“…De hecho Muñoz et al (2014) indican que el desempeño empresarial se vio poco o nada influenciado por factores exógenos a la organización pero existe una incidencia moderada entre factores propios de la empresa como indicadores financieros, antigüedad, tamaño y capacidades gerenciales con las ganancias de la compañía. En cambio otros autores (Floros & Voulgaris, 2016;Jasiniak & Pastusiak, 2014;Zeli & Mariani, 2009) sostienen que factores externos como el sector al que pertenece la firma y su competitividad son variables que inciden significativamente en la generación de rentabilidad.…”

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.

“…This suggests that the industry effect contains a significant transitional component and that the structural industries characteristics should not be treated as fixed or exogenously determined [23]. Zeli and Mariani (2009) analysed the determinants of profitability and productivity for large Italian companies operating in industrial sectors and note that companies classified in mature sectors (low-tech) are open to international competition and have low productivity, high profitability and a good financial situation, while those operating in traditional sectors ("Made in Italy") have more problems of profitability and debt ratio with different productivity situations [24]. On the other hand, the results of a study suggest that firm-related effects are the main determinant of profit, while industry and country effects are negligible.…”

The automotive industry is one of the key drivers of economic growth in countries in Central and South-Eastern Europe, with contributions of up to 15% of gross domestic product. At the same time, the automotive industry is at the heart of key transformations: new technologies on the horizon at the verge of the global “green deal”; supply chain uncertainties because of the effects of pandemics in Asia; and unpredictable demand side factors ranging from purchasing power to consumer preferences. These aspects, coupled with large, fixed investments and costly distribution channels, put the industry at the core of (radical) change initiatives. Ahead of these changes, our paper investigated the presence of firm, industry, and country effects on the profitability of firms in the automotive industry in Central, Eastern and South-Eastern European countries, considering different industry definitions and firm size. We found that firm effects are significant for profitability variation across companies, but differ in intensity based on the size of the company, which signals that firm size matters significantly as a driver of operational profitability, as it is converted into sustained competitive advantages. While industry effects bear very little significance for profitability variation in the automotive industry, our most surprising finding was that country effects are important for profitability and have more of an impact for smaller companies. This may be the consequence of “historical” factors that led to large Original Equipment Manufacturers setting up their manufacturing facilities in the region, but also of specific economic policies in the form of state aid addressed to the automotive industry.
