Item Análisis del transporte de mercancías colombiano y otros limitantes que afectan la internacionalización de las pymes(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2023) Munera Arenas, Juan Camilo; Marquez Bonilla, Juan Pablo; Ramos Guevara, Marvin Santiago; Alicia Diaz, CarmenThe article highlights the importance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the economic and social growth of the country. In Colombia, where land transport is the most widely used means of transporting goods, dependence on land transport can have a significant impact on the competitiveness of companies. In addition, the lack of multimodal transport options can limit the ability of companies to diversify their markets and expand their geographical reach. Chile, on the other hand, has a better-developed logistics and transport infrastructure than Colombia, allowing Chilean companies to have greater export capacity and international competitiveness. In general terms, SMEs represent 99.5% of all companies in Latin America, generate 61% of formal employment, but only contribute 30% of the region's GDP. To help SMEs access international markets and improve their competitiveness, the importance of developing business skills and innovation is highlighted, as well as implementing good practices in their operations.
