Abstract

This research work analyzed the influence between the number of collaborators of a Micro and Small Enterprise (MSE) and the number of strategies. An analysis of covariance regression model (ANCOVA) was employed to study the dependence between the variables in two periods; Forty-one case studies from different companies were considered, identifying the number of collaborators and the strategies they have implemented. A linear Pearson correlation was performed between the variables No. of collaborators and No. of strategies, where a strong and positive correlation of 71.16% was presented for the entire period, it was observed that the relationship between both variables was high. The results of the ANCOVA econometric model suggest that, according to the estimated value of the dependent parameter  for each increase in the number of collaborators corresponding to a unit, it is expected that on average the number of strategies of the MSES will increase by 0.3291, this incremental effect it is independent of the period in which it is observed and, since it is positive, it confirms the positive dependence of the strategies based on the number of collaborators. The results of the proposal allow estimating the number of strategies that it is recommended to implement based on the number of collaborators that integrate it, the above is essential to determine the resources that are required.
