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 - Due to the increase in coffee consumption and competition, domestic coffee franchise companies are currently entering the overseas market. Therefore, coffee franchise companies are pursuing a variety of marketing strategies to meet customer needs and gain competitive advantage in overseas markets. From this perspective, overseas franchise companies need to ensure that their servicescapes meet the needs of their overseas customers. For these purposes, the study is to identify the impact servicescapes on customer satisfaction and customer loyalty focused on Global Coffee Franchise Company "C", which extended its business worldwide in Mongolia. Research design, data, and methodology - The data were collected from customers who had visited the stores of 'C' company in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. 435 valid questionnaires collected through online survey coded and analyzed using frequency, confirmatory factor analysis, correlations analysis, and structural equation modeling with SPSS 24 and SmartPLS 3.0. Result - Firstly, seating comfort, facility aesthetics, and cleanliness, ambient conditions among servicescapes influenced customer satisfaction. Secondly, servicescapes didn't affect the loyalty directly. Third, customer satisfaction had positive effect on loyalty. Fourthly, cleanliness which was ranked lower in Korea had a great effect on customer satisfaction in Mongolia. Fifthly, IPMA(Importance-performance map analysis) shows that the importance of servicescapes is higher for women than for men, and facility aesthetics for female and cleanliness is the most important for male. Conclusions - The results of this study show that there is a positive (+) effect on customer satisfaction in order of cleanliness, ambient conditions, aesthetics, and seating comfort. Therefore, franchise companies considering or advancing into Mongolia should consider importance in order of cleanliness, ambient conditions and aesthetics when entering Mongolia market. For example, franchise managers should select Monday as a "clean day," and all merchants should spend all of their open hours and keep their stores clean in accordance with the head office manual. In addition, franchise managers need to hire a VMD (visual merchandising) experts to build up a physical environment that will effectively highlight the space-specific display of the store so that Mongolian local customers can have a satisfactory climate and aesthetics. And, the IMPA analysis between servicescapes and customer satisfaction shows that women are more susceptible to servicescapes than men. Especially, in the case of women, the importance of esthetics is high, but the performance is low. Thus, if the aesthetics are actively improved, customer satisfaction can be effectively increased.

Second, employee service influenced on customer satisfaction. Third, menu influenced on hedonic value. Fourth, brand reputation influenced on utilitarian value. Fifth, hedonic value increase customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. Sixth, hedonic value increase customer loyalty. Seventh, customer increase customer loyalty. And, the ANN analysis shows that utilitarian value is the first most important factor influencing customer satisfaction, followed by hedonic value, facilities & atmosphere, menu and employee service. However, the ANN analysis shows that customer satisfaction is the first most important factor influencing customer loyalty, followed by utilitarian value, hedonic value, brand reputation, menu, and employee service. Conclusions - This study provides practical implications for enhancing customer satisfaction and customer loyalty by applying the ANN technique that complements the limitations of the linear structural relationship analysis using the proposed model and the alternative model. In other words, the SEM-ANN model provides guidelines on how Korean franchise restaurants should formulate facilities & atmosphere, employee service, and menu mix strategies in China. In addition, ANN 's analysis shows that restaurant brand reputation plays a pivotal role in increasing customer loyalty. The fact suggests that Korean franchise companies should establish their domestic brand reputation prior to their entry into overseas markets such as China.

Purpose: In 2020, the franchise industry accomplished a significant growth compared to the previous year, as the number of franchise companies increased by 9.0% while the number of franchise brands increased by 12.5%. Despite growth in size, the Korean franchise industry underwent many negative incidents, such as franchise ownership sales to private equity funds, that led to deterioration of businesses. From this point of view, this study aims to make various proposals to help policy makers develop franchise industry policies by analyzing trends of the current and previous presidential administrations' franchise policies and regulations using newspaper articles. Research design, data and methodology: A total of 7,439 articles registered in Naver API from February 25, 2013 to November 29, 2021 were extracted. Among them, 34 unrelated video articles were deleted, and a total of 7,405 articles from both administrations were used for analysis. The R package was used for word frequency analysis, word clouding, word correlation analysis, and LDA (Latent Dirichlet Allocation) topic modeling. Results: The keyword frequency analysis shows that the most frequently mentioned keywords during the previous administration include 'no-brand', 'major company', 'bill', 'business field', and 'SMEs', and those mentioned during the current administration include 'industry' and 'policy'. As a result of LDA topic modeling, 9 topics such as 'global startups' and 'job creation' from the previous administration, and 10 topics such as 'franchise business' and 'distribution industry' from the current administration were derived. The results of LDAvis showed that the previous administration operated a policy based on mutual growth of large and small businesses rather than hostile regulations in the franchise business, whereas the current administration extended the regulation related to franchise business to the employment sector. Conclusions: The analysis of past two administrations' franchise policy, it can be suggested that franchisors and franchisees may complement each other in developing the Fair Transactions in Franchise Business Act and achieving balanced growth. Moreover, political support is needed for sound development of franchisors. Limitations and future research suggestions are presented at the end of this study.

The objective of this article is to examine Korean consumers' perception level of the country-of-origin of brand (COB) of global restaurant franchises. Although global brands have rushed onto the Korean food service market since 1980, there has been little or no research conducted regarding consumers' perception of COB of global restaurant franchises. In this study, we surveyed consumers to determine their perception of COB for 27 foreign global restaurant brands; specifically, we attempted to determine whether or not Korean consumers could correctly recognize the COB of each brand. The results of this research revealed that Korean consumers correctly perceived the COB of certain restaurant brands, and incorrectly perceived some other brands. For instance, Korean consumers' perception level of the COB of McDonald's and KFC were quite high, and conversely their perceptions of the COB of Outback Steakhouse and Pohoa were relatively low. When consumers select a restaurant brand, COB image was shown to be more influential than brand image.
