Plataformas digitales en la gestión de la comunicación interna para las Pymes de los cantones Latacunga y Salcedo de la provincia de Cotopaxi

Abstract

RESUMEN El estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar las plataformas digitales más efectivas para la gestión de la comunicación interna en las PYMES de los cantones de Latacunga y Salcedo, provincia de Cotopaxi. A través de un diseño cuantitativo y el uso de una encuesta estructurada aplicada a 157 representantes de PYMES, se identificaron las plataformas más utilizadas, se describió la situación actual de la comunicación interna y se examinaron las buenas prácticas y desafíos comunes en su implementación. Los resultados revelaron que herramientas como WhatsApp Business y Microsoft Teams son las más utilizadas debido a su accesibilidad y funcionalidad, mientras que el correo electrónico continúa siendo clave para comunicaciones formales. Sin embargo, plataformas de gestión de proyectos y redes sociales presentan una adopción limitada. Entre las principales deficiencias identificadas se encuentran la falta de capacitación específica, limitaciones presupuestarias y resistencia al cambio, lo que dificulta la plena integración de estas herramientas en los procesos comunicacionales. A pesar de estas barreras, los encuestados reconocen las plataformas digitales como esenciales para mejorar la eficiencia y la toma de decisiones. Este estudio subraya la importancia de una estrategia organizacional que combine capacitación, sensibilización y asignación de recursos para optimizar el uso de tecnologías digitales en la comunicación interna de las PYMES, promoviendo así su competitividad y sostenibilidad en un entorno dinámico. ABSTRACT The study aimed to determine the most effective digital platforms for managing internal communication in SMEs in the cantons of Latacunga and Salcedo, Cotopaxi province. Through a quantitative design and the use of a structured survey applied to 157 SME representatives, the most used platforms were identified, the current situation of internal communication was described, and good practices and common challenges in their implementation were examined. The results revealed that tools such as WhatsApp Business and Microsoft Teams are the most used due to their accessibility and functionality, while email continues to be key for formal communications. However, project management platforms and social networks have limited adoption. Among the main deficiencies identified are the lack of specific training, budgetary constraints, and resistance to change, which makes it difficult to fully integrate these tools into communication processes. Despite these barriers, respondents recognize digital platforms as essential to improve efficiency and decision-making. This study highlights the importance of an organizational strategy that combines training, awareness-raising and resource allocation to optimize the use of digital technologies in the internal communication of SMEs, thus promoting their competitiveness and sustainability in a dynamic environment.
