Abstract: El objetivo de este trabajo es especificar los criterios de gestion y planificacion de la actividad horticola en la Region de Murcia, contrastando ademas la hipotesis de que las diversas caracteristicas estructurales de las explotaciones agrarias son determinantes de distintas estrategias gerenciales. Para ello -y a partir de los datos de una encuesta realizada a una muestra de horticultores de la Region de Murcia- se plantea una metodologia de analisis en tres fases. En la primera, se establece una tipologia de las explotaciones horticolas regionales mediante un analisis cluster en dos etapas. En segundo lugar, se verifica la capacidad de los vectores de decision empresarial para explicar la formacion de las agrupaciones delimitadas en la fase anterior, utilizando la tecnica del analisis discriminante. Por ultimo, se examinan, a traves del recurso a pruebas simples de distancias y diferencias de medias, las divergencias existentes entre los criterios de decision de cada uno de los grupos, definiendo, a modo de conclusion, un patron del comportamiento estrategico de gestion para los diferentes modelos estrucurales de explotaciones horticolas de la Region de Murcia...The aim of this work is the establishment of the criteria of management and planning in the horticultural activity of Murcia's area. Same time, the hypothesis that the diverse structural characteristics of the agrarian farms are determining different management strategies is contrasted. From the data of a survey made to a representative sample of horticultural farmers of the Region of Murcia, a methodology of analysis in three phases is implemented. Firstly, a typology of the regional horticulture farms is carried out using a two stages cluster analysis. Secondly, the capacity of the vectors of enterprise decision is verified to explain the formation of the groupings specified in the previous phase, using the technique of discriminant analysis. Finally, using some tests of distances and differences of averages, the divergences between the criteria of decision of each one of the groups are analyzed. As a mayor conclusion, a pattern of the strategic behaviour of management for the different structural models from horticulture farms of the Region of Murcia is presented.
