| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 財務管理研究所 === 104 === There are more and more researches studied about franchising. This paper focuses on the retailed restaurants industry which are sorted by SIC codes as 5812. We are trying to figure out whether franchising retailed restaurants’ financial performance outperform non-franchising firms in the same industry. Following Madanoglu, Lee and Castrogiovanni （2011）, I use five financial measurements: Sharpe Ratio, Treynor Ratio, Jensen Ratio, Sortino Ratio and Upside Potential Ratio as financial performance of sample firms. The results show that the performances of franchising firms are insignificant different from that of non-franchising firms based on Sharpe ratio and Treynor ratios, but results based on Jensen ratio, Sortino ratio and Upside Potential ratio show that franchising firms perform better. Overall, it is seen that franchising firms outperform non-franchising firms in the retailed restaurants industry, which explained why franchising is getting more and more popular.
