Economic sustainability in franchising: a model to predict franchisor success or failure Calderón Monge, Esther Pastor Sanz, Iván Huerta Zavala, Pilar Angélica Franchise Survival Economic sustainability Lasso regression model Spain As a business model, franchising makes a major contribution to gross domestic product (GDP). A model that predicts franchisor success or failure is therefore necessary to ensure economic sustainability. In this study, such a model was developed by applying Lasso regression to a sample of franchises operating between 2002 and 2013. For franchises with the highest likelihood of survival, the franchise fees and the ratio of company-owned to franchised outlets were suited to the age of the franchise. Surviving franchises were those that opened franchised outlets at a sustainable pace, increased the franchise fee as intangible assets increased, and effectively managed profitability and efficiency. 2017-09-12T08:43:55Z 2017-09-12T08:43:55Z 2017-09-12T08:43:55Z 2017-08 info:eu-repo/semantics/article 2071-1050 http://hdl.handle.net/10259/4598 10.3390/su9081419 eng Sustainability. 2017, V. 9, n. 8, art. 1419 https://doi.org/10.3390/su9081419 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Attribution 4.0 International MDPI
