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.

This article aims to versioning a series of ideas, concepts and postures methodical and procedural epistemic justifying approach multi-method in scientific research management, thus contributing to the development of scientific work in the social sciences and, why not, in the formal and natural. For this reason, the development of social research in Venezuela has generated the need to discuss and resolve promptly unifying aspects of the epistemological, methodological andoperational treatments in the context of social sciences. Indeed, the acceptance of the complementarity of research approaches (cualitativos-cuantitativos) is determined, the matter now demand to discuss if this complementarity is only a variant of what is now known as the multi-method approach, emphasized by Shaughnessy and Zechmeister, Zechmeister (2007). This methodological proposal, also worked by RuizBolivar (2008)It serves the achievement of an integral knowledge using various methodological and/or procedural Court quantitative way. Hence the theme tratadase look like a novelty in research, inasmuch as seeking the involvement of all investigative roads towards more complete knowledge possible without falling into the management of different routes disregarding supportive processes of research paradigms supporters of the research processe.

This work paper describes the concept of development, the state and public policies in Venezuela between 2005-2014. The research is theoretical documentary and descriptive (Gadamer, 1977; Dilthey, 2000; Cifuentes, 2003; Sandín, 2003; Martínez, 2005; Arias, 2006). The findings show a contradictory way between neoliberal policies clothed with an alternative discourse that result in a centralized government trying to implement a socialist model since 2005, whose distinctive feature is the concentration of power and state control over the economy and social relations. As final remarks concern is highlighted by finding outlets that build an alternative based on basic agreements and tolerance between different ideological positions.
