Análisis de los estilos en la toma de decisiones de las pequeñas y medianas empresas (pymes) manufactureras del sector textil de la ciudad de Quito

Abstract

This research paper seeks to determine the decision-making style of the managers of small and medium-sized manufacturing companies in the textile sector of the city of Quito, comparing it with the literature developed by the authors Scott and Bruce (1995) which determine five styles of decision making. For the development of the theoretical framework three themes were taken: the strategy, the strategist and the decision-making styles, in terms of the methodology used, the nature of the research is quantitative, with a descriptive scope, and a design not experimental. The evaluation instrument used is the General Decision Making Style-GDMS, which consists of 25 items grouped into five groups according to each style. Finally, it was determined that the predominant style is Rational-Dependent, however, they are not marked styles since they depend on other factors that influence the decision making of individuals.
