The aim of this article is to examine what factors underlie the choice of organisational form when franchisors add new franchised units to their networks. Franchisors may grant new units to existing franchisees (multi-unit franchising (MUF)) or to new franchisees (single-unit franchising). We find that this choice depends on the existence of contractual problems (namely adverse selection and moral hazard) and several network characteristics influence the magnitude of these problems. In particular, we found a positive relationship between the intensity of the use of MUF and network size, geographical concentration of the units of the network, and industries where customers tend to be non-repetitive.
El modelo Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) se ha mostrado como un enfoque metodológico que permite pensar la enseñanza “más allá de los games”. Este artículo justifica y explora la adaptación de algunas herramientas conceptuales y prácticas del modelo TGfU en la iniciación a las Actividades Físicas de Incertidumbre Ambiental (AFIA) desde la perspectiva de una performance inteligente. El objetivo es sugerir una nueva forma de abordar la enseñanza de las AFIA en Educación Física que facilite su inclusión en un estilo de vida activo del alumnado gracias al impacto en la motivación, el conocimiento, la comprensión y la confianza en sus propias capacidades.
