Análisis de género en la gestión financiera de las empresas ecuatorianas, CIIU: G46. Periodo 2017- 2023

Abstract

Abstract: This curriculum integration project stems from the question: Is the participation of men and women in management positions related to the financial management of Ecuadorian companies? To this end, information was compiled from Ecuadorian companies belonging to the G46 sector. The findings, obtained through non-experimental, descriptive, documentary research based on verifiable information from reliable sources such as scientific texts, demonstrate that the participation of women in senior executive positions in this sector is low but consistent between the study period of 2017 and 2023. Another interesting finding is related to academic background, where managers without a degree had better financial performance regardless of gender. My purpose in concluding this work is to motivate organizations and leaders in the sector to actively intervene in reducing the gender gap. In this way, we can contribute to a fairer and more equitable business development, leveraging diverse talent to generate multiple benefits through equal opportunities in our social environment.
