Abstract

MIRANDA-TORTOLO, Taymer et al. Entrepreneur behavior as individual and organizational competence in a territory of Matanzas province. Pastos y Forrajes [online]. 2021, vol.44, e27.  Epub Dec 16, 2021. ISSN 0864-0394.

Objective:

To evaluate the entrepreneur behavior of people and organizations in the Perico municipality, of Matanzas province, Cuba.

Materials and Methods:

Qualitative methods of descriptive type were used, mainly. Inquiries were made, through surveys with focal groups, about the initiatives implemented by the local administration to improve their functions and the provision of public services. Questions were also asked, about the entrepreneur vocation of people and local institutions, and the quantity and type of entrepreneurial initiatives developed.

Results:

The promotion of local productive and innovative arrangements and systems, such as the Management Multi-Actor Platform and the biodigester construction brigade, was observed at institutional level. The entrepreneurial sector recorded a limited capacity of generation of economic-productive activities. It was observed, particularly, that in the management process of the enterprises no incentives are offered that promote entrepreneurial activities inside them. When studying the entrepreneurial capacity index, the People’s Council 2 reported 15 activities for every 1 000 inhabitants between 17 and 65 years old, although they were, mostly, little knowledge-intensive. When exploring the personal abilities and motivations for the achievement of an entrepreneurship, tenacity and solidarity were indicated as acceptable and adequate elements in all the People’s Councils.

Conclusions:

The entrepreneur vocation in the municipality is limited. The initiatives implemented from the local administration show the existing potential at this level. Tenacity and solidarity constitute the determinant attributes of the entrepreneur behavior of people.

Keywords : economic competence; community development; management.
