| description | This research aims to determine the factors influencing local supplier development by multinational subsidiaries in emerging countries like México. A quantitative regression methodology is employed using survey data collected from sourcing managers for a case-study focused on Mexico’s home appliance value chain. Although the extant literature suggests that a variety of factors influence local supplier development, only three factors were significant in this context: firm size, degree of autonomy, and technological capabilities. The applied research was conducted in the north of Mexico, where more than 50% of the domestic electrical products are produced; as such, the results generated herein could be reasonably representative of countrywide trends and phenomena. The context and results of this study could be useful to multinational companies in other emerging countries as they pursue development strategies vis-à-vis their local suppliers. Due to the scarcity of studies in México on value chains regarding local supplier development, the research presented here adds important knowledge on this topic.
Keywords: Supplier Development, Value Chain, Household Appliances, Multinational companies, autonomy of the firm.

Published: 27/04/2020 Esta investigación tiene como objetivo determinar los factores que influyen en el desarrollo de proveedores locales por parte de subsidiarias multinacionales en países emergentes como México. Se emplea una metodología de regresión cuantitativa utilizando datos de encuestas recopiladas por los gerentes de abastecimiento para un estudio de caso centrado en la cadena de valor de electrodomésticos de México. Hallazgos: aunque la literatura existente sugiere que una variedad de factores influyen en el desarrollo del proveedor local, solo tres factores fueron significativos en este contexto: tamaño de la empresa, grado de autonomía y capacidades tecnológicas. La investigación aplicada se realizó en el norte de México, donde se producen más del 50% de los productos eléctricos domésticos; como tal, los resultados generados en este documento podrían ser razonablemente representativos de las tendencias y fenómenos en todo el país. El contexto y los resultados de este estudio podrían ser útiles para las empresas multinacionales en otros países emergentes, ya que persiguen estrategias de desarrollo con respecto a sus proveedores locales. Debido a la escasez de estudios en México sobre cadenas de valor con respecto al desarrollo de proveedores locales, la investigación que se presenta aquí aporta un mayor conocimiento sobre este tema.
