description This research presents some findings from the study “Strategies to Improve the Competitiveness of MSMEs in Ibero-America”, conducted by the Ibero American MSME Observatory and the Alliance of Networks: REUNE-ASCUN, CLADEA, FAEDPYME, and MOTIVA, focusing on the MSME ecosystem in the province of Chaco (Argentina). The research aimed to analyze the perspectives of key stakeholders in Chaco regarding the main obstacles MSMEs face in developing their activities and the key actions needed to enhance their competitiveness. It sought to explore the opinions of different actors involved in the regional MSMEs business ecosystem, such as entrepreneurs, specialized consultants, academic researchers, business association or chamber representatives, and policymakers. An exploratory studywith a qualitative, cross-sectional approach was conducted, collecting primary data through 27 semi-structured interviews carried out between August and September 2023. The interviews revealed that MSMEs in Chaco primarily face macro-level challenges, such as inflation and high interest rates. At the meso level, the main difficulty is finding qualified personnel. Internally, the most significant challenges include generational business succession, low employee qualification levels, and high levels of informality. To improve competitiveness, interviewees suggest reducingtaxes and social security contributions, increasing investment incentives, and simplifying the legal,accounting, and tax framework, as well as facilitating access to information and advisoryservices.

La presente investigación expone algunos hallazgos del estudio “Estrategias para mejorar la competitividad de la MiPyme en Iberoamérica” del Observatorio Iberoamericano de la Mipyme y la Alianza de Redes: REUNE-ASCUN, CLADEA, FAEDPYME y MOTIVA, que se focalizan en el ecosistema MiPyme de la provincia del Chaco (Argentina). El objetivo que guio la investigación fue analizar las perspectivas de los actores clave en Chaco sobre los principales obstáculos a los que se enfrentan las MiPymes a la hora de desarrollar su actividad y las principales acciones a instrumentar para mejorar su competitividad, buscando profundizar cuáles son las opiniones de diferentes actores que participan del ecosistema empresarial MiPyme en la región, como son empresarios, consultores especializados, investigadores académicos, responsables de asociaciones o cámaras empresariales y responsables políticos. Se desarrolló una investigación exploratoria, con enfoque cualitativo de corte transversal, se recolectaron datos primarios a través de 27 entrevistas semiestructuradas en el período agosto-septiembre de 2023. A partir de las entrevistas se identificó que las MiPymes en Chaco enfrentan principalmente retos macro como la inflación y los altos tipos de interés, y a nivel meso, el inconveniente es encontrar personal cualificado. A nivel interno, los desafíos más importantes incluyen la transmisión generacional de la empresa, la baja cualificación del personal y la elevada informalidad. Como oportunidades para mejorar su competitividad, los entrevistados sugieren reducir impuestos y cargas sociales, incrementar ayudas a la inversión y simplificar el marco legal, contable y fiscal, así como facilitar información y asesoramiento.
