Abstract

This article explores the possible causes of the heterogeneity observed in the productivity of Spanish companies, looking for a link between management capacity and business size in the context of Spanish companies. The results indicate that there is a positive and direct relationship between quality management and company size. This quality management measured through different indicators (education level, competences and professional skills and the level of implementation of advanced management practices) is also related to the type of management, as well as the strategic direction of the company, which together also affect its size. Therefore, improving the quality management, moving towards professionalism, will enable companies to design strategies and structures to facilitate their adaptation to the business environment, and thus, achieve improvements in results.
