Abstract

As the Chinese franchise industry grows rapidly, efforts to find a source of competitive advantage continue to be made. Establishing a knowledge transfer system is important in the franchise industry as a source of competitive advantage. However, research in China was insufficient. This study is to explore factors and consequential factors for establishing a knowledge transfer system in the franchise industry. As a result of this study, first, it was found that not only human assets but also system assets are important for the management of knowledge transfer systems in China. Therefore, investment in system assets must proceed first. In addition, it could be seen that the management of the knowledge transfer system, human assets, and system assets affect the satisfaction of the franchise's transaction relationship and consequently improve franchise performance.

최근 프랜차이즈 산업 변화는 글로벌 경영환경의 시장경제 변화로 더 빨라지고 있다. 프랜차이즈 최근 연구들은 고객과 체인 본부간의 인식에 대한 공유, 지식전달 방법 등에 대한 연구로 확장되고 있으며, 프랜차이즈가 성장하고 국제화될수록 프랜차이즈 지식이 어떻게 표준화되고 승인되며 전달될 수 있는지에 대한 지식전달시스템에 대한 연구까지 확대되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 중국 내에서 프랜차이즈 기업이 새로운 환경 환경에서의 경쟁우위로서 지식전달시스템이 어떤 역할을 수행하며, 지식전달시스템이 작동할 수 있는 선행요인와 결과요인 등을 탐색하는데 목적이 있다. 본 연구결과를 증명하기 위해 지식관리 경영시스템 선행연구를 통해 검증된 항목들을 기초로 중국 S성 지역 체인 시스템 내 가맹점을 연구대상으로 삼았다. 본 연구 결과 모든 가설이 채택된 것을 알 수 있었다. 첫째, 중국 내 지식전달시스템 경영을 위해서는 인적 자산 뿐만 아니라 시스템 자산이 중요하며, 우선적으로 시스템 자산에 대한 투자가 이루어져야 한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 체인 본부의 이러한 지식전달시스템 경영, 인적 자산, 시스템 자산은 가맹점의 거래관계 만족에 영향을 미치고 결과적으로 프랜차이즈 성과를 향상시키는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 본 연구는 기존 변수들을 세분화하지 않고 2개의 범주화를 통해 검증을 진행함으로써 세부적 실행요인을 선별하는데는 한계를 지니고 있었으며, 본 연구에 참여한 표본들의 경우 3년 미만의 프랜차이즈 경력을 지닌 연구대상들이 많아 지식전달시스템 경영에 대한 인식 정도가 어느 정도 이루어졌는지에 대한 한계점을 지녔다. 마지막으로 연구대상의 제한성이 있었다.
