Abstract
Agribusiness companies, regardless of their size or origin, continually face highly competitive markets, whose resources and capabilities become an important source for the development of competitive advantages. In the present investigation, a group of medium and large companies in the agro-industrial sector is studied. The implemented methodological design is quantitative, non-experimental and cross-sectional, as well as correlational-causal. A survey composed of 13 items measured on a Likert scale was applied. The initial population was 169 companies and the final convenience sample was 37 agro-industrial companies in the province of El Oro. The variables used were: dynamic sensing (SEN) - zeising (SEI) capacities and financial profitability, which were applied the Shapiro-Wilk statistical test to determine its distribution normality and the T-Student test to contrast the hypotheses and compare their means. Our findings show that the variable (SEN) behaves normally in both large and medium-sized companies, while the variable (SEI) behaves normally only in medium-sized companies, which indicates that those entities that manage to adapt to change and be assertive , achieve greater long-term sustainability and financial performance. It was shown that medium-sized agro-industrial companies are the most benefited, because they apply the SEN and SEI dimensions within their processes, achieving greater competitive advantages and facilitating their adaptability to change.
