Chapter 6 is focused on acquisitions and mergers, and that has not been a significant part of DPZ' strategy in recent years. 

DPZ is an international brand, operating under a light-asset franchisee model. Domino's Pizza Enterprises (DPE) is its largest master franchiser, with 3,500 stores in international markets such as Australia. In 2021, DPZ acquired Domino, a pizza chain in Taipei. The years prior involved other similar transactions. In contrast, DPE has acquired a number of pizza chains in Europe and Asia over the past decade. One example is DPE' purchase of Halo Pizza in Germany in 2017.
