Adaptation of Know-how for Cross-border Transfer

A central tenet in various streams of literature is the need to attend to key factors in the environment when adapting organizational practices transferred across borders. More recently scholars have examined the need to focus on key factors of the practice itself. We explore the intersection of these two factors with an in-depth, five-year longitudinal study of the transfer of franchising know-how from the US to Israel.
