These works have studied the development, growth, and mortality of SMEs in a few countries in the region (Carroll & Delacroix, 1982;Swaminathan, 1996), the relations between the context and the entrepreneurial activity (Dana, 1988;Dana, 1997), the factors limiting the activity of small firms in countries like Honduras, Ecuador, and Mexico (Busch, 1989;West, Bamford, & Marsden, 2008;Young & Welsch, 1993;Yu-Way & Zuniga, 1987), or the development of export-related competitive advantages in Argentina, Chile, and Colombia (Milesi, Moori, Robert, & Yoguel, 2007).…”

“…Latin America, comprising Mexico and countries from Central and South America, is home to about 540 million people.
