certain percentage of the contracts secured by Fahad's office, which means that the (BEC) office will not work in operation and will never seek to find clients within Riyadh. All responsibility will be on Fahad's office in obtaining clients and managing the daily operations under the umbrella of the (BEC) office. 1 Questions (each question is worth 1.25 mark): Marking criteria: The most correct answer Using theories and concepts from the slides.

The meeting was held between Fahad and the BEC office in Riyadh at a mutual friend's house to discuss the partnership agreement.

As a display of the power and options available, one of the founders of (BEC) hinted that their office had many choices in Riyadh and that he was about to establish an office in Riyadh had it not been for the lack of staff.

The (BEC) office sent its offer that they would take 30% in return for Fahad using the name of the (BEC) office and in return to be supported with everything needed to expand into new markets and clients, as well as provide him with engineers and technical systems. Fahad felt that this percentage was too high and that the BEC office did not deserve it because it would not work on the ground.
