MARTINEZ-APARICIO, Jorge. Micro, small and large business, two separate economic circuits: Lazaro Cardenas, Michoacan. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2012, vol.12, n.40, pp.751-791. ISSN 2448-6183.

Ciudad Lazaro Cardenas, Michoacan, is characterized by the formation of two circuits that operate and reproduce separately and discontinuously. In urban areas, on the one hand, large establishments located in the port area are linked to world trade. Moreover, a large aggregate of micro and small companies is scattered and attached to the consumption fund of the working population. Despite regional development policies and heavy investments implemented in the area since the seventies, productive links between the two circuits have not been built. Thus, both acquire their major inputs from outside the region. The micro and small enterprises appear as a minor player among the priorities for investment promotion of federal and state government, whilst large companies are considered strategic for its links to international trade.

Palabras llave : Ciudad Lazaro Cardenas; small and large companies; international enclave.
