Abstract

Esta investigación tiene como objetivo estudiar las relaciones entre la decisión de inversión en tecnología, la implementación de tecnología avanzada y la facilidad de localización de pymes manufactureras de Puebla–Tlaxcala. Se entrevistó a 250 pequeñas y medianas empresas (pymes) de sectores de la industria textil, confección, autopartes, alimentos, muebles, metálica básica y plástico. Los factores de fácil localización, criterios de inversión de tecnología y tecnologías de manufactura avanzada fueron determinados con base en la literatura. Las relaciones entre implementación de tecnologías de manufactura avanzadas y facilidades de ubicación fueron estudiadas a través del test Mann–Whitney. Los resultados del test han mostrado que mientras las empresas incrementan el nivel de tecnología, también reconsideran la importancia relativa de los criterios de factores de ubicación. Las pymes son generalmente motivadas y dirigidas por las fuerzas del mercado (market pull) y el “technology push” tiene menos efecto en comparación con las grandes empresas./ This investigation has as objective to study the relationships among the investment decision in technology, the high-technology implementation and the easiness of localization of pymes manufacturers of Puebla–Tlaxcala. One interviews to 250 small and medium companies (pymes) of sectors of the textile industry, making, parts of automobiles, food industry, furniture, metallic basic and plastic. The factors of easy localization, approaches of technology investment and technologies of factory outpost were determined based on the literature. The relationships between implementation of advanced factory technologies and location facilities were studied through the test Mann–Whitney. The results of the test have shown that while the companies increase the technology level, they also reconsider the relative importance of the approaches of location factors. The pymes is generally motivated and directed by the forces of the market (market pull) and the “technology push” has less effect in comparison with the big companies.
