Problemática en la gestión de exportaciones de Colombia hacia el mundo: el caso de tres Mipymes barranquilleras

Resumen

The proposed research had the goal of analyzing the problems of export management from Colombia to the world in the cases of three MSMEs from the city of Barranquilla, in such a way that the factors related to the commercial, logistic and customs processes of the countries can be identified. products that they manufacture that have some incidence in this regard. To this end, a study with a qualitative approach was designed that had two components: the analysis of the literature and the application of interviews among personnel of three MSMEs from Barranquilla. The results made it possible to identify that companies face exogenous challenges such as insufficient public policies for exports, high costs for international logistics operations, little visibility of production outside the hydrocarbon sector and infrastructure with shortcomings. Endogenous challenges include the lack of willingness to join unions with a view to internationalization, little export interest, financial and technological weaknesses and, mainly, the production of goods that are not very competitive internationally. These results show the need to structure much more efficient production processes that respond to the issues involved, for which there must be joint collaboration between the State and MSMEs, the latter being ultimately responsible for their growth.
