Management of training and training for better management in the Cuban socioeconomic context

Abstract

The management of training is nowadays an imperative given the challenges imposed by the new Cuban socioeconomic scenario and the improvement of its model. In this sense, it is necessary to reflect on the question: ¿manage the training or train for a better management of the processes depending on the decision-making? The objective of this paper is to show a methodology of training managers from a systemic and participatory vision that responds to the reality of the non-state sector, which represents the complement to the state enterprise as the central axis of the current Cuban business system. This methodology is focused on several fundamental dimensions: socio-economic, legal-administrative, environmental and political-institutional, and is developed through Research-Action-Participation, where managers become active subjects in determining their own training needs of each business context, whether state or cooperative. The proposed methodology, based on its premises and objectives, consists of four phases that correspond to each of the respective dimensions, constituting its central axis, which taxes the solution of the starting point of our work on what is the imperative for the training of managers: to manage the training or to train for a better management?
