The current article constitutes a sociological approach to a topic of increasing importance for Cuban society: the transnational practices of Cuban emigrants in the private sector, that every day has a greater presence in social and economic reality of the society. This article resumes the results of a case study that attempt to explain how the transnational practices of Cuban emigrants, from the remittance, in money, material and cultural goods have a fundamental impact on the conception, creation and development of micro enterprises, specifically in the bar-restaurant modalities, rent house in CUC and coffee shops in the Historic Center of Havana. From the results obtained it was possible to confirm the presence of transnational practices of these, either in cases in which the owner is the emigrant -because it presents migratory status in other nations and this is the main issuer of remittances- or in cases where the owner received remittances from networks of family and friends.

Palabras clave : private enterprises; migration; transnational practices; remittances; transnationalism.
