Econometric and statistical analysis of the sustainability assessment model for cocoa SMES in Ecuador
Abstract
The importance of corporate sustainability is currently highlighted even more in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which are a fundamental, dynamic and integrating component of a country's productive structure. The objective of the research was to analyze the model of indicator systems to evaluate the sustainability of cocoa SMEs in Ecuador and their interrelationships. A quantitative approach study with a descriptive and causal scope was carried out, considering 18 criteria and 32 indicators that make up the model. The statistical technique of principal component analysis was used to test the research. Logical results are presented that help to explain and understand the way in which the criteria generated in the system of indicators analyzed are related in order to strengthen the achievement of sustainability of SMEs producing Theobroma cacao in Ecuador.
