“…Si bien en el país se instrumentan procesos de fabricación modernos que permiten la gestión de cadenas de suministro cada vez más fragmentadas, es probable que la profundización de la digitalización y el nuevo marco regulatorio del comercio con Norteamérica, reestructure toda la cadena de suministro, obligando a la proveeduría local a evolucionar hacia la gestión integral de procesos de producción y reducción de costos, a través de la integración de sistemas digitales y automatizados, gestión de datos y análisis avanzado, lo que implica, por un lado, la necesidad de invertir en I+D para poder innovar, por otro, desarrollar habilidades de aprendizaje en los recursos humanos, lo que involucra invertir en capacidades cognitivas, a la par que se mejoran las condiciones salariales y de retribución del trabajo (Carbajal, Carrillo and de Jesús, 2018;Falck-Reyes and Guzman-Anaya, 2018;Covarrubias, 2020;OIT, 2020 La revista Norteamérica publica versiones Ahead-of-Print (AOP) de los artículos dictaminados mediante una rigurosa evaluación de tipo doble ciego y que han sido aceptados por el Comité Editorial con el fin de ofrecer un acceso más amplio y expedito a ellos. / Norteamerica publishes Ahead-of-Print (AOP) versions of all manuscripts that have undergone a rigorous double-blind peer-review and been approved for publication by the Editorial Board in order to provide broader and earlier access to them.…”

Directrices de la reestructuración de la industria automotriz mundial y sus implicaciones para México

La industria automotriz (IA) es un sistema que adopta conjuntos amplios de tecnologías aunados a un modelo de negocio sustentado en la movilidad privativa; el presente documento explora las directrices de su reestructuración para situar el rol y posición que guarda la industria mexicana en el entramado de manufactura y consumo global, teniendo como contexto la transición sociotécnica hacia el paradigma de movilidad interactiva; se concluye que la estrategia centrada en atraer fuertes flujos de inversión extranjera directa (IED) minó las capacidades productivas nacionales. Dicho resultado deja al país en una situación desventajosa, en un contexto donde la ventaja centrada en bajos salarios se diluye, frente a la necesidad de consolidar capacidades de conocimiento requeridas para instrumentar la digitalización y automatización de procesos emergente en el sector.

The future of the automotive industry: dangerous challenges or new life for a saturated market?

The automotive industry is undergoing a radical transformation. New social, technological, environmental and geopolitical challenges are redefining the characteristics of a saturated market, opening new scenarios while offering opportunities for the entry of new players. These challenges are bound to trigger reorganization of the global value chain between old and new suppliers and car makers and their suppliers, affecting the distribution of employ-ment, the regionalization of production and the dynamic evolution of the comparative ad-vantage of nations. In this paper we address the issue of the reorganization of global value chains in the face of these challenges. The analysis will compare the relative position of core and peripheries in the North-American and European macro-regions, focusing on Mexico, which represents a significant case study for analysis of the impact of the digital transformation on the domestic value chain in an “integrated periphery”, and of trade agreements on the location policies of big multinationals. The dependency of the Mexican automotive industry on the strategic decisions of global players is considered a factor of great vulnerability, especially in a context of rapid change in the patterns of consumption, technologies and international trade agreements. For Mexico, as for European producers in the integrated and semi-peripheries, the main challenge in the near future will be posed by the radical transformation the industry is going through in electrical and autonomous-driving vehicles, which sees regions and players outside the traditional automotive clusters in the lead. The transformations taking place are bound to change the global structure of automotive production. The rise of new competitors from the emerging economies and would-be entrants from other sectors, competing in mastering the new digital and software technologies, threatens the established structure of the industry. The pandemic has led to a spectacular acceleration in the process of change, while heightening uncertainty about future developments. This is why the governments of leading countries are joining in the race, wielding carrots and sticks in support of their industries and in the endeavor to encourage risk-taking and investment in research and innovation, step up e-vehicle production while providing for the necessary infrastructures, and guarantee their companies a place in the new industry.

The Political Economy of Automotive Industrialization in East Asia

This book offers a political economy explanation for the striking cross-national differences in strategies and performance among East Asia’s automotive industries. Some countries—China, South Korea, and Taiwan—have successfully pursued “intensive” growth strategies by increasing local value added based on domestic inputs and technological competencies. Malaysia has attempted but failed to pursue this path. In contrast, Thailand has become a champion of “extensive” growth, relying on foreign assemblers and their suppliers to achieve an impressive expansion of production, assembly, and exports. Latecomer Indonesia has followed Thailand with some success, whereas the Philippines has remained an automotive backwater. Through cross-case and within-case analyses of the seven countries, the book argues that variation is a function of the institutional and political contexts in which firms operate. Different strategies require different institutions and institutional capacities. Intensive development is especially institutionally demanding. Effective institutions emerge when political leaders face severe claims on resources (security threats and domestic pressures for welfare improvement) in the absence of easily accessible revenues to satisfy such needs. Brief comparisons with Brazil, Mexico, and other developing countries confirm the utility of the analytic framework. This explanation is superior to neoclassical accounts. It is consistent with but provides more insight than other prominent approaches to development: national innovation systems, global value chains, and developmental states. New challenges facing auto assemblers and suppliers, such as the transition to electric and autonomous vehicles, will call heavily upon the institutional capacities highlighted in this book.
