MAURI, Mayda  y  ROMERO, Idalia. Strategic actions for a sustained leadership of the Cuban biotechnology industry. Biotecnol Apl [online]. 2013, vol.30, n.4, pp. 305-310. ISSN 1027-2852.

This paper offers a vision of the Cuban biotechnology industry (CBI) derived from the conception of its future, as a frame of reference for the transformations and actions of today. Based on prospective analysis, we have defined the fundamental variables having the largest impact on the sector, thus facilitating the identification of key objectives for future actions and decision-making, which will build the future image of Cuban biotechnology. The shared vision of all actors involved in the CBI, who will work together in devising it, is of utmost importance. Together with the State’s strategic priority to the industry and to strengthening the industrial policy for early actions consistent with this vision, this paper devotes a special significance to the updating of the Cuban economic model in agreement with the needs of the CBI. This would facilitate the necessary adjustments of strategic actions when dealing with the challenges in this sector.

Palabras clave : biotechnology industry; vision; strategic prospective; key variables; strategic actions.
