Introduction: Technological advances and the growth of innovation have led companies to search for tools that allow them to be more competitive and efficient in decision-making, a process that is supported on among other, by technological surveillance and competitive intelligence, in such a way that it generates an excellent strategic direction. Objective: consists on carrying out an analysis of the employment of the technological surveillance and strategic intelligence as tool for the taking of decisions in companies of the agricultural sector of Pinar del Río. Materials and Methods: the descriptive exploratory method was used with an applied structured survey in a direct way and, to identify the process of taking of decisions it was used scales Likert with three answer options. The Alpha of Cronbach was calculated to determine the reliability of the survey and the coefficient of correlation of Pearson to establish the relationship among the used variables. Results and Discusion: was a direct relationship among the used variables, intends strategic actions guided to carry out a bigger use of the tools, to increase the innovative capacities, to achieve a bigger efficiency and with it to diminish the level of uncertainty and risks. Conclusions: The companies that apply the tools achieve advantages adapting with more easiness to the changes of the environment, they improve their strategic planning and they negotiate projects.

According to the Theory of the Total Economic Value of the Ecosystem, the techniques of economic-environmental valuation allow us to identify the main environmental functions that are directly or indirectly reflected in the market, which makes them one of the most widely used techniques for the economic valuation of the environment. This research was carried out with the aim of estimating the environmental costs and benefits generated in a dairy agro-ecosystem and with the application of economic -environmental valuation methods. To this end, the general functions of support or load, joint production, habitat and regulation at the end of 2018 were studied, applying the dialectical-materialistic method, as the guiding method of the research, in addition to empirical methods based on scientific observation and documentary analysis and the measurement method to describe and analyze the behavior of the functions studied. For the economic-environmental valuation analyses, items such as gross benefit, direct costs and avoided costs were calculated. It was found that the goods and services existing in the dairy ecosystem contribute to the total economic value a very favorable economic benefit, which is supported by a correct management of them, standing out in the contributions made by the functions of joint production, support or load and habitat. The integral analysis of the functions that make up the total economic value of any livestock ecosystem offers the possibility of deepening its efficient management and what this activity contributes in a sustainable manner in Cuba.

The management in the closing of the productive chain of the bovine meat constitutes at present an imperative to which efforts must be dedicated, within the cattle sector, because of the challenges imposed by the scenarios of industrialization and marketing at international and national level, together with the current call to improve the Cuban economic and social model. The presence of a procedure that makes such management viable becomes a powerful tool at the disposal of the decision makers involved in this process, especially those who focus on the closure of production chains. The objective of this work is to propose a procedure that, from a systemic vision, responds to the enterprise reality of the state bovine meat sector, in the closing of the productive chain until the final consumer, with added value. From the premises and objectives that make up the proposed procedure, composed of two closely interrelated stages, in which the map of chain closure is articulated, with the diagram of determined processes, it was possible to identify the most relevant actors and processes within each link of the closure of the bovine chain. This interrelation made it possible to have a practical management solution for the closure of production chains within the municipality of Consolación del Sur. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents the procedure to implement the Technological Innovation Management in the university-Cuban state animal husbandry enterprise relation and its validation in the case study University of Pinar del Río and Camilo Cienfuegos Genetic Animal Husbandry Enterprise. The procedure had three phases, with their corresponding steps (eight); in addition, 18 indicators, considered relevant for technology management in the university-enterprise relation, were identified, organized in four dimensions: institutional feedback, economic productive, environmental and social pertinence. These indicators become a key aspect for the evaluation of the model. It was determined that the three indicators with the best results were: the degree of application of the diagnosis in the enterprise, with the companionship of the university per year; the degree in which training generated changes and transformations in the use of the technologies per year; and the degree of planning, organization and contracting of R + D + i projects per year.
