escalado empresarial, pymes, capacidades dinámicas, digitalización, crecimientoResumen
El estudio analiza los factores de impacto que condicionan el escalado empresarial de mipymes latinoamericanas. Mediante codificación temática y estadística descriptiva, se identifican recurrencias, jerarquías explicativas y brechas específicas por país. Los resultados muestran que digitalización, innovación, capacidades dinámicas, financiamiento y modelo de negocio concentran la mayor incidencia, mientras que las restricciones territoriales limitan la conversión del crecimiento en escalabilidad sostenible.
