은행과 고객기업의 장기적인 결속관계(結束關係)는 부작용이 없는 것은 아니지만 효율적인 정보관리(情報管理) 및 감시(監視), 도산위기시의 구제노력(救濟努力)등을 통해 기업의 자본조달비용(資本調達費用)을 낮추고 투자(投資)를 촉진하는 효과를 기대할 수 있다. 우리나라에서는 여신관리(與信管理), 정책금융(政策金融)등 지나친 금융규제(金融規制)로 인하여 은행-기업간 자생적(自生的) 협조적(協調的)인 결속관계를 발전시켜 오지 못하였는바, 이를 시정함과 동시에 회수가능한 은행부실채권(銀行不實債權)의 주식전환(株式轉換), 주주협의회(株主協議會)의 운영 등도 검토해 볼 수 있을 것이다. 은행-기업간 주식상호보유(株式相互保有)를 통한 결속관계의 유도는 현재로서는 문제가 많지만, 중장기적으로 금융자율화(金融自律化), 산업부문에서의 대내외경쟁(對內外競爭)의 심화, 기업소유분산(企業所有分散) 등이 진전되는 상황에서는 부작용(副作用)이 크게 완화될 수 있을 것이다. 향후에 예상되는 기업환경(企業環境)의 변화를 감안할 때 은행-기업관계는 기업의 규모(規模)나 신용도(信用度)에 따라 상이한 모습을 보일 전망이다. 은행차입의존(銀行借入依存)이 크게 낮아질 초우량기업(超優良企業)은 국제금융 증권관련업무 등을 위주로 몇 개의 은행과 동시에 경쟁적(競爭的)인 관계를 유지해 가는 반면, 신용이 양호(良好)한 대기업(大企業)과 유망중견기업(有望中堅企業)은 은행과의 전통적(傳統的)인 결속관계(結束關係)를 가장 긴밀히 발전시켜 갈 것이다. 은행은 중소기업(中小企業)과도 고객관계를 심화시켜 갈 것이나, 이를 기업의 회계(會計) 등 경영투명성(經營透明性)의 결여(缺如)는 장기적인 결속관계를 형성해 가는 데 제약(制約)으로 남을 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate three issues. First, we investigated four control mechanisms that might increase the franchisee's perception of franchiser commitment: a franchiser's TSIs, relational norms, monitoring, and qualification programs. Second, we proposed that appropriateness and efficacy of these control mechanisms in fostering franchiser commitment might be changed over the relationship life cycle. Third, we examined how bureaucracy and levels of franchiser's commitment related to relationship satisfaction. Through empirical analysis, research results indicate that a franchiser's TSIs and relational norms are positively associated with the franchisee's perception of franchiser commitment. In detail, what increase franchisee's perception of franchiser commitment in short-term relationship are franchiser's TSIs but relational norms are more important in the long-term relationship. In addition, the results show that franchisee's perception of franchiser commitment, participation and formalization are positively related to relationship satisfaction.

This study is basically focused on the relationship between the franchisors and franchisees. The goal of this study is mainly to inquire the variables of relationship characteristics affecting the commitment which lies in internal polity, and secondly to comprehensively analyze the performance resulting from commitment and examine the efficient alternatives onto relationship management. The practical methodology using in this study has been done in a national representing food franchise system. This study has been resulted in following: First, the variables that show significantly to the commitment are noncoercive influential strategy, dependence, cooperation, and goal divergence. In the contrast the coercive influential strategy hasn't showed significantly; Second, the result has showed that the commitment when it would be related with performance furthered the financial performance and role performance; and. therefore, we finally conclude that it would be more important to make lots of efforts of establishing the win-win relationship through the long-term commitment between the franchisor and franchisee in order to develop the more effective relationship of the franchise system.

In a power-asymmetry relationship like franchise system, a high dependent franchisee must often rely on its powerful partner. Therefore, in order to build up 'win-win' systems, therefore channel members should increase trust and commitment each other to enhance the relationship quality to sustain long-term cooperative relationships. First of all, to increase the relationship quality in franchise system, franchisor should increase franchisee's perception of the powerful franchisor's justice. The point of this research, I established basic hypotheses and comparative hypotheses to examine franchisor's behavior what franchisee expected which influences on franchisee's attitude and behavior in power - asymmetry relationship in franchise system. For the purpose of the empirical testing, managers of franchisee in the food service industry of Korea had been selected and analyzed, and major findings in this study as follow: First, the relational norm between franchisor and franchisee increased both distributive justice and procedural justice, especially relational norm had more effect on procedural justice than distributive justice. Second, distributive justice increased both economic commitment and social commitment while procedural justice just increased social commitment only but economic commitment. So, on the relational commitment, distributive justice was more important element than procedural justice. On the other hand, procedural justice had indirect effect on economic commitment through distributive and social commitment.

While trust and commitment, essential ingredients of the relationship quality variables, are core mediating variables for the purpose of maintaining the long-term relationship, in the context of the internal political economy of company and the relational performance of its members, there have been limited studies which explore as to how each of the dimensions have affect differently. The basic purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between an automobile manufacturer and its agencies. The main purpose of this study is to examine how each different dimension of trust and commitment on the automobile manufacturer have different mediating effects in the context of internal political economy variables and relational performance perceived by its agents. Another purpose is to investigate the mechanism by which the relational performance of the agencies is improved. An empirical study surveying 115 sales office managers at a leading automobile manufacturer in Korea was conducted. An analysis of the collected data indicates that while internal political economy variables have a positive influence on the agencies' relational performance through the mediating role of trust and commitment, agencies' benevolence on its headquarter has a different influence on the dimensions of commitment. Currently, an automobile manufacturer is advised to implement the relational management philosophy in dealing with its agencies with an hope of innovative orientation for customers. In this sense, this study is a big stride in providing ample implications for the automobile manufacturer in establishing trust and commitment, which are the prerequisite conditions in developing and maintaining a successful long-term relationship with its agencies, and in improving the agency's relational performance.

The purpose of this study is to identify whether franchisee-perceived franchisor's proactiveness, innovativeness and risk-taking affect franchisee-perceived affective commitment with franchisor, and the affective commitment affects franchisee-perceived external representation and service delivery. Based on total 280 samples obtained from owners or managers of franchise fast-food restaurants in located in Yeongnam province, the research findings are as follows. Firstly, the innovativeness and risk-taking positively affect the affective commitment. Secondly, the affective commitment positively affects external representation and service delivery. But proactiveness does not affect the affective commitment significantly. These findings imply that firstly, franchisor should investigate consumer trends periodically and develop new successful menus and services more than competitors do, and implement new marketing techniques innovatively towards these menus and services. Secondly, franchisor had better adopt high return/risk strategies because of deepened competition and do bold decisions of price change etc. Also, in order to increase proactiveness, franchisor needs to launch new menus and services earlier than competitors and occupy market in advance, which strengthens affective commitment with franchisees. Thirdly, in order to increase affective commitment with franchisees, franchisor needs to match franchisor's value with franchisee's value and same value means same objective. Lastly, limitations and further research directions are also discussed.

프랜차이즈 시스템은 서로 독립적인 프랜차이즈 본부와 가맹점이 계약에 의해 상호의무를 준수하면서 운영되는 시스템이다. 이러한 프랜차이즈 시스템은 다른 유통경로 시스템과 마찬가지로 개방형 시스템이기 때문에 환경의 변화에 민감하다. 특히, 급속하게 변화하는 고객 욕구와 경쟁전략은 프랜차이즈 시스템의 성과에 매우 큰 영향을 미친다. 이처럼 환경의 변화가 심할 경우는 프랜차이즈 본부와 가맹점 간 관계결속이 중요한 데 강한 결속력을 가진 장기적인 파트너십이야 말로 변화하는 환경에 대응할 수 있는 무기가 된다. 본 연구는 이러한 환경의 변화 즉, 환경동태성과 프랜차이즈 시스템의 장기지향성을 다루고 있다. 연구의 주된 관심은 첫째, 수요부문과 경쟁부문의 환경 동태성이 프랜차이즈 시스템 구성원 간 장기지향성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는 지 밝히는 것이고, 둘째, 이러한 환경의 영향이 다양한 조절변수 (관계수명주기, 경로기후, 의존성)에 의해 어떻게 달라지는 지를 규명하는 것이다. 이러한 목적으로 본 연구는 국내의 대표적인 프랜차이즈 업체인 L사의 가맹점 96곳을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 구조방정식 모형을 통한 분석결과 수요부문 동태성은 프랜차이즈 가맹점의 장기지향성을 약화시킨 반면, 경쟁부문 동태성은 강화시켰다. 한편 관계수명주기, 경로기후에 따라 수요부문, 경쟁부문 환경 동태성의 영향은 달라졌지만, 의존성은 유의적인 조절효과를 나타내지 못했다.
