“…The phenomenon of corruption is heterogeneous and considerable in the departments of all the natural regions and in the macro-regions. Although it is not imperative, economic development is part of human development, it also precedes demographic concentration (Aldeanueva Fernández and Cervantes Rosas, 2019 ; Seminario and Palomino, 2021 ); although it is not possible to affirm the same regarding corruption.…”

Political doctrines determine the formation of territorial units or geopolitical models more adequate to generate public value in subnational organizations, with positive results in the HDI, productivity indicators and national competitiveness oriented to improve the quality of public service for citizens who participate in democratic electoral processes with identity and that promote a decentralized State that does not generate development obstacles as an effect of geographical limits by departments and regional governments with inequalities in natural resources and comparative advantages, but that projects integration, better economic performance, sustainability, and sustainability for regional and national development and as an alternative to achieve political stability in Peru. The aim of this article is to explore whether the contribution of natural regions and macro-regions to sustainable development is unequal. Information from official web pages. The disparity index, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's analysis were used. The GDP per capita of the coastal departments is 64% higher than that of the Andes and 136% higher than those of the Amazon; the HDI of the coast exceeds those regions by 31 and 19%; 44% of the urban population residing in marginal neighborhoods are on the coast, 67% in the Andes and 69% in the Amazon. The percentage of corruption is highest on the coast, followed by the Amazon. At the regional macro level, the primacy in GDP per capita and the HDI moves to the south, although the superiority of the corruption index persists in the center, followed by the south; both significantly higher than the east and north. This fact would reveal the possibility of a regional macro development without Lima and through axes of various development nodes, feasible in the era of globalization.

“…Then, these research results show that SMEs must continue developing and integrating sustainability strategies and domains (social, economic and environmental) in their primary operations to improve their competitiveness. In agreement with this, Aldeanueva Fernández and Cervantes Rosas (2019) investigated CSR as an approach for long-term value to stakeholders, meaning that the degree of success of a company’s strategy entails taking advantage of opportunities and minimizing these risks. These insights also agree with Tomšič (2015), who emphasized the need to balance the sustainability dimensions (social, economic and environmental) to succeed in highly competitive markets and the impact measurement of this on the economic indicators of firms.…”

“…While sustainable development is imperative at a corporate level, some argue that SMEs do not seem to pay enough attention to sustainability, mainly due to ignorance or isolated actions that do not positively impact the environment (Aldeanueva Fernández and Cervantes Rosas, 2019). It seems that the SMEs’ main challenges include achieving business development, facing the risk of potential competitors entering the market, rivalry intensity between established firms within an enterprise, bargaining power of buyers and suppliers and proximity of substitutes for an industry’s products.…”

Purpose Recently, researchers have shown an increased interest in sustainable development. Indeed, national and international governments call for urgent transformations into sustainable development, where firms are affected and affecting this situation. However, recent evidence has shown that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) present low interest, commitment and maturation levels on sustainability; they seem to neglect and question the actual impact of transforming sustainability as a priority in their operations. Thus, this paper aims to measure the impact of sustainability on competitiveness in SMEs. Design/methodology/approach This is empirical research on sustainability and competitiveness in SMEs with a quantitative approach through structural equation modeling. Three hundred twenty-five surveys were applied to SMEs’ manufacturing, construction, trade and services, operating in Mexico. Before measuring variables’ multiple correlations, tests were carried out to establish the validity and reliability of the model. The data collection, validation and analysis were carried out with statistical package for social sciences and analysis of moment structures. Findings The results indicate a significant positive effect of SMEs’ sustainability on competitiveness. The adjusted measurement model shows validity and reliability through the various tests applied. Thus, firms should not view sustainability as detrimental to their competitiveness. Originality/value Because firms are crucial in the urgent sustainability transformation, recent research has shown their low commitment and maturation to sustainability. This research’s originality empirically measures and demonstrates sustainability’s impact on SMEs’ competitiveness. Therefore, empirically testing this impact becomes essential and original to provide better insights into SMEs’ needs to be uncovered, prioritied and done in their specific and evolving contexts.

“…In the economic literature, there has been an increasing emphasis on the fundamental role of Micro, Small, and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs), particularly since the 1980s (Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit-Comisión Económica para América Latina-Centro Regional de Promoción de la MIPYME [GTZ-CEPAL-CENPROMYPE], 2009; García-Martinez et al, 2023;Habibi et al, 2023). These enterprises are recognized for their contribution to employment and as drivers of economic growth and development, both locally and regionally (Romero Luna, 2006;Chauca Malásquez, 2014;Aldeanueva Fernández & Cervantes Rosas, 2019;Franco-Ángel & Urbano, 2019).…”

Purpose: This study aimed to characterize the performance of Colombian Micro, Small, and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs) in recent years, along with the legal framework and central public policies governing and promoting this business segment. In addition, it sought to design, validate, and implement a dynamic system of productivity indicators to help these companies improve their efficiency and competitiveness in the short, medium, and long terms. MSMEs represent approximately 99% of the business sector in Colombia, accounting for nearly 80% of national employment. Design/Methodology: In the initial descriptive–analytical phase, using secondary sources, an analysis was conducted on the performance and current situation of Colombian MSMEs, as well as the main legal provisions regulating and contributing to their development. The subsequent phase (of an applied nature) involved estimating and validating a dynamic system of productivity indicators using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Malmquist indexes for 2 samples of SMEs. Findings: After conducting the DEA, a significant decrease was observed in the productivity of the MSMEs, particularly in terms of technical efficiency in both the Constant Returns to Scale (CRS) and Variable Returns to Scale (VRS) models. This means that, evaluated both under the CRS and VRS modes, these enterprises use more inputs than necessary for the amount of goods produced. In addition, the Malmquist indexes showed that, during the period under analysis, technical efficiency related to changes in innovation exhibited a positive behavior, attributed to the incorporation of technological changes for improving their productivity. Conclusions: Despite the development of public initiatives and institutional support in recent decades, Colombian SMEs still face adverse conditions that affect their competitiveness and limit their potential in the national economy. The proposed system of indicators, which is based on DEA techniques and Malmquist indexes, holds promise in helping these businesses to improve their productivity. Originality: This study makes a significant contribution to the fields of economics and business management in the region by providing a critical and updated evaluation of the efficiency of MSMEs in Colombia. Additionally, it examines their performance and current situation and summarizes the main legal provisions regulating and contributing to their development in the country.
