This work analyzes the development of quality management and innovation in family enterprises in Ecuador. Descriptive statistics and nonparametric contrasts are used due to the ordinal nature of the variables to be studied. The sample consisted of 42 family enterprises from Ecuador surveyed in 2017. To determine the total quality implemented in the company, the following variables were used: leadership, alliances, processes and continuous improvement. For innovation, questions were asked about the changes in products, processes or services carried out in the last two years. The results obtained show that the companies surveyed have a similar level of quality in terms of their level of innovation, which is why they must develop other types of strategies that consolidate their position in the market and guarantee their sustainability.
