Abstract: AbstractThe entry mode choice on a new market is always a hot issue for both practitioners and academics. One of the most widely used solutions is franchising. This chapter explains why in emerging market this option can be interesting. It also delineates the different suboptions within the franchise option. It reviews success criteria as identified in franchise literature and introduces the concept of legitimacy as a key factor to entry success. Grounding on the new institutionalism theoretical framework, the different types of legitimacy — coercive, normative, and cognitive — are exposed and discussed in light of emerging markets characteristics.
