Abstract

Activities related to foreign trade and specifically to the manufacturing sector represent a strength of the Mexican economy. In 2018, exports and imports totaled 914 986.9 million dollars, the value of total exports reached 450 684.5 million dollars and the value of total imports amounted to 464 302.4 million dollars (INEGI, 2019). Therefore, it is important to carry out studies that allow a better positioning of the manufacturing sector. In this article, organizational innovation was explored as a strategy to achieve that the companies of the Manufacturing, Maquiladora and Export Services Industry (known in Spanish as IMMEX) of Tijuana, Baja California, manage to incorporate advanced manufacturing practices; a hypothesis, objective and research questions were proposed, which were tested and answered by applying the statistical tool linear analysis of regression.
