Abstract
Purpose: Analyze what strategies have been implemented by entrepreneurs in the tanning sector in León, Guanajuato in the face of COVID-19, to know how they have survived the health and economic crisis in 2020.
Methodological design: it is a descriptive study, in which the economic deterioration caused by the global health problem is captured by applying a survey to the economic actors in this industry. As well as interviews with the Director and the Human Resources Coordinator of the Chamber of the tannery industry (CICUR).
Results: these show the multiple economic effects that translate into a decrease in production and loss of jobs with high uncertainty for the reopening, as well as the strategies that businessmen in the sector have implemented.
Limitations: Although face-to-face interaction with the actors in the production process is essential, due to the health contingency we had to go together with the CICUR to the virtual platforms for the application of the survey. This instrument was designed as a team by the CICUR and the researchers, the latter being in charge of analyzing the results and issuing a report on them.
Findings: Faced with the crisis derived from COVID-19, businessmen in the tannery industry in León, Guanajuato, have implemented survival strategies to maintain production. Likewise, both local governments and local productive actors have implemented strategies aimed at strengthening local economic dynamics.
