Zusammenfassung: | This paper investigates the factors that explain the low internationalization rate of Brazilian franchise chains. We seek to identify whether the company's resources, such as monitoring experience, geographic dispersion in the domestic market and reputation, and institutional aspects, such as business groups affiliation, influence the probability of Brazilian franchise networks expand overseas. Using data provided by the Brazilian Franchising Association (ABF), the relation between these four aspects and the chances of internationalization are investigated through a logistic regression for a base of 420 Brazilian franchise chains, 49 internationalized and 371 not internationalized . The results confirmed the hypotheses related to the national geographic dispersion, franchisors with greater geographic dispersion in the domestic market are more likely to internationalize, and business group affiliation, franchisors affiliated to groups are more likely to internationalize. This study innovates by quantitatively proving that national geographic dispersion and business group affiliation are factors that determine internationalization of emerging market franchise chains, such as Brazil.

O objetivo e identificar se por um lado os recursos da empresa, como experiencia de monitoramento, dispersao geografica no mercado domestico e reputacao, e, por outro, aspectos institucionais, como pertencimento a grupos empresariais, influenciam a probabilidade das redes de franquias brasileiras se internacionalizarem. Utilizando dados secundarios disponibilizados pela Associacao Brasileira de Franchising (ABF), sao investigadas as relacoes entre quatro aspectos influenciadores e as chances de internacionalizacao por meio de uma regressao logistica para uma base de 420 redes de franquias brasileiras, sendo 49 dessas internacionalizadas e 371 nao internacionalizadas. Os resultados confirmaram as hipoteses relacionadas a dispersao geografica nacional, franqueadores com maior dispersao geografica no mercado domestico estao mais propensos a se internacionalizarem, e pertencimento a grupos, franqueadores que pertencem a grupos estao mais propensos a se internacionalizarem. Como contribuicao, este estudo inova ao comprovar quantitativamente que a dispersao geografica nacional, |
