Abstract

In this article we analyze and propose a model of the hiring process in micro and small businesses in specialized communities using a game theory approach. The objective is to find mechanisms of operation of the local productive systems that allow to identify beliefs and strategies that establish forms of production that presuppose a communal benefit. The evidence shows that locally organized micro and small businesses constitute a labor market that takes advantage of social capital that helps employers and workers to overcome restrictions, maintain the level of employment and share knowledge that makes entrepreneurship possible; community values ​​together with the knowledge that is shared culturally and productively represent key factors that help strengthen economies in a precarious social context. The reflection produced by this exercise refers to how local agreements help standardize knowledge and skills that define a way of producing locally.
