La crisis global actual y el sector electrónico-informático

Abstract

The effects of the global financial-production crisis on worldwide E-IS have been moderate: this sector is well positioned to reconstitute itself within the dynamic axis of recovery, with China and East Asia performing as rivals. The trends during this process will be oriented towards the socially rationalized use of electronics-informatics technologies that imply cost savings in the short and medium terms both for companies and governments. Mexico has a medium-developed E-IS, but still lacks the dynamic and integrated capacity of internal economic growth; at the same time, this inhibits the development of a competitive infrastructure for the international integration and internal development of knowledge processes, so that its good positioning in the recovery will tend to act, paradoxically, against the necessary reforms that will allow all of its potentialities to contribute towards the country's development.
