Abstract

The aim of this article is to analyze the financial-economic situation by sizes of Spanish firms. The results show that, not only the small size firms, but also the medium size firms, find more difficulties in their production organization than large firms. In fact, their human resources are less skilled, they need to retain, proportionally, more stocks and, finally, the cash management is highly conditioned by their financial restrictions. However, this circumstance does not influence the medium size firms profitability since they are, generally, the more profitable. Nevertheless, a homogeneous valuation of the unpaid costs would alter the profitability indexes, in favor of the large firms. El artículo analiza la situación económico-financiera de las empresas españolas por tamaños. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que las micro empresas y las PYMES cuentan con un margen de maniobra mas estrecho para organizar su producción. De hecho, sus recursos humanos se hallan menos formados, deben conservar proporcionalmente más existencias en almacén y la gestión de su tesorería esta condicionada por sus restricciones financieras. Esta circunstancia no parece influir en la rentabilidad de las PYMES, que aparecen como las empresas más rentables. No obstante, una valoración homogénea de los costes no pagados podría alterar los indices de rentabilidad, en favor de las grandes empresas.
