ABSTRACT

This paper reviews the literature regarding exclusive territory restraint and encroachment and compares the development of related policies in the United States, the European Union, and South Korea. Furthermore, using coffee franchise industry data in South Korea, this paper analyzes the effects of the exclusive territory restraint on entry and exit of coffee shops. The results show that the growth rates of regulated brands' entry have stagnated during the implementation period of the KFTC's Franchising Best Practice Code. Moreover, the exit rates of coffee shops in two years after its entry decreased under the Best Practice Code and the revised Franchise Law.
