Abstract

El presente estudio tiene por objetivo “reconstruir” y comparar las redes de flujo de conocimiento e información tecnológica (RFCIT) en la industria acuícola, específicamente en el cultivo de camarón, de dos de las principales regiones productoras de camarón de cultivo en México: el municipio de Ahome, ubicado al norte del Estado de Sinaloa, y la región costera centro-sur del estado de Sonora. La investigación se basa en el enfoque del análisis de redes sociales y la información fue obtenida mediante la aplicación de una encuesta a una muestra de 91 empresas dedicadas al cultivo de camarón en las regiones mencionadas. Las conclusiones del estudio senalan que las características y la configuración de las RFCIT de la acuicultura de Sinaloa le han permitido a esta entidad tener una ventaja de competitividad frente a Sonora, para paliar los efectos de la crisis de los últimos anos. ****** The purpose of this study is to “reconstruct” and compare the networks of knowledge flow and technological information (NKFTI) in the aquaculture industry, specifically in shrimp farming in two of the main regions producing farmed-shrimp in Mexico: The municipality of Ahome, located to the north of Sinaloa, and the coastal south-center region of Sonora. Research is based on the approach to the analysis of social networks and information gathered by conducting a survey with a sample of 91 companies dedicated to shrimp farming in the regions mentioned above. The study findings show that the features and settings of the NKFTI of Sinaloa aquaculture have allowed this region to gain a competitive advantage over Sonora, to mitigate the effects of the crisis in recent years. ****** O objetivo deste estudo é “reconstruir” e comparar as redes de fluxo de conhecimento e informacao tecnológica (RFCIT) no setor aquícola, especificamente na criacao de camaroes, de duas das principais regioes produtoras de criacao de camaroes no México: o município de Ahome, localizado ao norte do estado de Sinaloa, e o litoral centro-sul do estado de Sonora. A pesquisa tem como base a análise de redes sociais, as informacoes foram obtidas a partir da aplicacao de uma enquete a uma amostra de 91 empresas dedicadas a criacao de camarao nas regioes mencionadas. As conclusoes do estudo indicam que as características e a configuracao das RFCIT da aquicultura em Sinaloa permitiram que ela tivesse uma vantagem competitiva sobre Sonora, mitigando os efeitos da crise dos últimos anos.
