ANCASI, Victoria  y  AQUINO, César G.. Strategic Foresight and Its Influence on the Competitiveness of Micro and Small Enterprises Processing Andean-Based Food Products. Espacios [online]. 2026, vol.47, n.1, pp.66-79.  Epub 28-Feb-2026. ISSN 0798-1015.  https://doi.org/10.48082/espacios-a26v47n01i06.

The study assessed how strategic foresight influences the competitiveness of Andean food-processing firms. SWOT, PESTEL, the Schwartz scenario matrix, a relevance tree, and Spearman’s correlation were applied. Perceptions were collected from 66 executives. Findings showed strong market knowledge and recognition of public-sector opportunities, alongside concern about political instability and a shift toward eco-friendly products. Strategic foresight was positively associated with competitiveness and organizational situational status; therefore, greater emphasis on managerial strengthening and regulatory compliance was recommended.

Palabras clave : strategic foresight; competitiveness; micro and small enterprise; food processor; andean food products.
