WE FOUND THAT MEXICAN FRANCHISES GREW WHILE THE FRANCHISES FROM THE UNITED STATE DECREASED. CULTURAL CHANGES FROM ENTREPRENEURS ARE FAVORABLES BUT FAST FOOD FRANCHISES ARE CHANGING CULTURAL EATING HABITS AND NOT ALLOW THE FORMATION OF VALUE CHAINS WITH LOCAL SUPPLIERS.© 2018, Facultad de Contaduría y Administración, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.
