Abstract
As international franchising becomes more popular, it is not fully clear whether foreign franchisors perform better or worse than local ones when competing in the same market. A study in the French fashion retail sector reveals that foreign franchisors perform similarly to their local counterparts. Additionally, the study shows that giving franchisees more autonomy significantly boosts the performance of foreign franchisors compared to local ones. However, using the ‘plural form’ does not improve the performance of foreign franchisors relative to their local competitors.
