Proportion of franchised outlets and franchises system performance
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to examine how the proportion of franchised outlets in franchise systems affects the systems' growth in sales per outlet and the proportion of outlets discontinued. Findings show that franchise systems with misaligned proportions of franchise outlets have a higher proportion of outlets discontinued and lower growth in sales per outlet compared with those with better aligned proportions.
