Feasibility Study of the Application of Proposals for the Implementation of Compliance in the Low-Quantity Process in Public Procurement in Ecuador Using Plithogenic SWOT Analysis

Abstract

Compliance is a concept that means that the organization conforms to the legal regulations in force in the country where it is located. This avoids additional expenses on the part of the company and economic losses due to non-compliance with the regulatory legal framework. In the case of the low-value process in public purchases in Ecuador, it is necessary to take this aspect into account, especially in the anti-corruption fight that is currently being carried out worldwide. To study the positive and negative factors that influence the application of compliance in Ecuadorian public purchases, we use the plithogenic SWOT analysis. The SWOT analysis studies the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats to carry out a project. The hybridization with the plithogenic theory allows us to analyze the data taking into account the complexity and dynamics of the scenarios studied.
