CALL FOR PAPERS
Journal of Retailing Special Issue: Franchising and Retailing
Rajiv P. Dant, University of Oklahoma
Marko Grünhagen, Eastern Illinois University
Josef Windsperger, University of Vienna
Special Issue Co-Editors
Franchising is the world’s fastest growing form of retailing. The Journal
of Retailing is proud to announce a Special Issue focused on the
broad-based theme of franchising in retail settings. In this issue, we
hope to feature multidisciplinary franchising research so long as the
authors can relate the manuscript to the context of retailing. Manuscripts
that significantly advance the boundaries of our current knowledge of
franchising, in both single-country and multi-cultural settings, are
equally encouraged. The Special Issue is seeking submissions that provide
new insights into franchising as a vehicle to deliver value to all retail
aspects of a franchise system in the broader sense, such as retail
customers, franchisees, or the broader franchisee-franchisor relationship.
Topics for this Special Issue could include (but are not limited to):
• Examination of relationships critical to the retailer-franchisee beyond
the common fast-food setting
• The role of franchising in shattering the glass ceilings for women and
minorities
• Plural forms theory of franchising
• Cross cultural examination of the ownership redirection thesis
• Consumer research perspectives on franchise service delivery
• Incorporating personality variables into traditionally B2B oriented
franchising research
• Reexamination of franchising research topics using longitudinal data
• Investigation of consolidation pressures and downsizing effects in
franchise systems
• Integration and synthesis of traditional franchise theories in retail
settings
• Cross cultural examination of theoretical frameworks commonly used in
explaining the franchising phenomenon in the North American context (e.g.,
agency theory, resource dependence theory, signaling theory, transaction
cost analysis, property rights theory, etc.)
• Cross country examination of the legal aspects of franchising and its
impact on the evolution of franchising
• Research into the evolution and outcomes of franchise contracts and
their impact on the governance of retail franchise systems
Papers should be submitted to the Journal of Retailing by September 30,
2009, with a cover letter indicating that the paper is intended for the
Special Issue. See http://ees.elsevier.com/retail/ for details of
submission guidelines. However, submit the manuscript to the co-editors
via email. Do not use the electronic submission process of the Journal.
