Las mujeres emprendedoras propietarias de organizaciones familiares: una aproximación a la teoría feminista. Estudio exploratorio

Abstract

Women have increased their participation in enterprises, occupying managerial or management positions, as creators and directors, especially in family SMEs. In Mexico, according to National Institute of Statistic and Geography (2010), 60% of these small enterprises are led by women. A large part of productivity in this country is based on SMEs, with a contribution of 37% to Gross Domestic Product that makes them a fundamental pillar in national development and also a challenge to research due to its importance.

This delivery is the product of a wider investigation that seeks to identify the internal and external problems of family SMEs, led by women in Sinaloa. The type of research is exploratory. A semi-structured interview was applied to the owner of a family business located in the city of Culiacán, Sinaloa, showing in the results the empirical evidence obtained, whose guiding thread of the analysis was to review how their gender relations are developed in the frame of feminist theory.
