Abstract

This article explores how the proportion of franchised outlets in franchise systems influences two performance outcomes of these systems: the growth in sales per outlet and the proportion of outlets discontinued. It was found that franchise systems whose proportions of franchised outlets are misaligned according to agency theory show a higher proportion of outlets discontinued and lower growth in sales per outlet than their better aligned counterparts.
