Análisis sobre la incorporación de las Micro y Medianas empresas en el sector exportador.

Abstract

Ecuador over the years has been consolidated as the country with the highest rate of entrepreneurship in the region, however these ventures are not sustainable over time, since many of these disappear before three years of life. According to studies of the Superintendency of Companies, Securities and Insurance, micro, small and medium enterprises are the most numerous and are considered important figures in the development of the economy of Latin American countries, because their volume of production of goods and services 100% satisfies an existing demand; besides being the main source of employment generation in the country; However, these MSMEs face challenges every day in order to consolidate their position in the national market and, subsequently, to embark on an internationalization. The MSMEs of the country contribute with 23% of the exports that are made, being the markets most desired by these companies such as the United States, Canada, Colombia and Peru. Despite the difficulties, six factors have been identified that have an impact on MSMEs becoming international, which are the characteristics of the entrepreneur, internal factors of the company, characteristics of the sector, characteristics of the regional environment, resources and capabilities and innovation.
