Abstract

Product diversification has become a key strategy for developing the competitiveness of MSMEs in Jipijapa, as it generates new employment opportunities and stimulates the local economy, shaping the market through factors such as innovation, planning, and sustainability. This study employed a mixed-methods approach (qualitative and quantitative) using a non-experimental, cross-sectional design and a sample of 450 MSMEs. The results indicate that the majority of micro-entrepreneurs hold a positive view of diversification: 92% state that they do not rely on a single product, and 88% report that diversification reduces economic risks. Furthermore, 96% consider innovation essential for successful diversification, while 86% emphasize the importance of having a sound strategy. Additionally, 90% affirm that diversification enhances business competitiveness. Overall, the study concludes that diversification is a vital tool for growth and market survival, although its success depends on effective planning, constant innovation, and strengthening the business.
