Abstract

The following article aims to explore and bring closer the concepts of public policy, governance and innovation, and the emergence of Cuban SMEs and their current situation. For this, a bibliographic review and field research was carried out where the results indicate that this field of study is oriented to the relationship between the adoption of open innovation and company performance. Theoretical and empirical methods were used, including techniques and tools from administrative sciences and other related specialties. This study focused on the results of Cuban SMEs, from their creation; despite not being relevant at a global level, due to the short initiation time, they do contribute greatly to the country's productivity.
