Abstract

Quality management is a crucial element for competitiveness and business development in a dynamic business environment. However, previous research indicates that a lack of knowledge in this area limits the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises. In this regard, this article aims to analyze quality management and its influence on the business growth of microenterprises in the meat product sales sector in the city of Cuenca. To this end, it employs a quantitative and descriptive approach to explore the relationship between quality management and business growth through multiple linear correlation analysis. The results underscore that operational controls and performance evaluation, as dimensions of quality management, are determining factors for business growth. Furthermore, continuous improvement and efficient resource management are suggested as key areas for future research and business practices. In conclusion, this study supports the critical relevance of quality management for sustainable economic development in the specific sector, providing a solid foundation for future research and business strategies.
