프랜차이즈 시스템은 제2차 세계대전 이후 유통경로의 중요한 한 분야로서 미국을 시작으로 급속한 성장세를 보여 왔다. 미국과 일본을 거쳐 국내에는 1979년에 도입되어 비약적인 성장과 발전을 이루었다. 현재 한국의 프랜차이즈 시스템은 미국적 계약문화에 의한 지적재산권으로 정착되기 보다는 한국문화에 맞는 사업경쟁력 강화시스템으로 변형, 발전 되었는데 한국의 프랜차이즈 시스템은 가맹본부가 가맹점으로부터 로열티를 받는 대신 대량구매와 공동물류, 마케팅을 활용한 경쟁력을 높여 이에 따른 이익을 발생시키는 독특한 시스템으로 정착되었다. 이러한 한국적 프랜차이즈 시스템의 국내 성공에 힘입어 최근 국내의 많은 프랜차이즈 업체들이 한국적 프랜차이즈 시스템에 의한 국제경쟁력을 갖추고 해외 진출을 본격적으로 전개하고 있다. 이런 한국의 프랜차이즈 기업의 해외진출은 한국 내에서 지역을 넓혀가는 것에 비해 훨씬 많은 시간과 조사, 노력, 자금이 필요하고 이에 따르는 위험도도 높다. 즉 진출하고자 하는 국가의 문화, 관습, 생활수준 및 관련 법규에 대하여 충분한 조사를 행한 후에야 진출 여부에 대한 의사 결정을 내릴 수가 있다. 최근 카페베네가 미국 뉴욕 맨해튼에 진출하고 번 전문업체도 미국 현지에서 성공적으로 안착하는 등 국내 토종 프랜차이즈 기업들도 해외 진출을 통하여 사업을 확대하고 있는 추세다. 그러나 영국시장에서 우리나라 프랜차이즈 진출은 전무한 상태다. 영국의 경우는 개인 서비스 영역의 프랜차이즈의 성장세가 높아지고 있고 웰빙 열풍으로 동양의 식음료에 대한 정보도 유입되고 있는 상황이다. 또한 유럽국가 중에서도 인터넷 보급률이 높으며 2012년 런던올림픽 이후 IT 산업 육성 등 홍보나 마케팅 정보의 유입이 예전에 비해 좀 더 쉽게 다가갈 수 있게 되었다. 이러한 상황에서 영국 시장에 프랜차이즈 진출을 위하여 사업 환경은 어떠한지 어떠한 업종으로 진출할 것인지의 전략수립을 통하여 세밀하게 성공 요인을 분석하고 벤치마킹함으로써 한국의 프랜차이즈 기업이 영국 시장 진출에 큰 시사점을 얻을 수 있는데 그 목적이 있다.

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.
