Strategic optimization in a Cuban dairy company: key to continuous improvement

Authors

Abstract

The current context, marked by several global challenges, has highlighted the shortcomings of traditional management approaches. In this regard, financial management is a fundamental pillar of business sustainability and profitability; its proper application allows for improved decision-making, optimized resources, and guaranteed long-term economic stability. This research aims to conduct a strategic analysis to support sound decision-making within the company and contribute to the improvement of its management. The methodology implemented is mixed, employing empirical methods such as literature reviews, informal interviews, direct observations, index calculations, and interpretation of financial ratios. The main results include a thorough evaluation of the entity's situation during the period 2022-2024, the identification of causes, and the proposal of strategies. This allows for the elimination or minimization of identified gaps in order to improve business management, reduce the level of subjectivity in the decision-making process, and promote continuous improvement within the organization.
