IBARRA CISNEROS, Manuel Alejandro; GONZALEZ TORRES, Lourdes Alicia y DEMUNER FLORES, María del Rosario. Business competitiveness in the small and medium-sized enterprises of the manufacturing sector in Baja California. Estud. front [online]. 2017, vol.18, n.35, pp.107-130. ISSN 2395-9134. https://doi.org/10.21670/ref.2017.35.a06.
The objective of this research is to determine the competitiveness level of the manufacturing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) of Baja California and to identify which areas within them affect this competitiveness. The methodology used is descriptive, correlational, and cross-sectional; the systemic competitiveness model is developed at the micro level, and a measurement instrument with 64 questions is used on 195 companies in the state; in addition, traditional multiple linear regressions are performed to test the hypotheses. One of the findings is that the SMEs in the state have a medium-low competitiveness level and do not show any relationship between the size of the companies and their competitiveness; however, the production-operations area prove to be more important for their competitiveness level. Although the measurement instrument that is used has no proportionality at the municipality and subsector level, it does allow us to approach the internal operation of the SMEs.
