IMF 외환위기 이후 기업의 주기적인 구조조정과 최근 경기 불황의 지속에 따른 명예퇴직, 조기퇴직이 증가하고, 고용 없는 경제성장으로 기업의 신규채용이 증가하지 않는다. 본 연구는 이러한 창업시장이 확대되는 사회적, 경제적 환경과 프랜차이즈 산업의 장 단점 및 산업환경에 따른 기회와 위기에 주목하여 외식프랜차이즈를 중심으로 SWOT요인의 상대적 중요도와 우선순위를 제안하고자 한다. 연구방법으로는 SWOT요인들의 중요도를 분석하기 위해 AHP분석과 ANP분석을 실시하였으며 호환성에 문제가 없어 AHP 분석 결과를 활용하여 중요도 분석을 하였다. 분석결과 첫째, SWOT 분석에서 내부적 요인 중 강점요인을 약점요인보다 중요하게 생각하고 있으며 외부적 요인 중 기회요인을 위기요인보다 중요하게 생각하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 국내 외식프랜차이즈 사업이 갖는 약점요인과 위기요인이 있긴 하지만 이러한 부정적인 요인보다는 강점요인과 기회요이 갖는 긍정적인 점을 더 중요하게 판단하여 국내 외식프랜차이즈의 전체적인 성장 가능성을 높이 평가한 결과라 할 것이다. 둘째, 강점요인 중에서는 업체그룹은 검증된 비즈니스모델 사용으로 사업안정화(S3)가 가장 중요도가 높았으며 전문가그룹은 가맹본부의 표준화된 제품(서비스) 및 경영지원(S2)이 가장 중요도가 높았다. 셋째, 약점요인 중에는 가맹본부와의 불리한 지위에서 협상 및 해결(W3)과 계약기간 내 계약파기 어려움과 파기 시 막대한 손실발생(W4)의 중요도 합계가 60%에 이른다. 넷째, 기회요인 중에서는 라이프 스타일, 가치관, 소비의식 구조의 변화(O3)가 압도적으로 중요하게 나왔다. 다섯째, 위기요인 중에서는 소비시장이 다양화에 따른 고객의 욕구변화(T1)를 가장 중요하게 생각하는 것으로 나타났다. 향후 다양하게 변할 소비자의 욕구를 어떻게 만족시킬 것인가가 국내 외식프랜차이즈의 위기를 극복하는 가장 중요한 요인임을 반증하고 있다 할 것이다.

A franchise business is a business in which the owners, or "franchisors," sell the rights to their business logo, name, and model to third party retail outlets, owned by independent, third party operators, called "franchisees." There are a number of features in franchising or terms in franchise agreements that may lead to disputes between franchisors and franchisees. These disputes may arise because of underlying risks in the franchise relationship, franchise agreement, or conduct of the parties. In this case, ADR is an effective way to resolve disputes in a quicker and often less costly way than having to go to court. If an agreement cannot be reached through mediation, then arbitration becomes the next step to resolving the differences. Whereas mediation is non-binding and focused on facilitating the parties to find a resolution that is acceptable to both, arbitration is binding and may result in a decision that is not acceptable to one of the parties. These situations can be resolved through experienced arbitration as arbitration allows franchisees to settle matters promptly and outside of the public eye. In addition, franchise dispute arbitration is usually less costly than going to traditional court. Considering all of these, reaching an agreement will also have typical clauses that address the issue of dispute resolution. It is again a more efficient process than going through the legal process and courts and is often less costly. By going through arbitration, the parties agree to give up their rights to pursue the dispute in the courts. However, there is a problem that the arbitration prior to the agreement and under the terms would be contrary to the restriction of jurisdiction under the "ACT ON THE REGULATION OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS" in Korea.

최근 기업의 사회적 책임 활동에 관한 소비자의 관심은 꾸준히 증가하고 있으며, 이러한 소비자 차원에서의 CSR 이행 여부는 기업의 제품 혹은 서비스에 대한 전반적인 이미지로 평가된다. 뿐만 아니라 이는 기업의 매출액에 직·간접적으로 영향을 미치기도 한다. 이와 더불어 기술력의 부재 등으로 인해 기업의 경쟁력 제고는 점차적으로 힘들어지고 있으며, 소비자들의 구매력 및 만족도 제고를 위한 CSR 수행 등과 같은 기업의 명성에 더욱 의존하는 구조로써 변화되고 있다. 이에 기업들은 여러 자선사업이나 기부활동, 각종 프로그램 지원, 환경 친화적 제품 개발 등과 같은 CSR 수행에 많은 비용을 지출하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 따라 본 연구는 프랜차이즈 업계의 CSR을 통한 소비자의 기업 평판 및 인식 제고, 프랜차이즈 기업이 추구하는 자원(상품 및 서비스) 활용도를 높이고 효과적인 프랜차이즈 업계의 CSR 프로그램 구축방안 마련을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 기존 연구 및 국내외 CSR 사례를 통해 수준별 단계 모델을 제시하고, 국내 프랜차이즈 업계가 추구해야 할 CSR의 전반적인 방향성을 제시하였다. 기존연구 고찰 및 국내외 기업들의 CSR 현황 검토를 통한 본 연구 결과, CSR의 단계적 수준은 총 네 가지 형태로 제시되었다. 그러나 사례 검토를 통해 국내 프랜차이즈 기업의 CSR 수준은 1, 2단계의 수준으로 나타나는 것으로 확인되었다.

Purpose - This study is to examine the effect of environmental orientation on innovation, environmental and market performance in Korean franchise firms' context. This study also investigates how environmental orientation, innovation and environmental performance play mediating roles between environmental orientation and market performance. For these purposes, the authors developed a structural model which consists of several constructs. In the model, environmental orientation was proposed to affect innovation and environmental performance, while innovation and environmental performance influence market performance. Specifically, innovation and environmental performance were proposed as core mediators between franchise firms' environmental orientation and market performance. Research design, data, and methodology - The data were collected from 155 franchise firms in Korea during January 2012. The results of factor analysis with reliability test with Cronbach's α warranted unidimensionality of the measures for each construct. In addition, nomological validity of the measures of each construct was warranted from the result of correlation analysis. The data were analyzed with reliability analysis, and structural equation modeling with SPSS Win/PC 18.0 and AMOS 18.0. Results - The results of the overall model analysis appeared as follow: χ²=52.388(df=21), p=.000. GFI=.932, AGFI=.854, NFI=.964, CFI=.978, RMSEA=.099, RMR=.059. Since the result of the overall model analysis demonstrated a good fit, we further analyzed our data. The findings can be summarized as follows: Firstly, the environmental orientation had a positive effect on innovation and environmental performance, but had not a direct effect on market performance. Secondly, innovation had a positive effect on environmental performance, but had not a direct effect on market performance. Thirdly, environmental performance had a positive effect on market performance. Conclusions - The results of this study show that, in order to achieve competitive advantages and environmental and market performance in turbulent market situation, franchise firms should emphasize internal and external environmental orientation, and put through improvements in perspective of technology, organization, and product. Consequently, this research suggests that environmental orientation is a motive for franchise companies' innovation, environmental performance, and market performance. It also suggests theoretical and managerial implications, limitations, and further research directions.

Purpose - Domestic franchise market has been grown steadily, reaching 50 trillion won in sales and 3,360 franchise headquarters in 2014. A franchise system is an effective business system for the franchisees to lower the failure rate due to the fact that the inexperienced entrepreneurs are supported by their headquarters through the franchisee contract. However, there are also conflicts between franchiser and franchisee behind the quantitative growth of domestic franchise industry. Therefore, it is very important to structure the causes of conflicts and to examine the effect of factors on the relationship commitment and performances. Research design, data, and methodology - In this study, the author divides the composite incompatibility between the franchise and the franchisee into goal incongruity, domain dissensus, and perceptual differences, and examines each dimension to the relationship with commitment and performances. To verify the proposed research model and test hypotheses, the author selected 200 franchise responses in food and beverage industry. The data were analyzed using SPSS 18.0 and AMOS structural equation modeling program. Results - The empirical findings provide goal incongruity and perceptual differences have a negative effect on the affective commitment, but not the calculative commitment. In addition, affective commitment and calculative commitment are found to have a positive effect on re-contractual intention and extended brand shop running intention, respectively. Affective commitment have a stronger effect on re-contractual intention than calculative commitment. Conclusions - First of all, the fact that goal incongruity and perceptual differences negatively affect the affective commitment, but it does not affect the calculative commitment. It means the relationship commitment in distribution channel are multi-dimensional concept that may be attributed to emotional or affective dimensions but may exist in terms of necessity or power-dependence. Second, the level of relationship commitment such as affective and calculative commitment to franchise headquarters positively affects the re-contractual intention and franchiser's extend brand shop running intention suggest that franchiser should encourage and support existing franchisee's commitment. Third, the fact that affective commitment has a greater effect on relationship performance than calculative commitment means to induce franchisee's affective commitment and to prevent the inconsistency between goals and perceptual differences.
