Abstract: Competitiveness is getting increased attention, because it is the ability to obtain success against other organizations with profits above the market average. This paper presents a comparative analysis of factors influencing the competitiveness of SMEs in the states of Colima, Durango and Veracruz in Mexico. To achieve the goal, researches that have studied the factors were identified, both conceptually and empirically and have applied the same methodology. The results show four decisive factors in the level of competitiveness of companies: human resources, innovation, information and communication technologies and financial and accounting aspects. The authors conclude that, for a better analysis of the competitiveness factors it is necessary to include both quantitative and qualitative aspects.
