“…The modification must, however, be done with the explicit permission of the franchisor aimed at adapting knowledge to fit the local environment (Kaufman & Eroglu, 1999;Lopez-Bayon & Lopez-Fernandez, 2016). The success of franchise networks depends on the nature of the knowledge transferred, whether tacit or explicit (Brookes & Altinay, 2017;Darr et al, 1995;Lim, 2012); the mechanisms of the knowledge transfer (Gorovaia & Windsperger, 2013;Minguela-Rata et al, 2010;Perrigot et al, 2017) ; and the absorptive capacity of the parties to identify, transfer, integrate and apply the knowledge (Apriliyanti & Alon, 2017;Casillas et al, 2009;Mangematin & Nesta, 1999). Knowledge transfer in multinational subsidiaries and joint ventures is different from that in franchising because franchisees are not employees since they make the full investment.…”

Purpose This paper aims to offer a comprehensive systematic review of knowledge management (KM) in franchising literature over the past 29 years. Design/methodology/approach By means of bibliometric citation analysis, ISI Web of Science (WoS) database is used to analyze articles from 1990-2018. A total of 169 articles by 369 authors across 40 countries published in 113 journals from 200 institutions were clustered and examined through HistCites and VOSviewer. Findings The exploration of KM in franchising is associated with 3 factors: governance structure; performance outcome; and franchise network growth. The findings also reveal that KM in franchising is still an emerging discipline encompassing conflicting results which offer potential for future research. Research limitations/implications Identified research gaps and contradicting views in the literature offer opportunities for researchers to contribute to this research domain by empirically testing the role of absorptive capacity, replication vs adaptation strategies and new franchising formats, such as micro/social franchising. Originality/value This study is unique in its examination of KM in franchising. It also highlights the value of knowledge in franchise chain performance.

“…This study confirms the existence of coercive pressure by DiMaggio and Powell (1983), that organizations are formed by the institutional context adaption around them. Coercive pressure to adaption occurs when organizations adapt to the conditions around them, and other organizations or public pressures, such as the influence of regulatory, political, and legitimacy issues (Brookes & Altinay, 2017). According to the Government Regulation Number 60 of 2008, Internal Control System is a systematic process carried out to provide adequate confidence that a government agency's activities have been running followinglaws and regulations as well as practical and efficient in realizing good governance (Malau, 2017).…”

This study examines the effect of legal audit, internal control system, IT utilization, and internal auditors' role as determinants of the quality of state-property reporting intervened by management optimization. The population is the Tegal Regional employee, who manages state-property, including users, regulators, and keepers in 36 regional offices. This case reflects the management and reporting of state-property in the Indonesia regional. Seventy-six respondents were sampled to answer the research instrument and analyzed it by path analysis. The results show that the internal control system, IT utilization, and state property management optimization positively affect state-property reporting quality. The use of internal control systems and IT utilization positively influence the optimization of state-property management. The results also prove that management optimization mediates the internal control system and IT utilization on state-property reporting quality. Contrary evidence that management optimization does not mediate the impact of legal audits and internal auditors' role on the state property report's quality.

Local brand franchise business, particularly culinary, has been rapidly developed in this disruption era. This is in line with the society's need for delicious but affordable culinary. There is a comprehensive relation-blend of cultural, business, and lifestyle responses. This research examined the factors affecting local brand franchises in the business competition in the disruption era. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the results indicated that local brand franchises are a part of economic disruption, because they create an entirely new market, providing high-quality products at lower prices. In this disruption era, local brand franchises are limited by binding agreements on franchising, courage in creativity and innovation, responsive to instant culture, adaptive to changes in consumer lifestyle, multi-level hegemony, and capitalism.
