What is it about?
We study the self-identity of exited franchisors and compare these findings with a group of nascent franchisors. The self-identity conflicts of those known to have exited are similar to many in the nascent group who are struggling to adapt to the franchisor role.

Why is it important?
Most studies have focused on franchisee behavior. Here we take the franchisor perspective and build our analysis on the evidence from a group of former franchisors who had exited this mode of business development.
Perspectives
We hope this paper makes owner-managers think more carefully before becoming a franchisor and stimulates a review of the training and support available for the self-development of nascent franchisors
