Spanish abstract El objetivo de este artículo es contribuir para la comprensión del concepto de competitividad en el nivel de empresa y su relación con la productividad. Se conduce una revisión sistemática de la literatura pertinente al tema y, posteriormente fue estructurado un análisis de los elementos encontrados en la literatura por medio del pensamiento sistémico. El pensamiento sistémico permite identificar las relaciones de causa y efecto entre los elementos que accionan la competitividad, evidenciando las convergencias y divergencias entre esos elementos. Se concluyó que la productividad se destacó entre los demás elementos confirmando su importancia en la determinación de la competitividad
English abstract The objective of this article is to contribute to the understanding of the concept of competitiveness at firm level and its relation to productivity. To support the objective of this work, a systematic review of the literature was conducted and was subsequently structured an analysis of the elements found in the literature through systems thinking. Systems thinking enables to identify the cause and effect between the elements of competitiveness, highlighting the convergence and divergence between these elements. It was concluded that productivity stood out among the other elements confirming its importance in determining firm competitiveness. Limitations of this study consists on the theoretical nature, there is the need for an empirical study to verify the practical effect of productivity on competitiveness at the firm level
