MELGAREJO, Zuray  and  SIMON-ELORZ, Katrin. Business performance and business cycle in the colombian food and beverage industry: a non-parametric approach. estud.gerenc. [online]. 2019, vol.35, n.151, pp.190-202. ISSN 0123-5923.  https://doi.org/10.18046/j.estger.2019.151.3162.

In recent years, the emerging countries are presenting rates of growth and business performance above the average with respect to the developed countries. In Colombia, the food and beverages sector, in particular, is one of those that is generating business opportunities, derived from its performance rates. The objective of this paper is to analyze how the indicators of performance, financial structure and solvency of the Colombian food and beverage industry have been developed. To this end, a nonparametric analysis of the data is proposed, segmented based on variables such as economic cycle, size, age or geographical location. The results obtained allow us to draw positive conclusions about the resilience of this industry by size and region.

Keywords : business performance; business cycle; food and beverage industry; Colombia.
