摘要:Despite the existence in the literature of a consensus on the main sources or
effects – country, industry and firm -, most theoretical models of competitiveness do
not agree on both their relative significance and the relations among them. For this
reason, a group of studies emerged at the end of the eighties in order to check the
real influence of each one of such effects. The fact that the vast majority of studies
use samples of big companies and diverse methodologies has lead us to go into this
research line in depth but using a sample of 508 SMEs and two different methodologies:
descriptive, and structural or causal methods. The results show the significance
of the effect company in the performance of the analysed SMEs. This effect almost
doubles its relative significance in the SMEs from the region of Murcia (Spain). On
the other hand, the structural characteristics of the sectors and the economic conditions
(general or sector-specific) give rise to few differences in their performance.
