  • Assembly (Maquiladora) Industry
    A turnover perception model of the general working population in the Mexican cross�border assembly (maquiladora) industry Blanca Rosa García Rivera* & Luis Arturo Rivas Tovar** r e s u m e n Un modelo de percepción de la rotación laboral en la población de trabajadores de la industria maquiladora mexicana En este estudio, analizamos la correlación entre la rotación laboral versus el perfil del empleado y sus percepciones sobre relaciones, lideraz- go, oportunidades, remuneración, adaptabilidad y equidad. El propósito de este estudio fue determinar si estas variables representaban una influencia significativa sobre la intención del empleado de abandonar la empresa. El instrumento empleado en la recolección de información fue un cuestionario de 57 preguntas con escala tipo Likert. La información se obtuvo de un total de 857 empleados entrevistados en 16 diferentes compañías de Ensenada, México. La investigación reveló que las variables de percepción sobre el trabajo y sobre el ejercicio del liderazgo tienen una influencia significativa en la rotación laboral. Los principales hallazgos de esta investigación revelaron que los trabaja- dores perciben la rotación como un resultado directo de la justicia (equidad) en el ejercicio del liderazgo, la adaptabilidad y las relaciones. A pesar de que el perfil del empleado arrojó una correlación negativa, la edad y el sexo tuvieron un impacto significativo en la rotación. El estudio sugiere otros aspectos para futuras investigaciones. Palabras clave: rotación laboral, Ensenada, México, modelo de rotación laboral, industria maquiladora. a b s t r a c t In this study, we analyze the correlation between employee turnover vs. employee profile and employee perceptions to motivation, leadership, opportunities, remuneration, adaptability and equity.

  • Did NAFTA Really Cause Mexico's High Maquiladora Growth
    Did NAFTA Really Cause Mexico’s High Maquiladora Growth? William C. Gruben* (July 2001) Center for Latin American Economics Working Paper CLAE 0301 *Director, Center for Latin American Economics, and Vice-President, Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. e-mail: [email protected] Opinions expressed in this paper do not reflect the opinions of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas or of the Federal Reserve System. 1 I. Introduction Among Mexico’s most striking industrial phenomena in the wake of the North American Free Trade Agreement has been the rapid growth of in-bond plants that operate under the country’s maquiladora program.1 Under its simplest organizational form, a maquiladora plant imports inputs in-bond from the United States, processes them in some way, and then ships them back to the United States – perhaps for more processing. The maquiladora program itself permits the inputs and the machinery used to process them to enter Mexico without payment of import tariffs. On the return to the United States, the shipper pays only such U.S. import duties as are applicable to the value added by manufacture in Mexico.2 Although maquiladoras have been in operation in Mexico since the 1960s, their output and employment growth began to accelerate rapidly with the advent of NAFTA. Over the first five years after the onset of NAFTA, maquiladora employment grew 86 percent, compared with 47 percent growth over the five years previous. Seeing this sudden acceleration (Chart I), opponents, supporters and academic researchers of the North American Free Trade Agreement have argued that NAFTA was the cause.

Este sector ha generado grandes fuentes de empleos provocando con ello un rápido incremento poblacional, económico y urbano que impacta tanto en: Beneficios Traducidos en experiencias para oportunidades de aprendizaje, disciplina, cierto ordenamiento urbano y mejoras en la ciudad, suma de esfuerzos conjuntos entre el sector privado, el gubernamental y la comunidad. Otro reto a superar en la actualidad es incrementar la base de proveedores, para lo cual se necesita una mayor participación e inversión por parte de los empresarios de Juárez y nacionales, así como apoyo de los tres niveles de gobierno mexicano.

  • Fitch Rati Ca Cali Cación De Gruma En 'AAA(Mex)'; Perspectiva Estable
    8/31/2020 Fitch Ratifica Calificación de Gruma en 'AAA(mex)'; Perspectiva Estable RATING ACTION COMMENTARY Fitch Ratica Calicación de Gruma en 'AAA(mex)'; Perspectiva Estable Mon 31 Aug, 2020 - 7:26 PM ET Fitch Ratings - Monterrey - 31 Aug 2020: Fitch Ratings raticó la calicación en escala nacional de Gruma, S.A.B. de C.V. (Gruma) en 'AAA(mex)' y la calicación de corto plazo en escala nacional en ‘F1+(mex)’. Asimismo, raticó las calicaciones en escala internacional en moneda extranjera y local de Gruma en 'BBB'. La Perspectiva de las calicaciones es Estable. La raticación de las calicaciones reeja la posición de negocio sólida de Gruma como uno de los productores principales de harina de maíz y tortillas en el mundo, con marcas reconocidas en sus mercados principales y diversicación geográca de sus operaciones. Las calicaciones también incorporan su perl nanciero consistente con márgenes de rentabilidad buenos, niveles bajos de apalancamiento y posición amplia de liquidez. Fitch prevé que Gruma manejará efectivamente en 2020 los desafíos asociados un entorno económico débil y a las disrupciones de la pandemia por coronavirus. Se espera que el aumento en la demanda de sus productos en el canal de supermercado compense la disminución en la demanda en el segmento de servicios de comida. Fitch proyecta que la deuda total a EBITDA (excluye IFRS 16) de Gruma estará entre 1.5 veces (x) y 2.0x en los próximos 12 a 24 meses. https://www.fitchratings.com/research/es/corporate-finance/fitch-ratifica-calificacion-de-gruma-en-aaa-mex-perspectiva-estable-31-08-2020 1/12 8/31/2020 Fitch Ratifica Calificación de Gruma en 'AAA(mex)'; Perspectiva Estable FACTORES CLAVE DE CALIFICACIÓN Disrupciones por Coronavirus Manejable: Las operaciones de Gruma han mostrado resiliencia durante la pandemia por coronavirus ya que los consumidores han cambiado sus preferencias a consumir en casa en comparación a consumir fuera de casa.
