VALUE CHAIN CRISIS IN MEXICAN MSMES: IMPLICATIONS FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aims to assess the contribution of the value chain to the economic growth of commercial Mexican micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in 2023. The research employs a quantitative approach, with a non-experimental, cross-sectional, and correlational-explanatory design. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS 23 software. Results showed that the primary activities of the value chain exhibit deficiencies, limiting their direct relationship with economic growth. A moderate positive correlation was obtained (ρ = 0.474; ρ = 0.102), which was not statistically significant; therefore, the null hypothesis was accepted. It was concluded that these MSMEs’ economic growth depends on factors beyond the value chain, stemming from an empirical implementation of an administrative process, which primarily impacts outbound logistics and operations. Therefore, it is recommended to implement strategies to strengthen primary activities to promote sustainability and business competitiveness. Among the methodological limitations, it is advisable to replicate the study with a cluster of n < 50 to increase representativeness.
