SMEs in the industrial sector of the city of Bogota, an analysis based on evidence-based organizational management - GBE

Abstract

The management of organizations in Colombia over the years from the analysis of the results in small and medium-sized companies shows little progress in practice, so that before there is growth and business sustainability, the statistics and the economic condition of the country show that it is not the best; therefore, from a management model perspective, they do not have a clear basis for the processes. The current situation of small and medium-sized companies reflects this condition, and it has been observed in recent years that they are going deeper into crisis situations generated internally by the business organizations and by external factors, especially by the changes in the economic and political environment at the international level. This article deals with evidence-based management (EBM), a model that promotes evidence-based decision making, i.e. based on knowledge, and the effectiveness of such decisions, according to the theory, depends on two fundamental variables, a large amount of evidence based on scientific knowledge and a small amount of evidence based on knowledge acquired through experience in management positions in companies. The article discusses theoretical aspects applied over time, which is the reflection of the results, and finally the need to approach the management of organizations from the perspective of evidence-based management is raised.
