| contents | SME business performance: an analysis of economic activities by sectors and subsectors in Guanajuato, Mexico Martha Ríos-Manríquez Multidisciplinarias (Ciencias Sociales) internal non external non Business performance financial determinants This article identifies the factors that influence business performance (BP) in the construction, trade, and services sectors, as well as sub-sectors and branches of the manufacturing sector of small and mid-size enterprises (SME) in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico. A quantitative, descriptive, and correlational statistical analysis was performed on a sample of 460 enterprises, estimating a linear regression model using the ordinary least squares (OLS) method. Empirical evidence reveals that the construction, trade, and services sectors agree that profitability, efficient internal processes, and low labor absenteeism are those factors that mostly influence BP. On the other hand, in sub-sectors of low-technology manufacturing (minerals, metals, plastic and rubber; textile; and leather and substitute materials), the quality of product is the factor viewed as the most relevant to explain BP in Mexican SME. 2021 artículo científico 0188-6266 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=41669727021 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/416/41669727021/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/416/41669727021/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/416/41669727021/41669727021.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/416/41669727021/movil 10.15174/au.2021.2954 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=416 Acta Universitaria application/pdf Universidad de Guanajuato Acta Universitaria (México) Vol.31 |
