Abstract

Introduction: This study critically examines the management of organizational human capital, focusing on the cognitive constructs and practical skills that shape distinctive capabilities in owner-managers of food manufacturing SMEs in Los Mochis, Sinaloa. Methodology: The investigation is based on a positivist paradigm using a quantitative design, operationalizing Hunter's global competency model through its matrix instrument of 26 indicators stratified into four interrelated domains: cognitive capital, operational skills, attitudinal dispositions, and experiential praxis. This contextually adapted methodological framework was implemented in a stratified sample of 37 local business units. Results: The results showed that the global competencies that prevail among the respondents are the ability to communicate effectively across cultural and linguistic boundaries, as well as the ability to work in environments other than their country of origin. In addition, the ability to be aware of economic, political, and social change taking place in the world was found, as well as knowledge of global organizations and commercial activities carried out by their country with the rest of the world. Conclusions: These two dimensions, skills and knowledge, organized the strengths needed to become globally competent.
