Entrepreneurial Characteristics of Entrepreneurs Associated with Quality Management of Smes in the Huaycán Industrial State, Lima

Abstract

Throughout history, success in entrepreneurship has not been determined by the country, the political context, or crises but by the willingness of people to dare to undertake with a different mentality. The ability to face daily challenges lies in possessing personal entrepreneurial skills. Although the current pace of life and uncertainty can affect the management capacity of entrepreneurs, those who have a clear vision and apply their skills can achieve success, thus contributing to the country's development. The study analyzes the entrepreneurial characteristics of entrepreneurs and their relationship with quality management in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) of the Huaycán Industrial State, Lima, using a reliable bibliographic review. The type of study was descriptive correlational with a sample of 91 business people that revealed a strong positive relationship (r = 8.071, r = 13.778, r = 13.998, and R2 = 0.489). These findings provide a solid basis for developing strategies and policies to strengthen entrepreneurial management and quality in SMEs, thus contributing to the sustainable growth and competitiveness of the business sector in the region.    Received: 7 February 2024 / Accepted: 21 June 2024 / Published: 5 July 2024
