Propuesta de un modelo de gestión administrativo-financiero para el almacén agropecuario San Antonio ubicada en la provincia de Cañar período 2021-2023

Abstract

The San Antonio Farming store needs to improve its economic performance due to the absence of guiding documents to address potential issues. Therefore, this research proposed an administrative-financial management model for the San Antonio farming store in the Cañar Province during 2021-2022, to increase its economic returns. The methodology combined qualitative and quantitative approaches by following documentary, field, and descriptive research methods. The study population comprised five individuals, including one manager and four employees. Analytical and deductive methods were implemented, along with techniques and instruments such as interviews with the store's owner-manager and surveys addressed to other workers. This methodology determined that the store needs an administrative and financial model to guide employees towards achieving objectives. An organizational and functional structure shortage also leads to operational confusion, inadequate cost and expense control, customer loss, decreased sales, lack of liquidity to meet short-term obligations, and excessive leverage. Based on the research findings, it is concluded that the improper execution and structuring of administrative and financial processes have hindered the effective generation of profits. Expenses escalate hastily, necessitating the proposal of an administrative-financial management model that, through monitoring and control, will enhance the performance of the San Antonio farming store in its different processes.
