A partir de las bases teóricas del Enfoque Basado en Recursos, se aborda metodológicamente la medición de la competitividad empresarial del grupo de empresas en estudio a través de un índice compuesto por diez pilares, según lo propuesto por Lafuente, Leiva, Moreno y Szerb (2019b). Estos pilares se encuentran interconectados y conftguran la competitividad empresarial de las pymes. Para estimar su eftciencia, se realiza un modelo de análisis envolvente de datos (DEA por sus siglas en inglés), con especiftcación de un input y un output. Los resultados de la investigación indican que las empresas agrupadas en los sectores de manufactura y servicios muestran los índices de competitividad y eftciencia mayores, lo que es explicado por los pilares de innovación de productos y redes de negocios; mientras que los pilares menos priorizados son internacionalización, mercado interno y recursos humanos. Se concluye que el índice de competitividad es una herramienta que favorecería la toma de decisiones empresariales, pues contribuiría con en el diseño de estrategias empresariales orientadas hacia una conftguración más homogénea en la asignación de recursos y capacidades.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract This article evaluates the competitive efficiency of 67 Costa Rican small and medium-sized businesses for 2017. Building on the resource-based view postulates, the proposed competitiveness index is based on the methodology developed by Lafuente, Leiva, Moreno and Szerb (2019b) in which ten interconnected competitive pillars shape business competitiveness. By employing a non-parametric model (Data Envelopment Analysis, DEA) with a single constant input and one output (competitiveness index) the results of the empirical application reveal that, on average, the analyzed Costa Rican SMEs can improve their competitive efficiency by 54.45%. Additionally, the ftndings indicate that businesses in manufacturing and service sectors present the highest competitive efficiency levels, which is explained by the pillars linked to product innovation and business networks. The proposed competitiveness index is a valuable tool that can support businesses&#8217; decision-making processes as well as the design of speciftc strategies that contribute to improving resource allocation processes and the conftguration of competitive pillars at business level.]]></p></abstract>
