Resumen:
As franchisees are independent entrepreneurs, one important part of the business format that franchisors are not allowed to impose on their franchisees is resale prices. They are only allowed to indicate a recommended or a maximum price. This study looks further into the capabilities underlying the calculation of resale prices and suggests that price-setting is part of both: the “business know-how” transferred to franchisees and the “organizational know-how”, that is, capabilities developed and kept at the franchisor level.
