Retail contracting: theory and practice
Article Abstract:
There are several characteristics of retail contracting that are similar across different industries. Franchising is one form of retail contracting or vertical separation. It involves risk which, together with production, was shown to have a direct relationship with the use of incentives. Other regularities that appear in a wide range of industries include the trend that larger units tend to be company operated and that retail prices are lower under company operation than under franchising.
