The sample was built with banana production units from Carepa, Apartadó and Turbo, in Urabá. A structured survey was used and the information was analyzed by contrasting the theoretical aspects and the empirical work in order to establish talent management´s contribution to the organizational strategy.

The management systems of the area are executed according to the criteria of managers or owners, and this is at the end a classical-traditional operative model.
