Abstract

Se examinan algunos aspectos de la conformación de la industria de servicios de software en México, adoptando un enfoque territorial, circunscrito en la teoría del desarrollo tardío y del cambio institucional. Se subraya que el software es una industria nueva y su propagación a países de desarrollo tardío depende de la transmisión internacional de conocimiento tecnológico. La hipótesis se apoya en el concepto de ecosistema de software. Entre más denso es el ecosistema mayor es el mercado local y, potencialmente, las posibilidades de aprendizaje tecnológico. Se señala que los servicios de software se han desarrollado principalmente en las ciudades de Guadalajara y México, pero han surgido de una industria fragmentada, pues pese a su potencial (alta proporción de ingenieros en la plantilla laboral en empresas locales nuevas) está siendo crecientemente marginada por dos tipos de competidores: las empresas globales y lo que aquí se llama competidores “genéricos” provenientes de España y la India, principalmente.
