Análisis de los factores que inciden en el funcionamiento de las pymes de Machala y su efecto en la economía, periodo 2016 - 2020.

Abstract

SMEs are the main axis of the economic growth and development of nations as a consequence of the multiple benefits that their generation and consolidation entails. These economic structures generally start out as family business ideas, but a small percentage of them manage to prosper over time because they do not take into account certain elements that affect their correct functioning. In this regard, the objective of the present degree project is to analyse the factors that affect the functioning of SMEs in the Machala by means of a documentary review to contrast the effects generated in the economy of the canton, using the survey as an instrument of data collection applied to a representative sample taken from the SUPERCIAS that made it possible to understand the perception of 116 SMEs. Consequently, the results obtained from the Machalean SMEs showed that the main factors affecting the functioning of the SMEs are administration and taxes. Likewise, the evaluation of public policies aimed at these organizations is established as regular and it is necessary to consider the initial investment before executing activities. Finally, the need to implement strategies where government authorities are constant participants is highlighted.
