Abstract

This chapter provides a comprehensive analysis of social franchising model development, focusing on the key dimensions and insights that define this unique organisational form. It explores the dual missions of social and commercial impact, the complexities of hybrid organisations, and the scaling strategies employed by social entrepreneurs. The analysis delves into the definitional issues surrounding social franchising, the legal frameworks that govern them, and the various stakeholders involved. It also examines the application of social franchising in different sectors, with a particular focus on healthcare. The chapter highlights the need for a more precise conceptual framework for social franchising and the integration of commercial franchising with social purpose. It concludes by emphasizing the importance of addressing hybridity tensions and the need for further research in this area.
