The present research focuses on the analysis of the productive chains of cattle sector of the Zulian region. A review of theoretical approaches that approach the productive chains is carried out, so it is cataloged as documentary-bibliographic. The results indicate that there are no consolidated chains of production in the sector, each of the links persists in isolation, with many actors, specifically in the marketing and distribution phase (levels of intermediation from production units to production plants of benefits, even from these to the final consumer-market). In the procurement phase, problems are perceived for the acquisition of inputs, being difficult to negotiate with suppliers prices and quantities for the existing restrictions, this affects the phase of production who sees its production limited by these factors among others related to climatic situations and incentive economic benefits. Imbalances are perceived in the procurement and distribution and marketing phases, i.e. at the ends of the chain, which affect the productivity of the operations and the profitability of the products. It is need to work in order to consolidate the chain approach in the sector, fostering possible integrations between key links, minimizing existing imbalances and strengthening their consolidation.

The analytical-documentary method was used, allowing the identification of aspects of both study events. Documentary and electronic documentary sources are used as data collection techniques. According to the theoretical approaches presented in the research it can be asserted that intellectual capital has become the fundamental pillar of the philosophy of value creation. However, its management should not be understood as an end in itself, but as an additional tool of the value creation process. In this sense, the competitive environment in which the companies are currently developing are beginning to demand the presence of productive processes and organizers who travel not only to the optimization of resources shown through financial indexes but also, Financial instruments that measure the activities that produce intangible assets; Within this scope is located the integral scorecard, being a tool that provides executives of companies, a broad framework where the vision and business strategy, expressed in a coherent set of performance indicators, A Through four basic measurement perspectives: financial, internal processes, customers and training and growth.
