Resumo: The micro and small enterprises are important in the Brazilian economic context; however, these kind of business have experienced high mortality rates, caused by external and internal factors including entrepreneur’s characteristics. On this context franchising is an alternative that intends to provide higher rates of success through the offer of a pre-tested and formatted business. However, this kind of enterprise is also subjected to failure. The present study intended to explore the reasons of failure in franchisees units. This research was carried through an ex-post facto and cross-sectional study. It was used the non-probabilistic sapling technique of the type snow ball. The collection of the data was done by a structured questionnaire. It was obtained data of 39 ex-franchised that finished their franchises from 2000 to 2004.  The data were analyzed by the non-parametric tests of Spearman and Kendall Tau. In conclusion it was verified that there is not a single feature determinant for failure, but a complex collection of associated features that contribute to franchising failure. Among these factors, financial aspects and peculiar franchising aspects are the most significant ones. Notwithstanding, the lack of managerial or sector experience are also critical factors to franchising failure, as they are in independent business.

As pequenas e micro empresas têm importante papel no contexto econômico brasileiro, contudo, estes empreendimentos possuem altas taxas de mortalidade, ocasionadas por fatores externos e internos. Neste contexto o franchising é uma alternativa que visa melhorar as chances de sobrevivência destes negócios por meio da oferta de um negócio formatado e pré-testado. Entretanto, esta forma de empreendimento também está sujeita ao fracasso. O presente estudo objetivou explorar fatores de fracasso de unidades franqueadas. A pesquisa foi realizada por meio de um estudo de campo, ex-post facto e transversal. Concluiu-se que não existe um fator determinante para o encerramento do negócio, e sim um conjunto de fatores entremeados que contribuem para o fracasso de uma franquia. Entre estes fatores, destacam-se aspectos financeiros e aspectos peculiares ao franchising. Ao contrário do esperado, a falta de experiência gerencial ou setorial também são fatores críticos para o encerramento da franquia, assim como ocorre em empreendimentos independentes. Editora Mackenzie2010-05-14info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado por Paresapplication/pdfhttps://editorarevistas.mackenzie.br/index.php/RAM/article/view/351Revista de Administração Mackenzie; Vol. 11 No. 4 (2010)Revista de Administração Mackenzie; Vol. 11 Núm. 4 (2010)Revista de Administração Mackenzie (Mackenzie Management Review); v. 11 n. 4 (2010)1678-69711518-6776reponame:RAM.
