Abstract

Los niveles de competitividad de los países de Latinoamérica se encuentran en un proceso de desarrollo lento para alcanzar a empresas situadas en economías más modernas, por tener dificultades en algunos pilares fundamentales de competitividad como los niveles de innovación tecnológica en base a inversiones inteligentes de infraestructura, capital intelectual, que tengan un impacto importante en la productividad multifactorial. El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar la situación competitiva de las Pequeñas y Medianas Empresas (PYMES) en la ciudad de Trujillo, evaluando los factores claves para la productividad que tendrán una asociación con la competitividad sostenible. Se realizó un estudio empírico aplicado a 152 empresarios en diversos sectores de la ciudad de Trujillo, recopilando información de tipo cualitativo y cuantitativo. Los resultados obtenidos fueron que el 70% de las empresas del sector calzado están preparados para responder a las cinco fuerzas competitivas de Porter, para el sector metal mecánica el 89% de las empresas, y el 70% de las empresas para textil son competitivas. Se identificó que la calidad, capital humano, finanzas, plan estratégico, comercialización y las alianzas estratégicas, tienen una relación positiva con la competitividad; sin embargo, al integrarse con las TICs no se aprecia la sinergia del negocio. Los hallazgos son de utilidad para mejorar el conocimiento en las decisiones estratégicas de los Gerentes de las PYMES para responder a la Globalización y al proceso intensivo de la digitalización. || The levels of competitiveness of the countries of Latin America are in a process of slow development to reach those companies located in more modern economies, because they have difficulties in some fundamental pillars of competitiveness such as the levels of technological innovation based on intelligent infrastructure investments, intellectual capital, that have a major impact on multifactor productivity. The objective of this research was to analyze the competitive situation of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the city of Trujillo, evaluating the key factors for productivity that will have an association with sustainable competitiveness. For this, the first step was to develop review of the fundamental literature for the hypotheses and the empirical study applied to 152 entrepreneurs in various sectors of the city of Trujillo, compiling the opinion of qualitative and quantitative type and statistical processing. The results obtained were that 70% of the companies in the footwear sector are prepared to respond to the five competitive forces of Porter, for the mechanical metal sector 89% of the companies, 70% of the textile companies are competitive. Through linear regressions, we identify that quality, human capital, finance, strategic plan, marketing and strategic alliances have a positive relationship with competitiveness, however when integrated with ICTs, the synergy of the business is not appreciated. The findings are useful to improve knowledge in the strategic decisions of SME Managers to respond to Globalization and the intensive process of digitalization.
