Abstract

Since the advent of the internet, online sales began to grow significantly, going from being a mechanism used by large company accounts, to being a fundamental tool for multiple businesses. In the present work, the role of online sales of mass consumption products in the growth of MSMEs on Calle Chile in the city of Portoviejo, Ecuador, was analyzed. The importance of this type of analysis lies in knowing if as a result of the pandemic changes began in this type of business, which, unlike the commercial dynamics in other sectors such as gastronomy or the trade of technologies, had not had the same process of commercial digitalization. Therefore, using questionnaires, we sought to determine if some aspects such as digital infrastructure, online sales, public development, among others, influenced the growth of these through the relationship with total sales. It was found that, unlike other studies, online sales do not represent an influential factor in the growth of the MSMEs analyzed.
