Franchise and branch forms in nonprofits. From her own survey of nonprofit organizations and their local affiliates, Oster found the choice between the franchise form and the branch office form consistent with agency theory, and described the mechanisms nonprofit franchises use to coordinate. Caveat: Read in its abstract only, which does not give the survey's size.
In this section, “read” means read by the Organizational Structures series: where a line says a work, or part of one, was not read, the series did not read it.
