Abstract

El objetivo general de la presente investigación es caracterizar a las empresas industriales del Partido de General Pueyrredon (PGP) en relación a su comportamiento exportador, con el fin último de contribuir al conocimiento del fenómeno de la exportación en el nivel microeconómico, a partir de la evidencia de empresas industriales del PGP. La investigación es de tipo descriptiva y exploratoria, y se aplican técnicas univariadas, bivariadas y análisis de correspondencias múltiples, a datos de 315 firmas industriales relevadas durante el segundo semestre del 2013 y primeros meses del 2014. Los resultados indican, en primer lugar, que la mera condición de ser exportadoras hace a las firmas distintas al resto y, en segundo lugar, que entre las firmas exportadoras, se identifican distintos perfiles, evidenciando entre ellos asimetrías tecnológicas. Las diferencias entre estos clusters se basan en los distintos sectores de actividad a los que pertenecen las firmas, los distintos esfuerzos y resultados en innovación, la diversificación productiva, la calificación de la mano de obra, los principales destinos de exportación y el porcentaje de ventas exportado. A su vez, al interior de cada cluster existen variedades tecnológicas y diferencias de comportamiento, ya que las firmas padecen problemáticas similares, pero difieren en las estrategias con las que los enfrentan.
