“…This topic presents the model using the method of comparing past research with the work presented in Table 4, which is based on the grouping of reviewed research studies shown in Table 1 (about franchising business and theory) [3,7,8,10,16,20,23,24,27,[33][34][35][36]46,47,[51][52][53]57,[61][62][63], Table 2 (factors influencing the decision-making process) [45,52,53,57,[67][68][69], and Table 3 (decision-making process) [52,53,68,70]. The researcher has organized the research work into three groups: the first group details the research related to franchise business theory, the second group is research related to factors influencing franchise investment decisions [52,53,70], and the third group is a research study related to the decision-making process for investing in cosmetics and dietary supplement franchises [38].…”
