Resumen

La gestión de marca es uno de los temas de la literatura del marketing que está ganando cada vez más adeptos, ya que investigadores y académicos están orientando sus trabajos a demostrar que una adecuada gestión de marca permite a las empresas de servicios generar una marca fuerte; este es uno de los principales objetivos de las empresas de servicios. Así, a través de una muestra de 300 pymes de servicios y empleando el modelo de ecuaciones estructurales, el objetivo esencial de este trabajo fue analizar y discutir la gestión de marca en las pymes de servicios. Los resultados obtenidos indican que los valores, normas, símbolos y comportamientos son indicadores pertinentes para la medición de la gestión de marca de los servicios.
