S. Verbieren, M. Cools and A. Van den Abbeele

Review of Business and Economic Literature, 2008, vol. LIII, issue 4, 398-443

Abstract: This article provides an overview of the recent literature on franchising, with special attention to management control issues. Based on an analysis of franchising articles published in twenty-five high-impact journals over the period 1996-2008, the literature is divided into the following three broad streams: franchise initiation and subsequent propensity to franchise, franchise performance and control of franchising relationships. Several research gaps and avenues for future research are identified, especially towards a systematic study of management control issues in the context of franchising relationships.
