This approach is a useful lens to understand why some chains are more likely to drive superior performance than others. Hence, using this theoretical lens, we explore why and how several characteristics of franchised chains influence sales performance. This study includes 189 retail and service chains operating in the United States. Findings show that experience before franchising, length of training, chain age, franchising fees, and level of internationalization positively impact performance of franchised chains, whereas the proportion of franchised units has a curvilinear influence (inverted-U shape) on chains' performance. Implications for franchising scholars and practitioners are discussed. date: 2015-01 date_type: published publisher: Wiley id_number: 10.1111/jsbm.12059 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/jsbm.12059 faculty: gestion divisions: CRM keywords: franchised chains keywords: performance keywords: United States language: en has_fulltext: FALSE doi: 10.1111/jsbm.12059 view_date_year: 2015 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Small Business Management volume: vol. 53 number: n° 1 pagerange: 145-165 refereed: TRUE issn: 00472778 harvester_local_overwrite: oai_set harvester_local_overwrite: creators_idrefppn harvester_local_overwrite: creators_name harvester_local_overwrite: pending harvester_local_overwrite: note oai_set: ut1c site: ut1 citation: Akremi, Assâad El , Perrigot, Rozenn and Piot-Lepetit, Isabelle (2015) Examining the Drivers for Fransised Chains Performance Through the Lens of the Dynamic Capabilities Approach.
