An analysis of factors affecting the adoption of economic and productive data recording methods of Chilean farmers

Integration of the Chilean domestic economy into international markets has created the need to incorporate more technology, information, and management tools and to generate better entrepreneurial skills at the farm level. These changes require the development of strategic capabilities and farmer ch...
