GALICIA-BRETON MORA, Fabiola  e  SANCHEZ-JUAREZ, Isaac Leobardo. The automotive industry and the support to productive chains in Sonora: the Ford case in Hermosillo. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2011, vol.11, n.35, pp.161-195. ISSN 2448-6183.

The formation of productive chains is an indispensable condition for local economic development in the new scenario generated by a globally competitive environment. In the case of Sonora, from the establishment of the Ford Motor Company stamping and assembly factory in Hermosillo in 1986, the local enterprises have not been able to fully integrate into the productive processes of the factory. This failure has its main origin in the inadequate industrial policy applied by governmental and private organisms, together with the lack of an entrepreneurial culture that takes up higher risks. In this article we present the history of automotive industry in Mexico, specially in the case of Sonora. The results allow foreseeing that it is unlikely that -in the short term- productive chains will be produced.

Palavras-chave : productive chains; automotive industry; Ford-Hermosillo; industrial policy.
