Eclecticism in business management

Management as a social process has accompanied man throughout history. At the beginning of the 20th century, management began to undergo a significant development, seeking to respond to the demands of the capitalist system. As new situations appeared, theories were developed to provide answers to them and, although they did not fully resolve the situation, they created the basis for their own overcoming. From this point on, countless theories were developed. Almost all of them have been developed in highly developed capitalist countries, in order to perfect the established economic mechanism. These theories were considered at the time as paradigms of the science of management, and applied in any socioeconomic and cultural context, despite the differences it may have with the territory of origin in terms of social system, economic development, culture and idiosyncrasy. It is interesting to know how these theories have been applied in such a different environment as the Cuban business system and the results obtained.
