BUSINESS MINGA: STRATEGIC PRINCIPLE AS SUPPORT OF THE BUSINESS EFFICIENCY THEOREM

Abstract

This article sets out to test the Strategic Business Efficiency Theorem, derived from the Minga Empresarial (ME) model, a phenomenon identified in the COPROBICH company. To achieve this, the analysis employs the microeconomic theory of market efficiency as its foundation. The Minga, a principle of community solidarity applied in the South American Andes, underwent examination within the framework of development research conducted in Chimborazo province. Drawing from this theoretical approach, the study advances a perspective on business competitiveness aimed at enhancing the assets of MIPYMES operating within the four most critical sectors of the local economy. The adopted methodology relies on multivariate analysis using primary data, complemented by a mathematical approach that examines demand elasticity. As a key conclusion, the study finds that the Minga Empresarial (ME) model outperforms traditional market structures, including monopolies and corporate cartels. Additionally, the findings reveal an inverse proportionality between company size and competitiveness within this conceptual framework.

En este artículo se plantea como objetivo probar el Teorema de la Eficiencia Empresarial Estratégica derivado del modelo Minga Empresarial (ME) fenómeno observado en la empresa COPROBICH. Se usa, para este fin, la teoría microeconómica de la eficiencia del mercado. La minga es un principio de solidaridad comunitaria usado en los andes suramericanos que, en este marco, fue estudiada en la investigación del desarrollo realizada en la provincia de Chimborazo. Con esto se presenta una perspectiva de competitividad empresarial que permita mejorar los patrimonios en MIPYMES de los cuatro sectores más importantes. Para esto, se asume como método el análisis multivariante con información primaria y se utiliza el análisis matemático de la elasticidad-demanda. Como conclusión se obtiene que la eficiencia de la ME es superior al monopolio y al cartel corporativo y que, en ese marco conceptual, la relación entre el tamaño de las empresas y la competitividad es inversamente proporcional.
