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.
