DABAT, Alejandro; ORDONEZ, Sergio  and  RIVERA RIOS, Miguel A.. La reestructuración del cluster electrónico de Guadalajara (México) y el nuevo aprendizaje tecnológico. Prob. Des [online]. 2005, vol.36, n.143, pp.89-111. ISSN 0301-7036.

The electronics cluster in Guadalajara has been restructured due to the severe effects of the global telecommunications crisis of 2001-2002. Although the drop in exports of electronic products had been overcome by 2004, this crisis implied a displacement of production to China, which, at the same time, consolidated that country's role as a world power in electronics. The locality in Mexico has tended to adapt itself to the new market conditions, specializing in products with higher aggregate value, generated in shorter series. One outstanding aspect of that change of production profile in the cluster has been the emergence of a new type of local domestic company that provides advanced services to leading companies known as original equipment manufacturing (OEM). This article, based on field-work, focuses on the study of the new technological learning process among these local companies.

Keywords : electronics industry in Mexico; technological learning; cluster; industrial development.
