Abstract

                                                                         Rev.esc.adm.neg   This research paper describes the behavior of PyMES according to male or female  management. To reach its aim, a quantitative methodology was used and a well-structured survey was applied to 142 managers in Cali. Its outcomes reveal that there are few PyMES directed by women and they have the following features: they have a bigger size; they don ́t have a major female participation in staff, but they have a major participation in the executive board; they have more male shareholders; and their educational level is basically primary and secondary studies. Its most important contribution reveals an aperture of new fields of knowledge in Colombia regarding management and leadership, which specifically haven ́t been widely explored when women are part of the company executive boards.
