Diseño y validación de una herramienta para medir el desempeño en redes colaborativas de pymes productoras de leche en el territorio ecuatoriano

Abstract

The present work aims to design and validate a tool to measure the performance in collaborative networks of milk producing SMEs in the Ecuadorian territory, for this, three specific objectives were proposed that seek to define the variables that intervene in the collaborative performance of SMEs within networks of the milk producer sector, likewise, design a tool that allows the correct measurement of collaborative performance for its subsequent validation, for this, the work was divided into 3 stages. Stage 1 will correspond to the review of the literature that will reflect the main theories that will form the basis of the performance measurement system (SMD), in addition, variables, strategic objectives and indicators will be determined conceptually. Stage 2 will proceed with exploratory research that will show the main tools and characteristics of the dairy sector in addition to the main aspects to be measured. In this sense, the SMD will be designed by integrating the concepts obtained. Finally, in stage 3, the SMD will be validated with experts from the dairy networks in Pichincha who, through a structured questionnaire, will provide feedback on the SMD that will generate a validated tool for its subsequent implementation.
