Methodological proposals in the construction of problem areas since the life cycle of the firms and the industrial growth of the msmes

Abstract

Firms are contextualized in some territory according to their productive rearrangement, the industrial settings and their location; those firms are key agents in the market and the axis of policies and institutionality, distinguished for some internal features affecting directly their decisions, just as its spatial distribution. The main goal pursued with this research paper is to analyze a selection of indicators and basic variables from which an interpretation of the enterprises’ origin in productive sectors and regions is posed, and also offering a theoretical, thematic and methodological frame around the study of industrial sectors and of regions adorning to its peculiarities and structural heterogeneousness. The idea is to show the relationship between the entrepreneurial logic, the social relationships and the territory, regarded since their location in the space, their life-cycle, and their industrial arrangement. Firms in territory show interrelations since the economic geography; in the quest of alternatives to the conception of development as economic growth, a change of mind is imposed, in which territorial aspects and entrepreneurial management acquire every time more importance.
