description The work assesses this economic actor in the programmatic documents of the last three Party Congresses. It starts with some data that characterise the Cuban entrepreneurial system at the end of 2023. After this, it very briefly looks at the document Economic and Social Guidelines of the Party and the Revolution (hereafter, Guidelines ) that came out of the VI Party Congress, the foundational document of the so-called process of updating the Cuban economic model. The next two sections open with a balance of the contributions and limitations of the Conceptualization of the Cuban Economic and Social Model of Socialist Development (hereafter Conceptualization ) related to state-owned enterprises. Subsequently, other documents related to the ‘implementation’ of the Conceptualization are discussed. Finally it includes some ideas, the result of collective work, for transforming the management and the performance of this economic actor, in the midst of a critical situation that requires increasing the country’s entrepreneurial capacity, stabilising the macroeconomy, and embarking on the necessary and difficult path towards a productive reconstruction.
