Abstract

We employ a comparative case analysis method to compare the theoretical patterns with the empirical patterns of the governance forms. We selected two multi-national franchise networks based in Austria. Our findings suggest that franchisor’s multi-unit franchising strategy can be explained by monitoring costs, franchisee’s transaction-specific investments, franchisor’s system-specific assets, and franchisor’s financial resources scarcity. </span></span></p>
