   H.G. Parsa, an Ohio State University hospitality-management professor, looked just at the restaurant industry, analyzing health-department records for around 2,400 independent and chain restaurants in Columbus, Ohio, between 1996 and 1999.He found that 43% of the chain restaurants were still operating, compared with 39% of independent restaurants.
   
   His reasoning: Franchisers screen their prospective franchisees extensively before granting them franchises and provide training and consultation to help them avoid failure -- clear advantages that independent firms lack.
