Business Performance, Corporate Structure and Competitiveness in Mexico

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the structure, characteristics and business performance in the 32 States of Mexico, to determine their levels of competitiveness. It follows a previous study by Unger, Flores and Ibarra (Productividad y capital humano: fuentes complementarias de la competitividad de los estados mexicanos, 2013), in which a model is applied to measure business competitiveness. The variables that are taken are the salary and the value added in the model to measure competitiveness. The research results confirm the hypothesis that the competitiveness of States can be determined by the business structure, productivity and therefore higher wage advantage.
