Diseño de estrategias para el mejoramiento de la gestión financiera de la empresa SETROC S.A.S: un estudio de caso

Abstract

The objective of this degree work is to design strategies for the improvement of the financial management of the company SETROC S.A.S. The information from the company's balance sheet and the COMPITE 360 platform were analyzed to calculate the financial indicators of liquidity, activity, indebtedness and profitability for the period 2014 to 2018. Subsequently, they were compared with those presented by other companies in the sector registered in the Chamber of Commerce of Bucaramanga through Principal Components Analysis (ACP). It was observed that the behavior of the company's financial indicators do not present a trend and are lower than those presented by competing companies, evidencing the lack of annual projection and improvement plans of the organization. Based on the foregoing, it is proposed as a strategy that SETROC S.A.S implement the methodology used in this degree project to identify short-term improvements, make decisions and project results. In this case and for the period of time studied, it is recommended to improve operating margins by penetrating new markets or customer segments through a marketing plan that helps increase sales and recognition in the sector, seek strategic alliances, diversify services and implement new complementary business activities that are relevant to the construction industry.
