Abstract

The Foundation of the National Association of Private Enterprises of Colombia (Fundación de la Asociación Nacional de Empresas Privadas de Colombia ANDI) has an intervention methodology called HUB of alliances for Inclusive Competitiveness aimed at linking the supply of rural productive organizations with the demand of consolidated companies. This article aims to study the contribution of this methodology to the organizational capabilities of two rural businesses. We designed a capability evaluation instrument based on national and international references. We conclude that the intervention through this methodology, although not designed for this purpose, did contribute to the development of organizational capabilities in the cases analyzed. In the future, it is advisable to replicate this exercise in other associations intervened by the ANDI Foundation.
