A través de algunas técnicas de análisis multivariante, particularmente los análisis de conglomerados y discriminante, se estudian 174 microempresas marginadas en el giro de alimentos y bebidas en la zona fronteriza de Baja California, a fin de determinar las características que rigen las decisiones propias de su funcionamiento. Los resultados muestran comportamientos diferenciados de los microempresarios de acuerdo con su edad, condición familiar, educación y zona geográficas de procedencia. Sin embargo, sobresale la relevancia de la educación como determinante de la calidad de la gestión de la empresa y a su vez como una señal en el entorno que atrae la confianza tanto de los proveedores como clientes. Por otro lado se hace patente que el financiamiento, bajo ciertas circunstancias, podría ayudar a mejorar la eficiencia de muchas de estas microempresas.
