The article studies the process of political mobilization and repression that auto workers in Argentina underwent between 1970 and the beginning of the 1980s, within the general context of the «international cycle of class struggle». It analyses them in the light of their relationship with the process of transformations that the global process of capital accumulation underwent, with its epicenter in the crisis of 1972-1982, which resulted in changes in the international division of labour. It is argued that the particular characteristics developed by the political process in Argentina can be explained by the specific way in which it participates in this international division of labour.

The objective of this research is the analysis of the general position of the Spanish population under 45 years old (young adults) regarding the acceptance of the electric vehicle. The methodology is quantitative (from survey data) and qualitative (semi-structured interviews with professionals in the sector Although most of the participants state that they are aware of the environment, only 29.4% would be interested in purchasing an electric vehicle, its high price being the biggest barrier. It is concluded that electric vehicles will be the predominant mobility option in the future, although currently they are not, mainly among the younger population. In any case, interest in electric vehicles is different depending on gender, level of education and frequency of vehicle change. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As a result of the colonization process that began in the mid-19th century in southern Chile and, with it, the systematic arrival of European immigrants, an informal discourse has been favored over time to sustain the transcendent contribution of foreigners in the area, as well as the architectures accrued, thus emerging a widely spread valuation and cataloging discourse; the «German architecture of southern Chile.» Notwithstanding the widely publicized colonizing agenda and its overall impact, economic progress and better material conditions are not transversal issues within this migrant colony. Within this scenario, the Typical Zone of General Pedro Lagos Street, located in the city of Valdivia, constitutes a highly representative sector in terms of its social recognition and the valuation given to the properties located there as exponents of a prolific colonization process. In a specific group of buildings in this area, this article will review and present detailed background information that will allow building a situated and complex architectural scene, revealing the mechanisms used to exhibit prosperity and social climbing as an expiatory vehicle to cover production conditions alien to the neatness of capitalist German entrepreneurship and the European sophistication that was so desired to be transmitted in the cities undergoing fledgling immigration processes.

The 2020-2021 global health crisis, the microcomponent shortage emergency from 2021 to current days and the multiple ongoing geopolitical tensions (especially between United States and China) continue to have an impact on the automotive industry. These events have generated disruptions in supply chains, which have highlighted the vulnerabilities of a production system that works Just in Time. In this context, nearshoring has gained significance as a strategy to ensure a resilient and efficient supply chain in terms of times and costs. The objective of this research is to describe the scenario of the automotive industry in Mexico during the recent crisis that have occurred since 2020, and that continue to impact the international trade context, identifying nearshoring as a business strategy linked to a productive restructuring, with the aim of managing risks in a complex production network. It is concluded that the post pandemic context demands a reconsideration of the structure and organization of the productive activities of the Mexican automotive industry, with an impact not just at the sectoral level but also at the regional level. Furthermore, the increase in production costs in China also positions Mexico as an attractive trading partner, proposing to launch operations with similar products to the Asian manufacturers. The productive and geographic restructuring, which includes offshoring to reshoring with re-localization of companies and divisions, impose to consider the role that Mexico will play in the changing geopolitical and economic landscape.

Context. The global problems of environmental degradation and climate change are leading organizations to adopt and apply new production strategies to improve their innovation activities. Among the different business strategies recently proposed in the literature, open innovation and eco-innovation stand out, for which there is still no certainty in the innovation literature that they can generate better results in organizations. For this reason, future studies need to provide empirical evidence in favor of this relationship. Objective. Explore the link between open innovation, eco-innovation activities, and business performance. Problem. Would it be possible to establish that the adoption and implementation of open innovation and eco-innovation improve business performance in manufacturing firms in Mexico? Methodology. The Methodology practically consisted of carrying out a quantitative investigation, reviewing recently published articles in high-impact international journals, and a sample framework comprising three measurement scales, 27 items, and two hypotheses that were tested by applying 460 surveys to companies in the automotive sector, between January to March 2021. Theoretical and Practical Findings. The findings of this study corroborate our argument that firms that have adopted and applied open innovation and eco-innovation have managed to increase their level of business performance significantly. Transdisciplinary and sustainable innovation originality. By applying 460 surveys between January to March 2021, the same number of organizations, this study contributes to expanding the limited knowledge in the literature about the link between open innovation and eco-innovation and its impact on business performance. Conclusions and limitations. The estimation of the data derived from the 460 surveys applied in 2021 to the same number of companies provides empirical evidence that allows us to conclude that the close link between open innovation and eco-innovation contributes to a substantial increase in the level of business performance of companies.

This study argues that the disruptive transition of the auto industry toward a new industrial paradigm of electrification and new mobilities is generating a new product life cycle (plc) that favors investment in countries like Mexico. The confluence of this with companies' new nearshoring strategies, the break-up of chains, and the ongoing wars result in making Mexican artificial intelligence (ai) more attractive. The author puts forward a conceptual model for capturing the change in the plc of the auto industry in transition, plus another for understanding the change in the country's industrial and labor regime as a long-term socio-technical transition. So, with evidence of the evolution of global and Mexican ai, and reconstructing the trajectories of Ford and Tesla, he illustrates why Mexico will come out the biggest winner in North America in the industry's radical reorientation.

This paper analyzes the impact of the automotive sector on the regional development of the Mexican lowlands region of Bajío. The staggered adoption of synthetic control methodology was used, considering the establishment of new automotive assembly plants in the states of the Bajío region between 2007 and 2014. It is estimated that for each new job created in automotive companies, an average of five additional jobs were created in the Bajío states, 78% outside the manufacturing sector. In addition, by promoting more significant economic opportunities, working poverty was reduced by an average of 10.5 percentage points. Finally, evidence was found that, in 2018, high school enrollment increased by 3%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: Contribute to the study of the middle-income trap (MIT) by implementing the concept of institutional complementarity. That is, the principle that the operation of an institution affects the performance of other institutions, while degrees of complementarity affect competitiveness. Methodological design: This work is a study of a strategic high-tech industry such as the automotive industry in Mexico. A qualitative methodology was used including semi-structured interviews, participative observation, and documentary and discourse analysis using NVivo software. Results: Five limitations of institutional complementarity were identified that contribute to extending the MIT: silos and short-term work, lack of links to bring technology from academia to industry, limited multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary promotion and development, limits in national science coordination and technology and an industrial structure lacking a culture of R&D. Research limitations: The empirical exploration was limited to one industry. It is necessary to extend the exploration to cover other strategic export sectors such as electrical-electronic, aerospace, or pharmaceutical industries, to test the generalization and replication capabilities of the model and proposition presented. Findings: The precarious institutional complementarity between government, private and academic innovation agendas, as well as within them, limits the results achieved in terms of innovation and escalations in the automotive industry in Mexico and its role as a locomotive for other industries, despite being one of the productive platforms with the greatest capacity and with a range of initiatives to innovate and learn from, therefore extending the prevalence of the middle-income trap in Mexico. Institutional complementarity is a useful alternative concept to unravel the middle-income trap. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: To demonstrate the relevance of risk management (RM) – particularly in the risk identification phase – within organizations, highlighting its usefulness in the context of the supply chain (SC) of the automotive industry (AI). Methodological design: Through a literature review of 44 articles on RM in the SC of AI, 19 empirical publications were selected, published between the years 2018-2022, and retrieved from the databases: Google Scholar and Dimensions. The publications are situated in a global context and belong to Scimago classifications ranging from Q1 to Q4. Results: A total of 17 distinct risk categories were identified, with demand-driven risks and acquisition risks being particularly prominent. Notably, the most commonly identified risk types encompass issues concerning subpar part quality and inadequate communication with suppliers. The main contribution of this work is a typology of risks. Research limitations: The subjectivity that may have been present when the researchers evaluated the risks and the lack of formal risk management frames are potential constraints of this study. Findings: The primary findings indicate that RM serves as a managerial instrument which improves the performance of AI by providing criteria to identify risk factors within a global economy. These factors are considered not only as threats but also as opportunities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper examines the factors of stage of establishment, region of destination, country of origin and union as determinants of the annual integrated wage of unionized workers through the analysis of the collective bargaining agreements of the year 2019 for 20 automotive assembly companies. Kruskal Wallis analysis and Dunn-Bonferroni tests are used to determine whether wage differences existed. The findings show that from the third stage of establishment wages decreased. The central and northern regions displayed high wages, but western and central-northern regions displayed low wages. In the case of companies of European origin, they displayed high wages, while Asian companies displayed low wages; in unions of FESEBS higher wages and FNSI low wages. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article analyzes the impact of the Treaty between Mexico, the United States, and Canada (T-MEC) on labor relations in Mexico. It is concluded that the changes so far are limited and focused on strategic industries such as the automotive industry. It is argued that there will only be a real transformation if legislative changes are supported and processed by the different actors involved and backed by civil society. Additionally, the lack of regulation and social security for informal workers in Mexico is highlighted. [Extracted from the article]

Almost two years after the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) has been in force, an analysis of the Mexican automotive sector is presented, as well as the conditions that characterize its integration with the North American region. In principle, a study of the basic elements that explain the evolution of the automotive sector installed in Mexico, whose antecedents go back almost a century of history, was carried out; Subsequently, the conditions that gave rise to the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) are evaluated, a process that culminated in the signing of the USMCA.An explanation was incorporated on the provisions related to the determination of the regional origin of vehicles manufactured in North America, to conclude with the preparation of Results and Perspectives for the sector, one year after the USMCA is in force.

The study examines the effects of trade liberalization on employment and the labor market in Mexico's manufacturing industry. The analysis places special emphasis on assessing the extent to which the industry's distinct trade performance is accompanied by an improvement in labor conditions to ensure decent work. For this purpose, the study applies the framework of decent work indicators developed by the International Labour Organization (ILO), in combination with input-output analysis, to explore selected links between international trade and certain indicators of decent work in two industries of Mexico's manufacturing sector: automotive and textile. We chose these two industries because of the key differences in their organizational structures, their roles in global value chains (GVC), and their dynamism in recent decades. A key contribution of the study was to construct a set of relevant time series indicators of decent work for these two industrial activities in Mexico, based on ilo guidelines and official data. This study is the first one to build indicators of decent work at the industry level in Mexico. It finds important differences in these two industries' advances towards decent work, which can be partly explained by their distinct performances in international trade. Based on these results, the study offers some policy recommendations to help achieve a more robust pace of progress towards decent work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
