Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to determine the level of formalization for each element of the administrative process of small and medium-sized enterprise (SMEs). We specifically examine the food industry from Ciudad Obregon, Sonora, Mexico. We take as reference a total population of 60 companies of this sector. From this population we obtained a total sample of 52 local companies, of which 40 participated in the study (66.7%). In addition, a measurement instrument with Likert-type questions was administered to assess the elements of the administrative process (Cronbach Alfa = .880). The obtained results showed that the local SMEs of this sector do not have a formalized administrative process. This absence provides the opportunity for intervention programs and future studies of explanatory scope for deepening and understanding this type of organization
