The absence of administrative management in smes in Mexico, a reality that prevents them from growing

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine the current state of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Mexico regarding the application of administrative management in their processes. It is essential to highlight that the efficient use of a company's resources is facilitated by the application of administrative management, which encompasses the functions of planning, organizing, directing, and controlling through specific actions. It is important to note that small (including micro-enterprises) and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) contribute to 52% of Mexico's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and 72% of employment. A descriptive investigation was conducted, analyzing various national and state studies published within the past six years, ensuring their reliability through institutions and organizations that issued them. The study compares the results of these sources to assess whether administrative management is being applied within SMEs or if its lack continues to hinder their growth.
