Abstract

This article aims to enrich the explanatory framework of franchise networks through integration of resource-based view and incomplete contracts theory. In this framework, we analyze franchising as the foundation for a financial architecture and two explanatory variables appear to be essential: the importance of « animate assets » in the network and the life cycle stage. Plural form allows the development of trust and cooperation, a specific governance implementation, and the emergence of information resources. If the resources' characteristics fit the governance system then the franchising network will be efficient.
