The article provides a theoretical approach to the structuring of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), focusing on the key elements that influence their organizational design and long-term success.

Likewise, the internal elements of structuring are explored, including defining the mission, vision, and values of the company, as well as developing an efficient organizational structure. Different structuring approaches, such as functional, matrix, and team-based structures, are discussed, highlighting the advantages and challenges associated with each. In addition, the role of leadership in the structuring of SMEs is addressed, and the necessary skills and competencies to successfully lead these constantly changing organizations are examined. Finally, the importance of flexibility and adaptability in the structuring of SMEs is emphasized, as these elements enable them to respond agilely to the challenges and opportunities of the business environment. In conclusion, this theoretical journey through the structuring of SMEs highlights the importance of a strategic and adaptive approach to achieve their sustainable development and competitiveness in the market. The article provides a useful conceptual framework for researchers, entrepreneurs, and managers interested in understanding and improving the organizational structure of SMEs.
