[...]courts routinely cite articles in the Journal on both franchise- and non-franchise-related matters! because, in my opinion, the Journal historically has published articles that are timely, easy to read, and substantive (or as the saying goes, All Killer, No Filler).2 My sincere hope is that you will continue to read this Journal after I fade away into [pick your favorite movie or book reference]? and, more importantly, that you will contribute content to the Journal. Good luck, Aaron-Michael.4 1.

Objetivo: Este artigo tem como objetivo investigar as influências da seleção de parceiros e do desenvolvimento de relacionamentos na escolha do modo de governança em franchising internacional.Metodologia/abordagem: Aplicando uma metodologia qualitativa com método estudo de caso múltiplo, baseado em dez entrevistas em profundidade com gestores das empresas e especialistas, foram elaborados três estudos de caso, nos quais comparam-se as estratégias de internacionalização adotadas por redes de franquias.Principais resultados: Os resultados obtidos permitiram observar que a seleção de parceiros e relacionamentos influenciam a escolha do modo de governança. Os relacionamentos também são um fator de influência para a seleção de parceiros. A partir destas conclusões, foi possível propor um modelo integrativo das relações estabelecidas entre seleção de parceiros, relacionamentos e modo de governança.Contribuições teóricas/metodológicas: Apesar de ser citado como uma opção de entrada em mercados internacionais, ainda há poucos estudos que investigam modos de governança em franchising internacional. Este artigo contribui para a academia ao explorar temas apontados como prioritários para o franchising e atender a sugestões de pesquisas propostas em estudos anteriores.Relevância/originalidade: O modelo proposto sugere que as redes de franquias considerem os relacionamentos e parceiros locais na construção de arranjos e combinações mais complexas de modos de governança em mercados estrangeiros, identificando oportunidades coerentes com sua estratégia.

This doctoral thesis examines five Harry Potter paratexts created between 2011-17 and seeks to understand their impact upon the franchise's trajectory following the end of the Potter books (in 2007) and films (in 2011). As a piece of long-form analysis, the research represents a significant addition to scholarship on contemporary film franchising and Harry Potter more specifically. The following work shows how the Potter franchise has been purposely sustained, extended and reworked as a result of the proliferation of paratexts, and explores the production contexts of those paratexts as well as their structuring textual concerns. The thesis takes a case study approach of five paratexts created between 2011-17. Although each chapter is dedicated to a specific paratext, the discussions in these chapters are interconnected due to what I note is an increasingly coherent transmedia strategy across the Harry Potter franchise during this period. The first chapter will examine Pottermore (2011-), a website and e-bookstore owned by J.K. Rowling. The second will discuss the 'Wizarding World of Harry Potter' theme parks (2011-), spaces that replicate the Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley film sets. The third will look at the 'Warner Bros. Studio Tour, London: The Making of Harry Potter' (2012-), a museum and interactive experience based at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden. The fourth is dedicated to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them(2016), the first instalment in a five-film blockbuster series. Finally, the fifth chapter explores the stageplay Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (2016)and its status as a transitional franchising text. This research utilises two methodological frameworks, textual analysis and empirical research, in order to shed light on the importance of paratexts - traditionally considered \"ancillary materials\" - in understanding how contemporary franchising works. I use Jonathan Gray's work as a springboard to consider the role of paratexts in transforming the Harry Potter franchise from an adaptation-based phenomenon into a transmedia world-building commercial force.
