“…Para Yazdanfar et al (2013), el estudio de la antigüedad de la organización en el mercado es importante para el análisis de la rentabilidad, indica que el rendimiento de la empresa cambia sistemáticamente en el transcurso de su permanencia en el mercado, de esta forma, la rentabilidad es alta en los primeros años de creación y a medida que las empresas envejecen y se desarrollan, su rentabilidad disminuye.…”

“…Este estudio contribuye a la literatura, ya que examina cuál es el comportamiento financiero de las microempresas de un país emergente. Habitualmente, los estudios de este tipo se han llevado a cabo en el contexto de Estados Unidos, Malasia, Suecia, Polonia, Uganda, Nigeria, Perú y otros países (Adekunle, 2011;Janda et al, 2013;Muñoz et al, 2014;Rasiah et al, 2014;Schreiner & Woller, 2003;Ssebunya et al, 2019;Yazdanfar et al, 2013;Vargas-Vega et al, 2020).…”

Las microempresas representan un componente significativo para el progreso económico de Ecuador. Esta investigación analiza y compara indicadores financieros como la rentabilidad financiera, el endeudamiento y la liquidez corriente de las microempresas de la provincia del Guayas con las del resto de provincias de Ecuador. El análisis utilizó una metodología cuantitativa de tipo descriptiva de diseño transversal para 13 768 microempresas de la provincia del Guayas y 16 093 microempresas del resto de las provincias de Ecuador que reportaron su información financiera a la Superintendencia de Compañías, Valores y Seguros al año 2019. Para comparar estos grupos se realizó una prueba t para muestras independientes con varianzas desiguales. Los resultados de esta investigación indican que, con un nivel de confianza del 95 %, el promedio de endeudamiento y la liquidez corriente media son mayores en la provincia del Guayas mientras que las microempresas del resto de Ecuador reportan una mejor rentabilidad financiera promedio. A pesar de que la provincia del Guayas tiene el mayor porcentaje de microempresas en el país, no es condición suficiente para concluir que sus indicadores financieros, en promedio, son mejores que los del resto de Ecuador. Esta investigación pretende ser un aporte al desarrollo de líneas de trabajo que contribuyan a la elaboración y diseño de políticas que ayuden a la supervivencia y desempeño empresarial de las microempresas.

“…Regarding the driving themes, it is important to note that decision making is the main theme for analysing business failure. Indeed, some studies [54,[137][138][139] affirmed that corporate governance's correct decision making could avoid financial insolvency scenarios. Case-based reasoning (CBR) is one of the primary methods for predicting business failure; it has great predictive power and a high capacity to explain results [31,118,[140][141][142][143][144] based on clusters that integrate supervised and unsupervised processes to improve information retrieval efficiency.…”

This study aims to provide a bibliometric analysis of business failure research, recognise the main existing research topics and establish future research challenges. The results, based on a sample of 588 articles, show that the number of published papers and citations has grown steadily, especially in the last 14 years. The most productive and relevant journals, countries, institutions and authors are presented using bibliometric performance indicators. In addition, through the graphical mapping of strategic diagrams, this study identifies the most significant research trends and proposes several directions for future research. The results of this research may be helpful for beginner researchers and experts in business failure, as they contribute to bringing clarity to this line of investigation. These results reveal all the aspects involved in business failure research, analysing its temporal and methodological characterisation, and the most prolific authors who have participated in its study (see, i.e., H. Li), leading journals (see, i.e., Expert Systems with Applications) or academic institutions that have headed the scientific analysis of this business phenomenon. Likewise, it has been possible to identify three main areas in which the research on business failure has been focused: business, management and accounting; economics, econometrics and finance; and social sciences. In addition, a complete, synthesised and organised summary of the various definitions, perspectives and research trends are presented.

The natural stone sector is an important driver of the Spanish and Italian economies, which underwent internationalization after the financial crisis of 2008 as part of a survival and development strategy. This article aims to study the financial and economic profitability of this sector in the two leading European production countries, as well as its determinants. For this purpose, the economic-financial data of a sample composed of 453 companies (203 Spanish and 250 Italian) from 2015–2019 were analyzed using the multiple linear regression methodology. To address the problems of possible endogeneity and omission of variables in the model, the dependent variable was used as a regressor with one and two lags, and panel data with fixed effects were considered after performing the Hausman test. The results show significant differences between the two countries, with higher profitability in Italy. Company size, company growth (measured as the change in assets), and the variation in the country’s GDP all positively affected profitability. At the same time, the level of indebtedness showed a negative relationship. The country’s inflation rate and gender diversity in top management were shown to be non-relevant variables. The research conducted indicates that, to increase profitability, Spanish and Italian companies in the natural stone sector should undergo mergers in order to grow in size, increase efficiency in the use of assets, reduce their dependence on external financing, and promote equity capital. In addition, Italian companies should reduce the average period of payment to suppliers to lower deferral costs, and boost exports to become less dependent on the country’s domestic economy.
