Resumen
Las micro y pequeñas empresas enfrentan condiciones de vulnerabilidad que limitan su capacidad de recuperación y crecimiento, por lo que resulta relevante identificar los factores que favorecen su reactivación económica. En este contexto, el estudio analiza el papel de la calidad del servicio como predictor del desempeño empresarial y examina si su efecto varía según el tamaño de la unidad productiva. Mediante un enfoque cuantitativo y un modelo explicativo-predictivo, los resultados evidencian una relación positiva entre la calidad del servicio y la reactivación económica, así como diferencias entre micro y pequeñas empresas. Los hallazgos sugieren que la disponibilidad de recursos complementarios condiciona la capacidad de transformar los activos intangibles en mejores resultados económicos.
