Abstract: 
El objetivo de esta investigación consiste en caracterizar la capacitación en las empresas lideradas por mujeres y determinar si existe relación con las características de la empresa y la empresaria. Para ello, se aplicó un cuestionario directo estructurado a una muestra de 272 empresarias de la Ciudad de México. Los principales hallazgos del análisis exploratorio realizado muestran que la mayoría de las empresarias consideran importante la capacitación, sin embargo sólo la mitad se han capacitado, siendo el promedio anual de horas de capacitación 45. Además, únicamente una tercera parte ha implementado programas de capacitación para sus empleados y las acciones de capacitación han sido principalmente en áreas operativas o de producción. Se ha encontrado también una relación significativa entre algunas características de las empresas y empresarias y la capacitación.
