“…Entonces, las franquicias con mayor tamaño serán más visibles para los stakeholders, tanto consumidores, futuros franquiciados nacionales e internacionales, proveedores, etc. De esta forma, el monitoreo por parte de los stakeholders motivará a la firma a involucrarse en actividades de RSE, ya que la satisfacción de aquellos influye en el desempeño de la firma (Meiseberg & Ehrmann, 2012).
